Vacationing with Humans
Mom and Dad are creatures of habit. Therefore, once a year Asa and I like to shake things up by taking them on vacation. So last week we surprised Mom and Dad by heading to Acadia National Park in Maine for an adventure! Now when traveling with Humans, especially Helicopter Dog Parents, it is important […]

Chuck Billy and the Beanstalk
I’m pleased to say for the first time our little garden is overflowing with tomatoes! As I anxiously await for them to ripen, I thought I’d share with you one of Mom’s favorite stories about the time Dad accidentally planted magic beans, forcing me to add patrolling for Giants to my watch dog duties. Back […]

Dire Wolf School
Ok, I admit it, I’ve been a little lazy when it comes to homeschooling Asa. So he may have forgotten a lesson or two. However, I never realized how out of touch he was getting with his inner Wolf until he insisted on bringing his squeaky toy on a hike with us! It didn’t even […]

Unbearable Hike
There we were greeted at the Hedgehog Mountain trailhead with a sign no Dog wants to see. A Bear was seen enjoying our hiking trails! I really can’t blame him. Bear in mind, Hedgehog Mountain really is a nice hike, and there’s nothing on the signs that say, “No Bears Allowed.” Perhaps he decided to […]

Hedgehog Mountain, Freeport, ME
With over 5 miles of trails, Hedgehog Mountain in Freeport, Maine is a popular dog friendly hike. But don’t let the name fool you! Hedgehog Mountain is more of a hill, reaching less than 300 feet above sea level. It is, however, the highest point in Freeport, and thanks to the local Boy Scouts, efforts […]
