Loose Change Challenge for ARLGP
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find as much spare change as possible for the Loose Change Challenge to benefit the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland! The goal is to raise life-saving funds by collecting the spare and loose coins weighing down purses, tucked away in pockets, forgotten under couch […]
Don’t Mention Big Annie
Recently a few people on social media commented about the doll in the St. Patrick’s Day photo that we shared. I really can’t tell you more about her. In fact, I’m forbidden to speak of the doll. You see, that doll is Dad’s kryptonite. Our brave pack leader is afraid of “creepy dolls.” It’s his […]
Ferreting Out the Truth About Squirrels
I’m realizing that Mom and Dad’s obedience trainer hangs out with a bad crowd. You won’t believe who he invited to join us in class today. Two Squirrels who he kept insisting were some make believe creature called Ferrets. HA! Like he could fool me: brown, fuzzy, long tail, runs fast, unpredictable movements, you can’t […]
UnBEElievable
I gave Asa one job to do with our Honey Bees, one job! And despite the fact it was critical to do it in a small window of time, he hired someone else to do it for him! It was the Queen Bee he was suppose to trick, not me! Ok, I’m getting ahead of […]
Portland, Maine, I Don’t Know Where That Is
Happy 199th Birthday to the State of Maine! On March 15, 1820, Maine officially became the 23rd state in the Union. Now in the song, “Portland, Maine,” Tim McGraw may have sung, “Portland, Maine, I don’t know where that is, And I don’t want to know,” but he’s missing out on a lot of fun […]

Dire Wolf Prophecy Update
Yesterday while Chuck Billy was complimenting my unique approach to training Mom and Dad, he neglected to mention another major milestone I’ve reached. It is clear in this photo that I’ve had another growth spurt. Slowly but surely my Dire Wolf prophecy is coming true! For those of you who may not have been following […]
Ping Pong Pup
Once again Asa is putting his own spin, or in this case bounce, on Mom and Dad’s training. So far in their lessons he commando crawled his way through down/stays to greet adoring fans, rolled on his back with floppy paws waving in the air during an informal sit/stay competition, and ran zoomies around the […]
Stolen Time
Sometime between Saturday night and early Sunday morning someone or something stole an hour of our time. This senseless crime has disrupted the schedules of dogs across the country. Yes, we need to save daylight time. But not for the reasons that they want you to think! This isn’t about sunlight! This is about a […]
