Today we are pressing pause on our scheduled post to pay tribute to Eddie Van Halen. Van Halen was our Mom’s introduction to rock music. She can’t remember when our Uncle bought his first Van Halen album, but instantly the entire family was captivated by his guitar playing. In fact, as a child Mom named […]
When Asa was a puppy, he was convinced that he’d grow up to be a Dire Wolf. No surprise, he didn’t. What is a surprise is we recently learned that a Dire Wolf may have been found in Maine not so long ago. Now I’m not referring to the Dire Wolf craze from a few […]
Not to brag, but this weekend we had our first big apple harvest! For eight years now, Dad has been planting two apple trees a year. The first two he planted died by the end of that summer due to insects. Subsequent trees, which all started out as approximately 2 to 3 feet tall saplings, […]
It’s here! The moment Mom and Asa have been waiting for! The release of Bon Jovi’s newest album, “Bon Jovi 2020!” Well, it’s sort of here. Our CD that Asa ordered hasn’t arrived yet. I know what you’re thinking, he could just purchase a digital album and not have to wait, but Asa is “old […]
On October 2, 1950 good ol’ Charlie Brown humbly walked into his first Peanuts comic strip. A few days later, his loyal companion Snoopy joined him on October 4, 1950. 70 years later they are still bringing smiles and life lessons to people and dogs around the world! Written and illustrated by Charles M. Schulz, […]
Attention Neighbors! Good news! I am back on patrol duty! My paw is healed! No more worrying about having Asa in charge of neighborhood patrol. And by the looks of things I’ve returned just in time! There appears to be a lot of suspicious activity happening in our neighborhood. Asa, just when were you planning […]
Asa here. While Mom and I are continuing our countdown to Bon Jovi’s new album on Friday, Chuck Billy insisted that we continue with our usual Tuesday theme of sharing interesting facts. So I compromised. Back in the spring of 2018, Chuck Billy wrote a long post explaining in precise details why Honey Bees swarm. […]
WHAT? Sorry I can’t hear you over Asa’s caterwauling. He is barking along to Mom’s Bon Jovi CDs. They will be releasing their newest album, “Bon Jovi 2020,” this Friday, October 2nd. It’s Mom’s tradition to play all their CDs and DVDs to celebrate the upcoming release of their newest album. That means between now […]
Asa and I wrap up our Maine Virtual Vacation with a trip to a beach that really rocks! Maine is known for it’s rugged, rocky coastline, but Jasper Beach, located in Howard Cove, Machiasport, rocks out to it’s own unique music. Jasper Beach isn’t a sandy get away to spend the day. Rather this dog […]
In the spirit of Throwback Thursday, today on our Maine Virtual Vacation we’re going way back thousands of years to a place where the prehistoric inhabitants of Maine threw their recyclables. Ok, so in terms of our hike down memory lane we’re only going back to 2019, but the Damariscotta Shell Midden goes back a […]
