Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
The First Dog Road Trip in America
It’s no secret that dogs love car rides. Every year countless dogs head out on the open road to drive across the country with their owners. However, do you know who is the first dog to go on a cross country road trip in America? That honor goes to Bud, an American Pit Bull Terrier! […]
Strut Your Mutt 2018
Grab your leashes and head to Mother’s Beach in Kennebunk, Maine this Sunday, September 9, for the 24th Annual Strut Your Mutt to benefit the Animal Welfare Society. This is the Animal Welfare Society’s biggest fundraiser, with all proceeds to benefit animals who need medical care while waiting for their forever home. The festivities begin […]
Back to School Words of Wisdom
As many of our friends with both four legs and two, young and old, go back to school this week, I would like to share with you the sage advice I gave Asa when he was just a pup. These words of inspiration can be found carved in stone along the Babson Boulder Trail in […]
Golden With Envy
Perhaps it isn’t just Mom, Dad, Asa, and their trainer, that could benefit from making a few changes. Perhaps I could use a little help too. It has come to my attention that I may have some separation issues. Ok, I admit it. I sometimes get jealous of Asa when he’s the center of attention. […]
My Incident at Exeter 2015
Recently I was asked how I became a renown Dog Ufologist. It all happened at that incident in Exeter. No, I’m not talking about the infamous UFO sighting that occurred in Exeter, New Hampshire in 1965. I’m referring to my attendance at the Exeter UFO Festival in 2015. The Exeter UFO Festival is an annual […]
Acadia National Park Dog Hikes
Labor Day Weekend is a great time to explore dog friendly Acadia National Park in Maine. With trails ranging from easy to difficult there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The following are just a few of the trails we hiked during our visit last year, and most are located on the “quiet side” of Acadia […]
Put a Dog on It
I think I may have accidentally created a monster. Don’t get me wrong. I take great pride in seeing my goofy little brother transform from a floppy puppy embarrassed being the center of attention, to a dog who proudly sits and accepts his celebrity status. However, Asa is taking it to extremes by insisting the […]
Taking the Show on the Road
While out and about accompanying Mom and Dad on errands we drove past Mayor Baxter Woods in Portland, Maine. Before I could even utter a single bark, Mom voiced exactly what I was thinking. “This would be a good place to practice our training!” So after stocking up on bee supplies, we explored this park […]
Miraculous Return
You’re not going to believe this, but Mom’s old camera is working again! Yes, the camera that broke in July. The very same camera that the guy at the repair store said couldn’t be fixed. It suddenly decided to work again! Mom was reluctant to get rid of her faithful companion, so it has been […]
Weren’t We Lucky
This has been a sad week for us. The woman we all hoped would live forever passed away at the age of 98. Mom’s Great Aunt Dottie was a quiet reassuring presence in our lives. Always supportive, but also asking the important questions, Great Aunt Dottie’s gentle, witty guidance will be deeply missed. Today I would […]
