Dog Friendly Trails
Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Buzz Off, Dad!
Have I mentioned we still have a bit of a learning curve when it comes to beekeeping? Case in point: When being pursued by angry Honey Bees, do not seek shelter in the basement, because they will follow you. So as you may have guessed our latest attempt at harvesting honey included a basement filled […]
Whaleback Shell Midden, Damariscotta, ME
Created thousands of years ago, the Whaleback Shell Midden in Damariscotta, Maine is a unique dog friendly historic walk. Native Americans visited this site along the Damariscotta River from about 2,200 to 1,000 years ago.

Replaced After Thousands of Years
For thousands of years dogs and humans have had a good working relationship. We protect them. They feed us. However, after thousands of years of being dedicated to our job, we’re now being replaced. Humans have outsourced a dog’s #1 job to artificial intelligence! Worst yet, I had to find out while watching tv! So […]

Hopeless Flirt
Asa here. It’s no secret that I like to flirt with the ladies on social media. It’s also no secret that I’m not very good at it, and can get nervous sometimes when they actually respond back. Well you can’t even begin to imagine my excitement when I heard that Priss and Bogey’s family were […]
This Vacation Is For The Birds
Well I learned an important lesson on my vacation. Always ask if it is a shared rental and research the location. Turns out our rental cottage was a popular bird destination! It didn’t take long after our arrival for Asa and I to notice the previous guests were still lingering on the lawn. I politely […]
