Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Aqua Dog!
Our vacation continues! This is Asa’s first time at the lake, and as a good big brother I was prepared to teach him how to swim. When I was a little scamp Lemmy wasn’t exactly a good teacher. Ok, he was awful! Lemmy was a bit of curmudgeon and wasn’t good at explaining things, so […]

Bauneg Beg Mountain, North Berwick, ME
Off the beaten path, Bauneg Beg Mountain in North Berwick, Maine is a quiet place to hike with your dogs. Although the trail head can be difficult to find off the winding back roads of North Berwick, Bauneg Beg Mountain is definitely worth the effort. Used mostly by locals, this conservation area consists of 89 […]

“Don’t Lick My Toothbrush” and Other Traveling Tails
Mom and Dad have a few days off from work. Time to head to my Grandparents’ lake house for a vacation! But before we head out, we need to pack. Asa and I have become accustomed to certain creature comforts. Therefore when we go on vacation it is like packing for a small army. Amongst […]

Turkey Family Reunion?!
I’m beginning to realize that Asa is a literal little fellow, and that I need to be careful what I tell him. Case in point, this morning I was happily telling him that our family reunion will be happening soon. I LOVE this annual event! I get to see Momma Sage, Grandma Rue, Aunt Brie, […]

Hot Dog Reminder
Hot dogs are a great summer treat. Except when it is your dog who is hot! When enjoying a Summer outing with your dog, it is important to watch for signs of dehydration and heatstroke. Dogs do not sweat like humans. They release heat through panting and limited sweat glands between their toes. Therefore it is […]

Dog Eco-Friendly Housing
I watched a TV show today about the trend in environmentally friendly Tiny Houses. Who knew I was a trend setter?! I’ve been helping to build Tiny Houses for years! Whenever the weather permits, Mom likes to groom Asa and I outside. It’s part of her silly battle against fur tumbleweeds inside, but I digress. […]

Pampered Polar Puppy
Puppies these days have it too easy! Yesterday was a hot one here with temperatures nearing 90 degrees. Apparently Asa decided it was too inconvenient to stand in front of the AC to cool off, so he pawed at the fan until Mom turned it on for him. Seriously?! Why can’t he just content himself […]

Conspicuous Consumption
Ok, I get it. Puppies explore the world by putting everything into their mouths. But Asa is certainly pushing the limits by treating our morning walks like a puppy smorgasbord! Must he stop and sample every maple tree seed, pinecone and twig that he sees? Worst yet, why does he insist on licking worms and […]

Road Tripping Safety Tips for Dogs
Time to hit the road and enjoy all that Summer has to offer. But before you and your dog head out, remember that when you bring your dog you are committing to spending the entire time with him. Never leave a dog in a car during the summer. Even with windows opened on a 70 […]
