The Boot that Bean Built
As we continue to celebrate Maine’s 200th anniversary, I thought I’d share with you the story behind the name that has become synonymous with the state, L.L. Bean. Today L.L. Bean is known for its outdoor clothing and sporting equipment. Its catalogs are mailed around the world, and its flagship store in Freeport, Maine draws […]

More Embarrassing Behavior
Well that was embarrassing. I know it’s been months since we’ve gone on a car ride, but I didn’t expect Mom and Dad to behave so silly. Last week Mom and I both had doctor appointments. In the past those would have been routine car rides. However, now they’ve become exciting adventures…well at least for […]

VIP Treatment at the Vet’s Office
I had the best annual wellness exam with my veterinarian, Dr. Doug! At first I was hoping my appointment would be a telehealth visit, like the one my Mom had a few weeks ago. This way I could avoid the poking and the prodding, and perhaps shed a few pounds on my self-reported weight. However, […]

Momma Sage and Grandma Rue
For Mother’s Day Asa and I would like to tell you about our beautiful Momma Sage and Grandma Rue. They’re celebrities! Momma Sage and Grandma Rue each had the honor of being models for L.L. Bean! Grandma Rue’s modeling career began when she was asked to pose for the 2010 catalog. Rue was very familiar […]

Asa’s Active Imagination
My brother Asa has such an active imagination. Ever since he was a puppy he’s been convinced that there is a monster living in the closet in Dad’s office.

So today I’d like to share with you some fun facts about our nutty neighbors. The name squirrel has its origins in Greek, who called the animal skiouros, which […]

Dog Training Takes a Village
As Asa and I continue to follow social distancing guidelines and staying home, I realized something very important. It takes a village to train Mom and Dad! Just a little over a month ago, all my dreams of having Dad and I certified as a Canine Good Citizen came to a crashing halt. We were […]

UFOs Are Real
I cannot let this week go by without acknowledging the monumental event that took place. The United States Department of Defense acknowledged that UFOs exist! Sure as far back as 1950 Donald Keyhoe came to that conclusion in his book Flying Saucers Are Real, based on his investigation of encounters between UFOs and the US […]

Hunting Wild Honey Bees
Earlier this week I shared that my hives suffered from Colony Collapse Disorder, and that due to travel restrictions I could not replace them with new Honey Bees purchased from Georgia. Although I’m disappointed, I realize just how lucky we are to have that luxury of being able to buy Honey Bees. Beekeeping in Maine […]

Nothin’ But a New Toy
Today we’d like to share this dog song parody of “Nothin’ But a Good Time” that Asa wrote in 2018, and dedicate it to a very dear friend of Mom’s who left us far too soon. She was Bret Michaels of Poison’s biggest fan, and absolutely adored her dogs. So Danielle, I raise this toast […]
