Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Hiking Stop and Go
Our virtual vacation in Maine continues with a stop at Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island. Popular with tourists from around the world, the Jordan Pond Path is a moderately challenging dog friendly hike. This loop trail is 3.2 miles with views of The Bubbles (South and North Bubble Mountains) and the pristine waters […]
Starring Hikers with Dogs
Next stop on our Maine Virtual Vacation, we’re headed to the Cutler Preserve, where I briefly worried that Asa and I were starring in our own Stephen King movie. So grab your hiking sticks, and your courage, and join us for this remote hike. Located in Cutler, Maine, the Cutler Coast Public Reserved Land is […]
Maine Virtual Vacation
Clear your schedules and grab some treats, we’re going on a Maine Virtual Vacation! Our vacation had to be canceled this year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t let our minds travel. Therefore, Asa and I invite you to join us this week for a virtual hike down memory lane as we revisit some of […]
Turkey Flash Mob
Ruh! Roh! Chuck Billy is going to be mad that I messed up again. Oh hi, it’s me, Asa. I’m still in charge of neighborhood watch while Chuck Billy’s paw heals. After a small incident earlier in the week, I thought I finally got a hang of this being in charge stuff. Yet once again […]
Any Dog Can Be an Iron Dog in 2020

Fooled Again
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me a third time, and you seriously just need to stop! I can’t believe it happened again. Me, Chuck Billy the renowned Dog Ufologist, was abducted by a UFO at Dr. Doug’s veterinary hospital while investigating the Mystery of the Bloody Paw […]
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 […]
