The Winged Intruder
As you know, I take my job as guard dog very serious. Not to brag, but I have protected my family from Squirrels, Deer, and the occasional UPS delivery guy. However, never before has anyone brazenly broke into my home like the winged intruder who tormented my family yesterday! Oh sure people from away think […]
Giant’s Stairs, Harpswell, ME
Giant’s Stairs in Harpswell is a dog friendly scenic walk along Maine’s rocky coast. At less than a mile, this cliff walk skirts the rugged coastline on a footpath through fragrant beach roses with breathtaking views of Casco Bay, and scenic overlooks perfect for watching the crashing surf and wildlife. If you’re feeling adventurous, the […]
One Romantic Evening
At times Asa may steal my thunder. However together we make a formidable team that the ladies can’t resist. On Saturday we were enjoying a quiet evening in the historic gardens at Hamilton House, when a group of human teenagers stumbled upon us. Instantly the girls surrounded us, cooing with delight as they petted Asa […]
The Invisible Dog
For over two years now I’ve been invisible. Every time I venture out with Asa, people surround him while ignoring me. Initially I thought once Asa grew out of his floppy fluffy puppy stage, people would notice me again. But alas, he’s full-grown and people still don’t instantly acknowledge my presence. This led me to […]

Mom totally disregarded our […]

And So It Begins
And so it begins, dogs’ least favorite holiday, the 4th of July. It’s not even July yet, and the fireworks have already started! Seriously, fireworks on July 4th are bad enough. Why extend my torture by randomly shooting them off days ahead of schedule? As far as I can tell no other holiday is celebrated […]
Finding Lost Dog in Maine
More dogs go missing on the 4th of July than on any other day of the year. Dogs do not enjoy fireworks, nor do they understand it is a celebration. While most dog owners are vigilant at home protecting their dogs from getting lost, it is easy for even the most dedicated helicopter dog parents […]
Maine’s Siren Song
In Greek mythology the Sirens were dangerous creatures, who lured sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast. However, did you know Maine has it’s own version of the Sirens, leading innocent Dogs to fall off rocky cliffs? Recently during our hike at the Devil’s Back Trail in Harpswell, my […]
