The Intruder: Pick Your Own Ending
Editor’s Note: The following are two accounts of the same event. We’ll leave it up to the reader to decide where the truth lies… Chuck Billy: As soon as I entered the garage my nose alerted me that something wasn’t right. I immediately went to work sniffing the area trying to pinpoint the source. A […]

Dire Wolf to the Rescue!
Asa saved my life! But don’t tell him that! Yesterday I was enjoying the New Hampshire SPCA’s Paws Walk, an event I look forward to attending each year.

Freedom’s Door Flung Open
It finally happened! The door of freedom flung open and beckoned us. Well it didn’t actually open on its own. While barking good morning to the kids at the bus stop, Asa jumped on the gate. That’s when it happened. The wood splintered, the latch flew off, and the gate swung open! We both stood […]

Short Sands Beach, York, ME
In terms of dog friendly beaches in Maine, Short Sands Beach in York has both positive and negative attributes. On the plus side dogs are allowed to run off leash under voice control between Sunrise and 8:00 AM during the summer season. But the catch is they must be 10 feet away from other visitors, […]

Dire Wolf Update
A few months ago Asa proclaimed he would grow up to be a Dire Wolf. Today he would like to update you on his progress: Asa: I’m not deaf and can hear what you’re saying about me. “Oh he’s so fluffy!” “Look at the Cotton Ball.” Or worst yet, “I bet he’s a Little Cuddle […]

Vengeance Is Mine!
Nooooo!!! The most horrific event happened in my neighborhood this morning! Our town’s Department of Public Works took away my branches! I was helpless to intervene while the maintenance workers slowly moved along our street inserting the fallen branches into their wood chipper. If only I had thumbs so I could open the door to […]
