Dog Friendly Trails
Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Trial By Fairy
As a big brother, I laugh when Asa gets into predicaments. Well I couldn’t believe my good fortune on a recent hike at Mackworth Island, thanks to some irate Fairies and an innocent mistake. Asa often carries a walking stick in his mouth during our hikes, so I didn’t think twice when he helped himself to […]
Strut Your Mutt 2016
Grab your leashes and head to Mother’s Beach in Kennebunk, Maine this Sunday, September 11, for the 22nd annual Strut Your Mutt to benefit the Animal Welfare Society’s Sadie Fund. Named for a special dog, who had to be surrendered because her family could not afford her medical costs, the Sadie Fund helps to pay […]
Irreplaceable
On Friday I thought I was so clever to arrange for a substitute guard dog. However after a weekend of tail wagging fun exploring new places, I returned to discover the unfortunate consequences of my reckless behavior. Due to a series of unforeseen events I learned an important lesson – I’m irreplaceable! I never should […]
Mackworth Island, Falmouth, ME
Enjoy a tranquil dog friendly walk surrounded by the ocean and fairy houses at Mackworth Island in Falmouth, Maine. Located just minutes away from Portland, Mackworth Island is a scenic 1.5 mile walk around the perimeter of the island, with picturesque views of Casco Bay and its many islands. Dogs are allowed on-leash on both […]
Goofy Genius
As the lazy days of summer come to a close, I look forward to another school year teaching my little brother everything I know. And boy does Asa need it! Attached is one of my favorite videos of my goofy little brother, recorded in May 2015. In many ways Asa has come a long way […]
Guard Dog on Duty
I’ve been working really hard all summer. Dognabit! It’s time I take a day off! But being a responsible dog, I can’t completely abandon my duties. That’s why I have arranged to have a substitute guard dog protect my home. Introducing Chuck Asa! Sssshhhh, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Chuck […]
Exeter UFO Festival
Pssst. Chuck Billy here. Normally Mom will recommend a dog friendly event on Thursdays. But I deleted her post for today because I want to tell you about a UFO lecture series that dogs are NOT allowed to attend. Conspiracy? You bet! But if you’re a human…or even an Alien…I recommend the Exeter UFO Festival […]
Aliens Abduct Summer
I can’t help but notice that my summer flew by much too quickly. Perhaps yours did too? Well after careful research of photographic evidence I can definitively say: Aliens Abducted Summer! It is the only logical explanation of why there simply wasn’t enough time to do all of my well thought out plans that […]
Tyler Brook, Kennebunkport, ME
Extend your dog friendly hike at the Emmons Preservation in Kennebunkport, Maine, by visiting the adjacent Tyler Brook Preserve. The Tyler Brook Preserve is connected to the Emmons Preserve by way of the Batson River Trail. This 1.3 mile trail winds its way through dense forest, open meadows, and wetlands. We hiked Tyler Brook during […]
Beware of Free Range Chickens
As you probably guessed, Asa and I spend a lot of time hiking in the woods. Up until now, we thought we pretty much knew what to expect. That is until we saw this sign, “Free-Range Chickens. Please Leash Dogs.” Say what?! We were in the middle of the woods! Who were these wild chickens? […]
