Dog Festivals in Maine
There are three dog festivals happening in Maine this weekend! Two are in Portland, and one is in Freeport, and proceeds from all of them will go to lending a helping paw to animals in need. Ales for Tails: Join the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland (ARLGP) for Maine’s only dog-friendly beer festival, Ales for […]
Trigger Words
Dogs are keen observers of humans. We also are astute at reading a situation and responding appropriately. Thanks to many hours dedicated to watching Mom and Dad, I now have a good grasp on what words, phrases or sounds they commonly use that mean fun is about to happen. Now every dog knows the obvious […]
On My Pedestal
I take back everything negative I’ve said about Mom and Dad’s trainer. The man is a genius! This week he finally gave me the recognition I deserve. He put me on a pedestal! Clearly Mom and Dad weren’t worshipping me like they should. To clear up any confusion, this week in class their trainer put […]
Keeping It Cool with Bearding Bees
This is shaping up to be one of the top 5 most humid summers in Maine. Asa and I are lucky that we can retreat indoors to cool off with air conditioners. However, my hard working Honey Bees aren’t so lucky. Yet as with everything else Mother Nature throws at them, these ladies have a […]
Assault on My Senses
Dear Customer Service, Recently my Dad brought his car in for repairs. Although the technicians did an awesome job keeping Dad’s 14 year old car on the road, I have one complaint. Did they really need to douse it in air freshener? I’m not talking about a little spritz to freshen it up. Based on […]

Not That Different
Asa here. Can you keep a secret? I haven’t been fulfilling my guard dog duties. Instead, I’ve been happily observing two Fawns in our yard. Chuck Billy is in a growly mood though. He discovered not only did the Deer damage another one of his apple trees, they stole the two little apples growing on […]
Racked by Indecision
I’m almost positive that Mom and Dad’s trainer was trained by a cat. That is the only logical explanation for the illogical walk we did together in class this week. It all began with our continuing work in training Mom and Dad to follow my lead while leashed to me. After barking my concerns at […]
The Great Debate – Winter vs. Summer
Today Asa and I will be tackling the age old debate of which season is better, winter or summer. Being older and wiser, I will begin with my support of the best season ever, winter. Mother Nature, pull up a chair. I think you’re going to want to listen to this debate, and take notes. […]
Intergalactic Tourist Weekend
Asa here. While Chuck Billy, the renowned Dog Ufologist, goes around accusing cats of being Martians, I’d like to share with you my own theory. It is based on my experience after witnessing a UFO over my neighborhood Tuesday night. Ok, well I didn’t spot the UFO, per se. I just happened to be looking […]
