Dog Friendly Trails
Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Dire Wolf School
Ok, I admit it, I’ve been a little lazy when it comes to homeschooling Asa. So he may have forgotten a lesson or two. However, I never realized how out of touch he was getting with his inner Wolf until he insisted on bringing his squeaky toy on a hike with us! It didn’t even […]

Goldens of the Corn Maze
Asa and I have swam in the vast ocean and climbed the highest mountains, but who would have guessed our biggest challenge would be a corn maze! My first warning that this wasn’t going to be a typical hike was the the map posted at the trailhead. Now I’ve seen some complicated trails in my […]
Pour Some Sugar on Bees
There’s an autumn chill in the air these past few mornings, thus signaling to my Honey Bees it is time to start preparing for the long winter ahead. Here’s an update on what Sorority Row is up to these days. First off, look out boys, the girls are cleaning house! As with last year, the […]

Unbearable Hike
There we were greeted at the Hedgehog Mountain trailhead with a sign no Dog wants to see. A Bear was seen enjoying our hiking trails! I really can’t blame him. Bear in mind, Hedgehog Mountain really is a nice hike, and there’s nothing on the signs that say, “No Bears Allowed.” Perhaps he decided to […]
Hedgehog Mountain, Freeport, ME
With over 5 miles of trails, Hedgehog Mountain in Freeport, Maine is a popular dog friendly hike. But don’t let the name fool you! Hedgehog Mountain is more of a hill, reaching less than 300 feet above sea level. It is, however, the highest point in Freeport, and thanks to the local Boy Scouts, efforts […]
Walking Day and Nighttime
I think we all could use a smile this morning. So I’m going to do something uncharacteristic of me. I’m letting Asa pick from the archives his favorite song parody to share with you today. It comes with little surprise that he chose a song he is often heard singing on our daily walks. Ok, […]
Walk for Grandpa
I’m stepping out of my comfort zone today. Normally I share information about fundraising events that support animals, whether it be shelters, service dogs, working dogs, or even the occasional cat cause, I’m a strong believer in lending a helping paw. But today I’d like to ask you to consider participating in a fundraiser that […]

This is the Animal Welfare Society’s biggest fundraiser, with all proceeds to benefit animals who need expensive medical care while waiting for their forever home. The festivities […]
