Where Are They Hiding?
My Honey Bees are out there, maybe even nearby! As you know my hives are empty this year. Recently on a walk, while I paused to take care of business, I noticed a Honey Bee collecting pollen on a dandelion. At the time, it just made my tail droop thinking about my departed friends. However […]

You Can’t Hurry Fetch
Phil Collins once sang, “You can’t Hurry Love.” You know what else you can’t hurry? Fetch! This weekend was absolutely perfect weather for our favorite game. Yet for some reason Mom didn’t want to play endless rounds of fetch with us. Therefore Asa came up with this little song parody of Phil Collin’s tune to […]

Favorite Memories of Golden Jubilation
This weekend we were planning to attend the 6th Annual New England Golden Jubilee at Dog Mountain in St. Johnsbury, VT. But alas, like so many other events, this one had to be canceled until next year. However, the organizers Andy and Grant, as well as their humans, Sandra and Peter, do not believe in […]

Asa’s Puppy Brain
When Asa was little I spent a lot of time trying to be a positive influence on his cognitive development. After all, it is widely accepted by dog behaviorists that behavior is neither entirely inherited or entirely acquired. Rather dog cognition is the process in dogs of acquiring, storing in memory, retrieving, combining, comparing, and […]

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.
