Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Winter Hikes: Orris Falls, South Berwick, ME
One of our favorite places for a dog friendly winter hike is Orris Falls in South Berwick, Maine. Following an abandoned colonial road, the Orris Falls network of trails offers a variety of hiking options. During the winter we prefer to hike the Big Bump trail which leads away from the falls and wetlands area, […]
Asa’s Homecoming
Tuesday marks the anniversary of when Asa came home to live with us! I can still remember that day as if it were yesterday. We got up extra early that morning, and Dad took me for a walk while Mom did one last sweep puppy proofing the house. We all anxiously watched the weather forecast […]

In honor of the Presidential Inauguration, I would like to pay tribute to the important role of First Dog of the United States.

Dire Wolf Prophecy Fulfilled
You may recall back in the fall Asa made some sort of connection between shedding his fur and growing into a Dire Wolf. At the time we all laughed, petted him on the head, and called him a silly puppy! Well just a few months later his prediction may actually be coming true! According to […]
Winter Hikes: Eastern Trail, Scarborough, ME
The Scarborough section of the Eastern Trail is a popular dog friendly winter hike, especially for snowshoers and cross-country skiers…when there is snow! Due to the unusually mild temperatures last week, on Sunday the trails were bare with just a few icy sections. However that made for an easy scenic walk, complete with bird watching […]
Coyote Hide and Seek
The Coyote brothers are up to their old tricks again. For months they have been trespassing into my territory. It all started on Thanksgiving when we saw one of the Coyote brothers headed across the field towards Inky’s house. He was no doubt pretending to be a distant relative in search of a family meal. […]
Beware of Low Flying Turkey
I can’t believe what just happened! So there we were headed outside for a quick restroom break. As usual Mom opened the door and we came bursting out. While running to my favorite spot, I glanced over and noticed a lone Wild Turkey on the other side of the fence. No big deal. There’s always […]

My Brother’s a Genius…Sometimes
My brother is a genius…sometimes. Yesterday was not one of those days. It’s been bitter cold here the past few days, so going outside to play hasn’t been an option. Not to mention our backyard has turned into an ice rink. So unless we learn how to skate, fetch just isn’t a good idea. However […]
