Mindful Living with a Puppy
While Chuck Billy is preoccupied barking at Squirrels, I’d like to take this opportunity to talk about something that is important to me: mindful living. In many of his posts Chuck Billy accuses me of not grasping the seriousness of the situation, and I’ve overheard Mom and Dad call me “nosey” on more than one […]

Broadview Animal Hospital and Homemakers Health Services of Rochester are teaming up to bring you the first annual Paws for a Purpose Dog Walk in Rochester, NH!

Sentimental Journey
Pardon me, but I’m feeling a bit sentimental today. While updating the website, I was struck by how much Asa has changed. Without realizing it, he has grown from a pesky little puppy to my best friend. Oh sure Asa is still annoying, goofy and downright embarrassing at times. But through it all I couldn’t […]
We’re Off to Great Places!

Of Mice and Spiders
I wanted to give you an update on our adventures with the Wolf Spider and Field Mice from last week. First off, I’d like to sincerely apologize to the Wolf Spider. Turns out it wasn’t a male, but a female…expecting a litter of pups! I am honored that she chose our poop barrel to lay […]
Sting Operation
The criminal investigation into the breaking and entering of our Honeybee hives all started innocently enough a week ago. One morning we noticed the mite boards on our beehives were pushed out. Dad thought it was just the wind, because the night before was very blustery. Mom worried the Wolf Spider had something to do […]

I’m Eighteen…Months!
Adolescent Asa is eighteen months old! To celebrate this milestone once again he is singing his version of a classic rock anthem. This time he has changed the words to “I’m Eighteen” by Alice Cooper. To be honest, I’m getting use to Asa singing the wrong words. I just wish he’d wash off that ridiculous […]
Arundel Beach, Kennebunkport, ME
Updated 2022 Arundel Beach, also known as Colony Beach, in Kennebunkport, Maine is a small and rocky dog friendly beach. However, Kennebunkport has very specific rules on when dogs are allowed and when they may be off-leash: April 1 to June 14: dogs are allowed on-leash under voice control.

A Predator Is Lurking…
Out there a fierce predator is lurking, and Mom won’t let us leave the house. This predator is known for being a “robust and agile hunter with excellent eyesight.” But he is more than a mere hunter, he is a Wolf…Spider! As you no doubt already know, Wolves come in all shapes and sizes. I’m […]
