Asa’s First 100 Days
To commemorate Asa’s first 100 days living with us, I would like to sit down with my little brother for a performance review. How do you see your role in this family? Well, I have many different roles. I am the Family Ambassador when we are out in public, because people can’t resist my cuteness. […]

Mr. Teeth is a Genius
I have to admit I’m very impressed with how Asa used losing his puppy teeth to his advantage. It all started one day when we were out in the yard. Mom heard him making a grinding noise and thought that he had a rock in his mouth. But upon hearing the “Drop It” command, Asa […]

Asa, Criminal Mastermind
Since Asa’s arrival home I have considered our relationship as I am the teacher and he is the student. But it dawned on me that I could learn a thing or two from Asa. Case in point, stealing socks. I LOVE socks! Who can resist the way they smell, how tasty they are to chew […]

Dog ID Tags
In honor of National Pet ID Week, it’s a good time to discuss what information is on your dog’s ID tag. With Lemmy we practically had a book written on his first tag. This included his name, a phone number, our street address, and even the line “I need medicine please.” In order to fit […]

Empower Yourself While Saving the Planet
