Dog Friendly Trails
Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
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!

The Little Courtesies of Daily Life
For months now I’ve been foolishly deluded into thinking I was invisible. Every time I ventured out with Asa, people would surround him while ignoring me.

Porcupine, Moose & Bear – Oh My!
Summer is officially here as evident in the tourists seen around our neighborhood. It all started with a porcupine taking up residence in our brush pile.

The festivities begin with Mom making a trash bag piñata using the kitchen garbage. Asa and I fill with anticipation as she lifts that wonderful smelling bag out […]
