Paws Walk Reimagined
Even before they had dogs, Mom and Dad have participated in the NHSPCA’s Paws Walk. They’ve walked in the pouring rain, and on blazing hot days too. They’ve attended when it was held at Wallis State Beach in Rye, and at Stratham Hill Park. Now on Sunday, June 14, 2020, they will be walking virtually […]
The Thrill of the Chase Is Over
The thrill of the chase is over! Someone found Forrest Fenn’s treasure chest hidden in the Rocky Mountains! But who? For those who may not be familiar with the story, ten years ago antiquities and art dealer, Forrest Fenn, went into the Rocky Mountains and hid a treasure chest rumored to be worth $1 million, […]
Lobsters: A Rags to Riches History
As we continue our celebration of Maine’s 200th anniversary, today we are sharing the rags to riches history of lobsters! Lobsters are now considered a delicacy, but it wasn’t always that way. This lobster tale is all about supply, demand, and changing perceptions. Early explorers to New England marveled that lobsters were so plentiful that […]
Neither Here Nor There
Does anyone know if there’s an expiration date on sanitizing wipes? While Mom and Dad continue organizing and now reorganizing everything in the house they stumbled upon this container tucked away in a safe place in the office cabinet. Yep, the same cabinet you see us sleeping in front of while Dad works. We had […]

We thought folks could use a smile today. So we’d just like to share our video from 2017 of our visit to Dog Mountain in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. We hope it brings a smile to your day. PS: Play with sound on if you’d like to tap your toes too.

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 […]
Prohibition in Maine
2020 not only marks the 200th anniversary of Maine’s statehood, it is also the 100th anniversary of the 18th Amendment that banned the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages in the United States. The National Prohibition Amendment was later repealed, but did you know Maine was a leading force in the passage of this […]
Intergalactic Tourists Are Back
The unofficial start of summer is here, and with it marks the return of intergalactic tourists to Maine! It is an unspoken belief that extraterrestrials love vacationing in Maine. This phenomenon was first brought to my attention on the eve of Memorial Day Weekend in 2016 when Sgt. Tim Farris of the Portland Police captured […]
