Dog Friendly Trails
Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Sidelined from Hiking
This past weekend we had the prefect conditions for a dog friendly winter hike: fresh packed snow, no ice, and temperatures hovering between the mid-40s to 50s. But did we go out and enjoy all that a Maine winter wonderland has to offer? Nope! And it’s all Asa’s fault! My little brother is on forced […]
Abraham Lincoln: Devoted Dog Owner and Cat Person
Mom and Dad are known for leaving elaborate directions for our dog sitters. However, nothing compares to Abraham Lincoln who not only left specific instructions, he gave his dog sitters a sofa for the comfort of his for his beloved pup! In honor of Presidents’ Day, I’d like to share with you the story of […]
Bear’s Random Act of Kindness
Thank you Bear for coming to Mom’s rescue! No, not my cousin Bear, but my new neighborhood Bear. We’d like to thank our new neighbor Bear and his Dad for their random act of kindness on Monday.

An Embarrassment of Riches
Dear Mother Nature, First off I’d like to thank you for the abundance of snow you gave us. Thanks to your generosity, in less than a week you gave us approximately 3 feet of snow here in Maine, with more on the way today. We certainly have an embarrassment of riches, or in this case snow. […]
Dreaming of Summer in Maine
Ok, so it was just a month ago I was growling about the mild winter and that there wasn’t any snow for my winter hikes. Now ironically there was too much snow this past weekend for us to go on a hike. Adding insult to injury, with temperatures hovering in the teens it was too […]
Dad’s Mysterious Disappearance
Ok, I admit it. I messed up, and accidentally lost track of Dad’s whereabouts. I know what you’re thinking. As pack leader it is my job to know where my pack members are at all times. But in my defense, I had a lot going on this weekend with the lunar eclipse UFO threat, not […]
Celestial Triple Threat
Attention Dog Ufologists! Keep your eyes to the sky because tonight is a celestial triple threat! Tonight is the Snow Full Moon, but that will be overshadowed by a lunar eclipse. While the Moon is shaded in darkness, Comet 45P will be buzzing past the Earth. Making it the perfect storm for UFOs to sneak into […]

Neither Snow Nor Sleet Nor Frosty Paws
Neither snow nor sleet nor frosty paws will prevent us from our appointed rounds! On snowy days neighborhood patrol takes on even greater importance for Asa and myself. While most humans are cozy and warm in their homes, we are out there making sure all is safe in our neighborhood. We scan the fields for […]
