Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Attack of the Robot Bees
As a Dog beekeeper, I find Walmart’s foray into the world of Bees ridiculous! Recently Walmart filed a patent for “autonomous robotic bees,” to be used as “pollination drones.” According to their patent application, small unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, would be programmed to go from plant to plant collecting pollen and then go on to […]
Spring Dog Adventures
Today is the first day of spring! However, let’s face it, Mother Nature loves winter and is making it linger. Who knows what she has planned for us in the upcoming weeks? But whatever Mother Nature does we hope you get outside and enjoy all that spring in New England has to offer! So while […]
Green With Envy
Asa here. Chuck Billy is looking a bit green this morning. No, not because of his St. Patrick’s Day celebration. Chuck Billy is green with envy, and I may have something to do with it. Last week during the snowstorm a reporter saw the picture I tweeted of me looking out the window at the […]
Blessing in Disguise
Yesterday this memory of a conversation with Mom’s Great Aunt appeared on my timeline. It reminded me that this recent string of snowstorms may actually be a blessing in disguise. Great Aunt Dottie is the wise matriarch of our family, and even I, brilliant dog that I am, can learn from her. She no longer […]
Maine Fun Facts
Happy 198th Birthday State of Maine! On March 15, 1820, Maine separated from Massachusetts to become the 23rd state. That makes Maine 1386 years old in dog years! Now we may be a bit biased because we live here, but Maine is our favorite state! To celebrate Maine’s birthday, we thought we would share some […]

No Shedding Monkeys Allowed
I make it a point to always read the fine print when looking for a dog friendly vacation rental. Although a place may claim to be a pet friendly summer cottage, some rental properties are very specific about what they will allow. Most have rather routine rules. However, while recently researching where we’ll stay this […]
Finding Asa
All that snow yesterday got me nostalgic about Asa’s first winter. In 2015 we received a record amount of snow, in fact it literally snowed every day for the first 16 days he lived with us! I was convinced that Mom and Dad accidentally brought home a polar bear instead of a puppy. But I […]
