Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
A Rare February Treat
Today is one of those rare days in winter where Mother Nature gives us hope that spring is on the way. After a bone chilling January, Mother Nature is giving us beach weather in February! Ok, so there’s still snow on the beach, and Mom is wearing boots instead of flip flops. But by Maine […]
Hobo Falls Trail, Northfield, MA
Hobo Falls Trail in Northfield, Massachusetts is a nice place to visit during the spring thaw and after a heavy rain to enjoy the waterfall. However before visiting, be aware that there are some drawbacks to exploring this trail. Before going on a hike I like to research the trail. Here is what I found […]
Presidential Dogs – Sweet Lips, Drunkard and Fido
Many dogs have called the White House home and have proudly served our country as top dog. However today I’d like to pay tribute to two devoted presidential dog owners, whose best friends never set a paw in the White House. Yet their devotion to their dogs was undeniable, namely George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. […]
It’s the Year of the Dog
Today marks the start of Chinese New Year! Better yet, according to the Chinese zodiac calendar, it is the Year of the Dog! So I decided to do a little research to see what this all means. The Dog occupies the eleventh position in the Chinese zodiac, after the Rooster, and before the Pig. Which […]

Agony of De-Paws
Sometimes, in rising up to meet a challenge, you can run into adversity. This is my story. During the subfreezing temperatures in January, Dad got the ridiculous idea that Asa and I should wear booties to protect our paws. As you can probably guess, Asa and I had completely different reactions. However, being a good […]
Dog Winter Olympics
The Dog Winter Olympics are finally here! Today Asa and Chuck Billy will be competing in the dog-cathlon! Yes, the decathlon is normally considered to be a Summer Olympics sport. However at the Dog Olympics, we like to make these track and field sports more difficult by showing off the athletes’ running and jumping skills […]
To All the Toys I’ve Loved Before
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Asa is getting a bit nostalgic thinking of all his old squeaky toys that are no longer with us. Ok, I admit I may have killed a toy or two. But that is no reason to get all wishy washy and dedicate a song to them! Sure he […]
