Lemmy Takes Charge
Twelve years ago today, on January 25, 2007, my big brother Lemmy came to live with Mom and Dad. For an eight week old puppy, he certainly had a huge project on his paws trying to train two first time dog owners. Boy were they unprepared for this little guy! Don’t get me wrong, Mom […]
Are You Prepared?
January is a good time to take inventory of your hiking first aid kit, so you’ll be prepared when adventure calls! Whether it is a quick trip to the beach or a full day of hiking, we always bring our first aid kit to help with minor scrapes and issues with both us and the […]
Asa’s Job Review
Tomorrow is the four year anniversary of Asa coming to live with us. Time to do another job evaluation! Back when Asa first joined our family, I wanted to make sure Asa wasn’t some sort of a slacker. So I would periodically review his role within our family. However, I guess it’s me who’s been […]
Ok Class Dismissed
Ok, a word of clarification that Mom and Dad’s training class isn’t dismissed. However, if Mom and Dad’s trainer thinks he can arbitrarily dismiss our favorite release word, he has another thing coming! Their trainer thinks it would be less confusing for Mom and Dad if they change our release word from “ok” to “dismissed.” […]
Snow Day
We interrupt our regularly scheduled blog post to share with you photos of Asa and myself playing in the snow. Here’s a fun fact. The time it takes for you to scroll through these six photos is about as long as we were outside. It’s freezing out! Tune in tomorrow for more adventures of Living […]
Weird Week in Maine
As a renowned Dog Ufologist, even I admit this has been a really weird week in Maine! On Wednesday a minor 2.3 magnitude earthquake rattled folks living just north of Rangeley Lake. Then on Wednesday evening a meteor was spotted over Ellsworth Harbor Park. Both relatively minor events on their own. However, there’s more! Earlier […]
Pet Food Drive for Unpaid Government Workers
As the government shutdown continues, please consider donating pet food and other pet supplies to your local food pantry or pet food pantry. In our community, Footprints Food Pantry in Kittery, Maine is offering support to any government employee in Kittery or Eliot affected by the shutdown. To help stock their shelves, the Petco on […]
Taste and Texture: My Startling Discovery
Dogs, did you know food has flavor and texture? Seriously, it does! I can’t believe I’ve been gulping it down all these years, and never noticed that until I got this new bowl. It all started a few months ago when I started vomiting every so often. Dr. Doug thought I may have developed a […]
Ignore the Annoying Puppy
Thus far in Mom and Dad’s obedience training we have focused on their polite leash walking and how to deal with mine and Asa’s celebrity status when human fans approach. Now we’re going to focus on training Mom and Dad on the polite greeting of dogs. However, it seems that Mom and Dad’s trainer and […]
Mother Nature, Are You Listening?
With temperatures continuing to hover well below freezing, and no substantial snow in sight in the forecast for southern Maine, it appears Mother Nature has ignored my recent request. Therefore, Asa is taking a different approach by writing a catchy song to the tune of “Winter Wonderland,” that will perhaps get Mother Nature to realize […]
