Dog Friendly Trails
Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Circle the Wagons
It’s time to circle the wagons, our homestead is in danger! I knew as soon as Mom let us out that something was different. I immediately recognized the scent in the air, and one quick survey of the wood line confirmed my suspicions – there was a coyote in my territory! Now I’ve seen coyotes […]

First Aid Kits for Dogs – Part 3
Scissors are an essential part of my kit and I went with something not normally considered “First Aid” shears. The scissors I choose are actually for grooming but I found they work just fine for my first aid needs – so I am getting double duty out of them. Medical scissors are recognized for their […]

Walking in a Wooded Wonderland
With the temperature finally rising above freezing, and the snow packed down from snowmobiles, it was time to hit the trails for Asa’s first walk in the woods!

Asa, Dire Wolf
Hello, Asa here. I’ve been living here for a little over a month now, and would like to take a moment to clear up a few misconceptions. First off, don’t be fooled by my fuzzy cute appearance. Just because I currently weigh in at just under 30 lbs., including the fluff factor, in these veins […]

Thrill of the KILL!
I have to give Mom and Dad credit. They’ve been doing a great job teaching Asa the fundamentals of sit, stay, come, and down. But they aren’t teaching him the most important skill of all – hunting! Clearly they just take for granted my hard work day in and day out protecting them from squeaky […]

First Aid Kits for Dogs – Part 2
After getting the right medical bag the first thing I did was fill it with basic medical supplies. These are mainly for me but some may be used on my dogs if necessary. The amount of each to have all depends on where you plan to go. If you will always be a short ride […]

Me & My Shadow
Ok, I admit it, I’m awesome! Who could resist wanting to follow my every move? So for this reason I’m trying to be patient with Asa. But I believe we are long overdue for a conversation on personal space. Heck, I can’t even chew my toys without Asa nuzzling in for a closer look at […]

First Aid Kits for Dogs – Part 1
Step – 1: Finding a Medical Bag for Hiking For me, building a first aid kit for both my dogs and myself started with the search for a good quality “molle type” medical bag. I got the idea from a friend who is also a K-9 handler and carries such a kit. I liked this style […]

Winter Beach Romp
Yesterday hit 32 degrees! So what do Mainers do to celebrate? We head to the beach of course! Mom and Dad grabbed their Yaktrax ice cleats, I slapped on my GoPro Hero, and we headed off to Fort Foster in Kittery, Maine! Thanks to dedicated cross country skiers and snowshoers, there were miles of packed snow […]
