Dr. Spider DVM
I’d like to give a shoutout to the smallest and newest veterinarian at my animal hospital, Dr. Spider DVM! There I was waiting in the exam room for my veterinarian, when all of a sudden this spider came walking in under the door from the restricted area where the doctor usually enters. Clearly this was […]

Who’s a Lean, Mean, Hiking Machine!
Not to brag, but I will. Who is a “lean, mean, hiking machine”? ME! That’s who! And unlike Asa, I didn’t need to do a grand entrance during my recent annual physical at the animal hospital. I walked in there like the mature dog that I am. Alright, I did notice the treat containers next […]

I Gave Asa One Job
Asa, you do realize why I called you into my office today? We need to have a little chat about your job performance this weekend. As you know, we experienced a rare geomagnetic storm Friday night. Not just any geomagnetic storm, a G4 (Kp8), making the Aurora Borealis visible over most of the country. As […]

Feeling Dish-ingenuous with Our Gift
Well this is awkward. On Friday Asa and I agreed to disagree as to what is the perfect Mother’s Day gift. After reviewing Asa’s not so great ideas, we decided it would be best if we each picked out a gift for Mom. So you can’t begin to imagine our embarrassment when we realized we […]

Asa’s Not So Great Ideas
Once again I put Asa in charge of picking out a Mother’s Day gift. However, based on the recommendations popping up in our social media timeline, I’m a little worried about what Asa has in mind. Take for example this vintage dress from the 1860s… Asa: Whoa! Don’t be so quick to judge! I found […]

Super Fluffy
In light of Asa’s surprise bath, he somehow talked me into sharing one of his B-list songs. As his manager, I tried to convince him that there was a reason why we never released this parody sooner. The chorus of this little ditty has been around for years. In fact, Asa sings it after every […]

Questionable Luck
Yesterday while on neighborhood patrol, a bird decided to relieve herself on Asa. Yep, splat right on his shoulder and part of his harness. Good aim for hitting a moving target, from such a distance sitting high above our heads on the electric lines. But that’s not the point of this story. Mom immediately proclaimed, […]

Celebrating 9 Years of No Bowl Empty 2 Pet Food Pantry
Nine years ago, while running a cat shelter in Maine, Nadine Molloy recognized there was a bigger issue that needed addressing in her community. Families were surrendering their beloved pets not because they wanted to, but because they were faced with a difficult financial decision between feeding their pets and feeding their families. That’s when […]

Singing Beach, Manchester by the Sea, Massachusetts
Last November I thought what better place to take Asa, an up and coming rock star, than Singing Beach in Manchester by the Sea, Massachusetts. Dogs are allowed during the off-season of October 15 – April 15. Although I probably should have done my research before taking Asa there to perform. The name Singing Beach […]
