Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Royal Pedigree
Dear Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Congratulations! I couldn’t help but notice that trending on Monday was the announcement you’re expecting a third child. May I be so bold as to suggest the perfect name? While George and Charlotte are perfectly fine names for your other children, I think this baby should have a name […]
Sanford Rail Trail, Sanford, ME
The Sanford-Springvale Rail Trail is an easy dog friendly walk that runs from the Lebanon town line to Springvale, and passes through Sanford, Maine. Following the former corridor of the old Portland to Worcester rail line, this 6 miles one way trail is a straight, flat walk through forest and neighborhoods, with scenic views of Deering […]
Big Bad Billy
Chuck Billy and Maddie sitting under a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! Chuck Billy is all flustered about a girl! As we all know, my big brother prides himself on being a big tough guy. He never hesitates to bark at threats both real and imagined. Well after visiting Grandma, it is pretty obvious he’s met his match […]
Working Like a Dog
In honor of Labor Day Weekend, I thought I’d share with you this email my big brother Lemmy wrote to his biological Mom, Butter, back on Labor Day in 2011. Apparently his attempt at getting a summer job didn’t go so well. But he was only 5 years old at the time…not to mention a […]

Chuck Billy’s Swimming School for Cats
It has come to my attention that despite living at my Grandparents’ lake house for a year now, my Kitty Cousins have yet to go swimming! Mind Blown! If I lived there I would roll out of bed every morning and jump in the lake. In fact if I could I’d spend my whole day […]
In the Cone Again
Well as you can see by the photo once again Asa is in the cone of shame. Don’t worry! He’s not injured. Asa just has a couple of hot spots that he won’t stop scratching. So to prevent further irritation, when Mom and Dad can’t keep an eye on him he has to wear the […]
