Dog Friendly Trails
Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Unneighborly New Neighbors
A Skunk, a Porcupine, and a Bear walked into my yard one day. I wish this was the start of one of Asa’s bad jokes, but sadly it isn’t! We were only gone for a week, but during that time some rather unsavory neighbors moved in too close to home. Thankfully we haven’t been formally […]

Gone Lobstering
While Asa was on his little adventure looking for pirate treasure, I embarked on a much more important quest during our recent vacation. I was going to finally have lobster for dinner! I’m not certain, but I think it is an unwritten residency rule that all Mainers must eat their weight in lobsters once a […]

Golden Treasure Map
Asa here. Before setting off on our vacation I read Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. It’s hard to believe with all the silly things that Chuck Billy believes, finding a map leading to buried treasure isn’t one of them. Would you believe he told me the days of pirate maps and finding treasure chests were […]

Fort Knox, Prospect, Maine
You won’t find gold at Fort Knox in Prospect, Maine. But if you’re lucky you may see Golden Retrievers at this dog friendly historic site. Constructed between 1844 and 1864 Fort Knox is Maine’s first fort entirely built of granite. Yet it was never completed. Today it is one of the best-preserved military fortifications on […]

Four forts and several hikes ago, we set off for a grand adventure! Last week Asa and I took Mom and Dad on vacation. This year we visited the Searsport, Maine area. Searsport is approximately one hour south of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, and offers many scenic dog friendly places to explore, yet […]

Celebrity Sugar High
Mom came home from grocery shopping with a perfect sugar cookie contestant for Tongue Out Tuesday. Too bad it is only Friday. But this does remind me of the time when Asa and myself were honored by being immortalized as sugar cookies. The following is my post from August 2015… I’m Kind of a Big […]

Mindfulness Dog Training
Asa here. While Chuck Billy is busy practicing sitting on his pedestal, I’d like to take this opportunity to share my thoughts on our recent experience training Mom and Dad. In many of his posts Chuck Billy accuses me of not grasping the seriousness of the situation or goofing off entirely. However, it is simply […]

Hiking with Chickens
Now that Mom and Dad’s summer school training is over, we’re gearing up to hit the trails to bring you even more Dog Friendly Places to enjoy! However, before we do, let’s take a stroll down memory lane to the strangest sign we’ve ever seen while hiking. As you probably guessed, Asa and I spend […]
