Personal Space 101
Dognabit! I can’t take it anymore!!! I’m sorry, that outburst was very unbecoming of a Golden. But once again Asa ruined a perfectly good nap by insisting on laying on my head. Recently though my good friend, Shawn, reminded me that Asa is only doing it because he loves me and wants to be with […]

I’m Kinda a Big Deal
Finally we at Living With a Golden are getting the recognition we deserve! In honor of my 100th post, Market Basket’s bakery made frosted sugar cookies in the likeness of Asa and myself.
