We Got Sprayed!
We got sprayed! Oh it is awful! We’ll never get that smell out! What do you mean skunks are bad, use tomato juice? It wasn’t a skunk. It was a cat! What?! No! It wasn’t us that got sprayed! It was Dad’s car! Seriously, did you really think we’d let a cat spray us? Dad […]

Bee Prepared
It is my responsibility to homeschool my little brother, and I have to admit I’ve been terribly negligent in his education in recent months. Luckily for me though, our pet Honeybees are a perfect learning opportunity! Lesson One: Nutrition! After enjoying a big bowl of kibble, Asa asked what do our Bees eat. Prepared for just […]

Red Light/Green Light with Foxy Mama
We played with Foxy Mama this morning! There we were plodding along on neighborhood patrol when standing in the road, blocking our way home, was Foxy Mama. She looked almost as surprised by us, as we were to see her. At first Asa mistook her for a cat, and wanted to play with her. But […]

Golden Paradise on Earth
A year ago I heard rumors about a place where Golden Retrievers of all ages could run and play at an event dedicated to them. I thought for sure it was an urban legend. Something parents tell their dogs to make them behave. As time progressed I was confident it was only a dream. How […]

Asa’s World of Wonder

But every once in awhile Asa reminds me that the world is still filled with awe and wonder. Over the winter Dad grew a beard, but with summer just around the corner it was time to […]
