Wild About Blueberries
To celebrate Maine’s Bicentennial, thus far this month we’ve shared fun facts about Maine’s state soft drink, Moxie, and official treat, Whoopie Pies. Today we turn our attention to Maine’s state fruit, the Wild Blueberry! Now when we say, “wild,” we truly mean wild! There are approximately 60,000 acres of this completely wild and natural […]

The Accomplice
Pssst. It’s me, Asa. Come closer. I need to whisper because I don’t want Chuck Billy to hear. While he continues to recover from surgery, Chuck Billy has trusted me to be in charge of neighborhood patrol. Easy, right? I’ve walked up and down our street countless times spreading cheer. But something happened this weekend […]

Virtual Walk for Grandpa 2020
Normally at Living with a Golden we share information about fundraising events that support animals. Whether it be shelters, service dogs, working dogs, or even the occasional cat cause, Asa and I are strong believers in lending a helping paw. But today we’d like to ask you to consider participating in a fundraiser that directly […]

Dueling Lawn Mowers
While I continue to rest my paw, I’ve had a lot of time to just quietly sit and listen. Oh sure I could bark at trespassing squirrels, but then what? I can’t chase them, and they’d figure out really quickly that I’m all bark and no bite. Besides, sometimes it’s good to just sit quietly […]

Don’t Forget Delsey
I can’t help but wonder what happened to me on Wednesday? It had all the telltale signs of an UFO abduction, including missing period of time and an unexplained medical procedure performed on me. We know these classic signs, thanks to Betty and Barney Hill, who were the first to publicly report being abducted by […]

Paw Typing
Thank you to everyone for your well wishes! Typing with one paw makes it difficult to respond to each of you individually. Please know though that I am completely awestruck by all your love, prayers, and kind words of support. Having Asa as my nurse is also motivating me to heal as quickly as possible! […]

Mystery of the Bloody Paw Prints
At approximately 6:30 AM on the morning of September 2, 2020 after returning from neighborhood patrol, I received a report by concerned citizen Mom that bloody paw prints were found in the living room. This sounds like a case for Detective Chuck Billy! I immediately secured the area so that myself and my assistant, Asa, […]

Maine’s Moxie
As we continue to celebrate Maine’s 200th anniversary, today I’m sharing fun facts about our official soft drink, Moxie! Created by Mainer, Dr. Augustin Thompson in 1876, this bitter drink was originally marketed as patent medicine called “Moxie Nerve Food.” Thompson wasn’t too far from the truth there. The main ingredient of Moxie, gentian root […]

Asa’s Houseguests
To those of you who suggested that Asa make friends with critters bigger than bugs, he listened. After months of not being able to do laundry, Mom headed down to the basement and was greeted by a mouse. Now clearly this mouse was just as surprised to see Mom, as she was to see her, […]
