Beware of Falling Mice
There we were at the end of the driveway, with Mom and Dad leashed to Asa and myself, patiently waiting while Asa searched for the ideal spot to do his business. When all of a sudden something came falling out of the sky, almost hitting Mom! It happened so fast I didn’t get a good […]

Know Before You Go
Normally as Memorial Day weekend approaches I’d share a long list of all the dog friendly beaches in New England. However, there is nothing normal about this year.

Fruit of the Bloom
The Deer were nibbling on my precious fruit tree blooms again. Last year all their snacking damaged two of my apple tree saplings and one died. Therefore this year if I’m ever going to finally get fruit, I need to stop these bloom raiders by standing guard at my trees. Unfortunately I asked Asa, a […]
