Dog Friendly Trails
Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Unforeseen Diet Repercussion
First off I want to stress that we’re ok. However, our dishwasher did catch on fire! Thank goodness rather than run it at night when we usually do, Mom happened to turned it on in the afternoon so was sitting nearby when smoke and sparks started coming out of it. That’s a relief, because although […]
Chesterfield Gorge, Chesterfield, NH
Chesterfield Gorge State Wayside, in Chesterfield, NH, is an easy dog friendly scenic walk. The 0.7 mile Wilderness Loop Trail follows Wilde Brook and winds its way around both sides of the gorge, with scenic views of the series of waterfalls. There is a fence around the steep drop-off to protect curious pups, but there […]
Don’t Be That Dog
Dogs gather around. We need to talk. We’ve all been there. You’re enjoying a great day at the beach or on a trail, when all of a sudden that dog shows up and ruins it for everyone. Maybe he’s running with reckless abandon off-leash, or perhaps she’s a bit too friendly when greeting fellow weekend […]
Chuck Billy’s Kryptonite
Asa here. Chuck Billy put me in charge of today’s post because he’s trapped in the backyard. This may come as a shock, but my supposedly fearless big brother, like all superheroes, does have one tragic flaw that renders him powerless. Chuck Billy’s kryptonite is Snakes. One slithered past him in the tall grass this […]

Wastin’ Away Again in Peanutbutterville
Asa here. Ok I admit Chuck Billy’s attempt at making a tropical oasis in our backyard wasn’t a complete failure. He did inspire me to write another song! This time I’m parodying Jimmy Buffett’s “Margaritaville,” with Peanutbutterville. I dedicate this song to my big brother’s romance with a missing bacon scented squeaky ball and his […]
Madame Sherri Forest, Chesterfield, NH
Nestled in Madame Sherri Forest in Chesterfield, New Hampshire is a beautiful stone stairway to nowhere, making for a unique dog friendly hike. Named for the eccentric Madame Antoinette Sherri, who once designed costumes for the Zigfield Follies in the 1920s, the stairway and a few ruins are all that remain of her “castle” that once […]
Tropical Oh Asa
Asa and I couldn’t help but notice that a lot of our friends are going on vacation, but here we are stuck at home. So I thought I’d try to do something special for Asa by making our backyard into a tropical oasis. Ok, to be honest, I’ve never been to a tropical oasis, so […]
A True Gentleman
Asa has it in his head that he’s a “true gentleman.” Since I have better things to do, I’m going to let Asa explain that one to you. Thank you Chuck Billy. While scrolling through photos from Mom’s recent visit to Star Island, I made a startling discovery. I’ve always known that I was named […]
Seacoast Dog Daze 4
It’s that time of year again to make a big splash at Seacoast Dog Daze 4, dock diving competition! This annual event is a family favorite for us, and gets bigger and better each year. In fact, it has changed to a new location at Maine Pet Supply (28 Levesque Drive, Eliot, ME). On July […]
