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 […]

3…2…1…Meltdown
I’m happy to report that my routine is slowly returning to normal now that Mom and Dad are starting to feel better. Oh sure they continue to rudely keep me up at night with their constant coughing, but as long as I get my meals on time and a decent walk I can cut them […]

Last Dog Standing
Mom and Dad are sick with the flu, and Chuck Billy is sulking. That just leaves me, Asa, to take care of them all! But don’t worry, I’ve got everything under control. Dad is hunkered down on the couch watching TV. Now I know he needs his rest. Therefore, I stand in front of him […]

Heel Not to Temptation
One of the reasons I enrolled Mom and Dad in obedience training is because they need to learn to resist temptation for their safety and ours. Sure we all know the “leave it” and “drop it” commands, but this is about avoiding getting into that situation in the first place. Take for example if we […]
