Anything You Can Do
Asa, we need to have a little chat. Yes it is impressive that you out ran me and caught that frisbee…multiple times…in a row. But don’t you even think for a minute it is because you’re more athletic than me. It was just pure luck. After all, as your older brother anything you can do […]

Nose Work Champion
Yesterday Mom once again managed to slip into a post a reference to Lemmy’s triumphant day competing the New Hampshire Working Dogs Foundation’s Iron Dog way back in 2008. Sure we are proud of him. But how about a shout out to my short-lived career in Nose Work competitions? What, you didn’t know I’m certified […]

Empty Hiver
I have to admit last week was a real nail biter for me worrying about merging my Honey Bees with Azzza Hive. Would they be accepted? Would they like their new home? Could they even find their new home after they go out for the day? Ok, so that last one may seem silly to […]

Mr. Cuddles Strikes Again
Asa, I get it. You’re a cuddler. You like to be as close as possible to everyone. While being petted you lean into the person, putting all your weight against them. When Dad is working, nothing makes you happier than resting your head on his lap and watching him. And Mom is convinced your fur […]
