From Wolves to Pampered Pets
In our quest to understand the history of dogs, we’ve already established that dogs became domesticated from wolves approximately 40,000 years ago, and that the special bond between humans and dogs could be seen in prehistoric rock drawings depicting individualized dogs hunting alongside humans. However, how did we go from wolves to the variety of […]
Golden Tail Wags Awards 2021: Home Edition
Welcome to the 4th Annual Golden Tail Wags Awards! Normally we celebrate the weird and wonderful things we’ve seen on our Dog Friendly Places adventures the previous year. However, nothing was normal about 2020, and we didn’t go anyplace. So today we are turning the spotlight on the delightful cast of characters who made staying […]
We Must Persevere!
Dogs, it’s very exciting watching the footage from NASA’s Mars Rover, Perseverance; and the details in the photos of Jupiter sent back from the Juno mission are amazing. However, we must also keep an eye to the sky here at home! While we’re all focused on exploring other planets, there are UFOs that are just […]
Gnome Cold Case Reopened
As I continue to try to solve the case of the Jolly Ball found in our woods, I was reminded of another strange find from years ago. In February 2016, Asa rescued a Gnome buried in snow in our woods not too far away from the location of our most recent find. At the time […]

Every day we have to wait through Dad’s zoom meeting before we can go for our afternoon walk. Somedays the meetings are quick, barely 15 minutes long. Other days the meetings can go upwards of […]

Jolly Good Ruse
I, Chuck Billy the great detective, has foolishly fallen victim to a ruse! On Saturday I was working an overtime shift patrolling our woods, when I spotted a suspicious red item in the snow. Not knowing what the item was, I sent my patrol sergeant, Dad, into the hazardous thicket far off the trail to […]
Attic Memories
This weekend marks the one year anniversary of when we last visited with Grandma under the same roof. Little did we realize that those news reports of an illness on the other side of the world, would soon be at our neck of the woods, forcing us to keep our distance. But on that seemingly […]
Virtual Wine Tasting and Paint Night for NHSPCA
Dogs, are your humans getting on your nerves? Do you need something to distract them so you can have a little peace if only for a couple hours? We recommend registering them for Virtual Wine Tasting and Paint Night to benefit the animals at the New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals! […]
