Dog Friendly Trails
Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
The Lost Valley
Yesterday Mom shared a review of our hike on the Beech Mountain Valley Trail. However, what she left out was an account of my suspense-filled adventure into this mysterious valley where prehistoric and mythical creatures dwell in the wilds of Acadia National Park! Accompanying me was Asa, the skeptic; Dad, our fearless navigator; and Mom, […]
Beech Valley Trail, Southwest Harbor, ME
Most people go to Acadia National Park for mountain top views and the scenic coastline. However, if you’re looking for a different perspective we recommend Beech Mountain Valley Trail in Southwest Harbor, Maine. This dog friendly trail is an easy to moderate hike through dense forest, on a boulder strewn trail, with interesting rock formations […]
Researching the Secret Lives of Cats
In my on-going research into the secret lives of cats I made a startling discovery. Some cats like to do errands! Prior to Saturday’s observation, I was aware that a few cats enjoy going on vacation. Case in point a couple years ago I interviewed my friend Cheez-It about his multiple trips cross country. However, […]
Happy with a Twist Golden Yoga
Congratulations Grandma! Asa and I are very excited to announce that our Grandma is now a certified yoga instructor! Her training began last fall, and she has worked really hard learning all sorts of interesting things including the proper way to pose and move, anatomy, and different approaches of teaching everyone from children to the […]

Colander of Shame
It’s official. Dad has finally lost his mind. I knew it was only a matter of time, but I never expected it to be in such an absurd manner! Dad turned Asa’s cone of shame into a colander of shame! On Sunday Mom discovered a hot spot on Asa. When Mom and Dad can’t keep […]
Putting Our Best Paw Forward
Dogs gather around. We need to talk. We’ve all been there. You’re enjoying a great day at the beach or on a trail, when all of a sudden that dog shows up and ruins it for everyone. Maybe he’s running with reckless abandon off-leash, or perhaps she’s a bit too friendly when greeting fellow weekend […]
Newbie Bees
Our new Honey Bees have arrived, and they are thriving! A fellow beekeeper drove roundtrip from northern Maine to Georgia to deliver them a few weeks ago. The two new colonies of Honey Bees were transported in a screened and secure box, otherwise Mom would never let me get this close to welcome my new […]
That Time Asa Rescued Me
I admit I sometimes I give my little brother a hard time. I have to do it. It’s my job as a big brother. Just like it is Asa’s job as my little brother to be extra annoying. However, despite all my teasing I know I can count on Asa in an emergency. Would you […]
