Dog Friendly Trails
Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Who’s a Good Boy?
Who’s a good boy? ME! I’m a good boy! This morning Asa was determined to lunge at every stick, leaf and pinecone along our walking route. As you can well imagine that quickly became annoying for Dad and me. So there I was bracing myself for the next inevitable lunge, when next thing I know […]

Dogs and Taxes
You may think my life is all beach romps, trail hikes, and treats. However, I also have to manage my finances as well. Thankfully, I don’t have to tackle the daunting process of preparing my taxes. Instead, I visit my friend Precious. As a puppy, I prepared my own tax returns. But it didn’t take […]

Hanging with Dr. Doug
While Chuck Billy is off pouting because he is jealous, let me tell you about my awesome morning at the veterinarian’s office! Would you believe it has been a whole year since I’ve been there? This place is awesome! Just the smells coming from doormat alone is enough to make me giddy. One whiff and […]
Dog Pick Up Lines
Adolescent Asa has reached an all time low. He somehow got a hold of an old article from GQ on pick up lines, and was inspired to try out some of his own. How embarrassing! Would you believe he actually thought these pick up lines would impress girls? Are your paws tired? Because you’ve been […]

These Are The Times
These are the times that try dogs’ souls – Mud Season. Now don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Mud Season! Nothing compares to the scent of freshly made mud from melting snow, and rolling in it brings a sense of pleasure that is beyond description. However, Mom and Dad don’t share these sentiments, and Mud […]

Gooch’s Beach in Kennebunk, Maine is a good dog friendly beach during the off seasons of spring and fall. From Labor Day through June 15 dogs are allowed on Gooch’s Beach, off leash, at any time, as long as they are under voice control and the owner is carrying a leash. However, from June 15 […]
The Legend of Leap Day
It isn’t an urban myth! Leap Day does exist! The day the Four Paws on the Floor Rule does not apply! Oh sure I have foggy memories of it when it last occurred in 2012. But I was still in the whelping box and focused on mastering bigger issues like walking on my wobbly legs. […]
