Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Paws at 10 and 2
Wow, who would have guessed one errand could trigger such a roller coaster ride of emotions! Oh, it’s me Asa. Recently Dad took me to the Subaru dealership, but never told me the purpose for our errand. Instead, Dad just sat me down in the waiting room and put a Barkley “Driving Lesson” brochure in […]

Hide Nor Hare
Over the weekend Dad and I decided to explore the Cottontail Rabbit habitat in our neighbor’s woods. Not sure what I was expecting to see. Probably some sort of cross between the Rankin and Bass Easter special of “Here Comes Peter Cottontail,” and the recent Netflix adaptation of Richard Adams’ Watership Down. Instead we saw […]

This Class Is for the Birds
This week’s class was for the birds! No, I’m serious! There was a bird at Mom and Dad’s obedience class. And not just any bird, it talked! I don’t mean talking like the wild turkeys’ gobbling, a robin’s tweeting, or even like my annoying owl neighbor who is always asking, “who?” This bird could say […]

Timing Is Everything
I am a firm believer that timing is everything. However, despite my best efforts to instill this belief in Asa, he continues to ignore me. Case in point, despite the fact it is snowing today, he has decided to shed his winter coat in preparation for warmer days ahead. Asa’s rationale? The Groundhog, a rodent […]

No Place for Gnomes
Chuck Billy and Dad are out inspecting our woods for any damage from the windstorm. But they told me to stay home because I’d “just be in the way.” In the way?! Have they forgotten just a few years ago while on a walk in those very same woods I saved a Gnome’s life? Chuck […]

Slippery When Icy
Mother Nature, enough with the bitter cold temperatures and ice! After yet another snowstorm that changed over to freezing rain combined with bone chilling winds, once again you made our backyard into a slippery when icy mess. I haven’t played fetch in days! So while I write yet another nasty letter to Mother Nature demanding […]

The Hardest Lesson to Learn
I can’t believe I’m even having this conversation with Mom and Dad’s trainer. Apparently he is of the opinion that eating random food found on the ground is a bad thing. Clearly this man has never enjoyed a fresh pile of deer poop while hiking, nor visited a local park the day after a country […]

Our Music Critic
There’s no denying that Asa enjoys music. When he hears it, his ears perk up, his tail wags, he’s even been known to prance, woogle and dance to it. And yes, he can’t resist writing a parody or two of his favorite songs. Until now we thought Asa liked all genres of music. However, we […]
