Our Anchor in the Storm, Our North Star, Our Chuck Billy
Thirteen years ago on this date, Angel Chuck Billy joined our family. Since his passing, we’ve often referred to him as our anchor in the storm and our North Star always guiding us onward. In the following post, written by Chuck Billy in 2022, he truly explains what we mean by this. So on his […]
Case of the Unidentified Friend Outside
If Angel Chuck Billy taught me anything, it was that a UFO (Unidentified Friend Outside) investigation could happen at any time and in any place! Such was the case on two recent outings that on the surface seemed unrelated, but soon held a deeper connection. A connection to Bigfoot! Over the years Angel Chuck Billy […]
Royal Taste Tester Application
The ruler of our little kingdom, Dad, has proclaimed he has food poisoning, and gave the royal decree that he will never eat again! Mom thinks he just has the flu. But yesterday she didn’t see him eat those weird smelling leftovers that Dad found in the back of the refrigerator. As the Court Jester, […]
A Boot Time to Head Out on Tour
Now that spring has officially arrived, it is time for me to start planning the next leg of my Asa’s World Tour of Maine! This being my third year exploring places in Maine named after countries or world famous cities, I thought I should change things up a bit to add excitement. Maybe even draw […]
Goodbye Winter: A Golden’s Video Diary
Today, March 20, 2025, is the official first day of spring! To say goodbye to what has been the snowiest winters we’ve had in a long time, I’d like to share this video made by Angel Chuck Billy in 2015. Back in the early days of Living with a Golden, he insisted on being our […]
Don’t Pet Him, Raised by Wolves
As all Golden Retrievers know, with great cuteness comes great responsibility. And letting people pet and admire us is one of those responsibilities. But it also gets daunting, especially if I just want to relax and enjoy family time. Don’t get me wrong, I love making new friends! But all that petting can really slow me […]
L.L. Bean: The Man, The Boot, The Store
To celebrate the state of Maine’s 205th Birthday, on Saturday we headed to an institution that has become synonymous with the state – L.L. Bean! Today L.L. Bean is known for its outdoor clothing and sporting equipment. Its catalogs are mailed around the world, there are stores across the country, and its flagship store in […]
Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve
I would’ve written a better post for today, but I’m tired from being awake at 3:00 AM to watch the lunar eclipse. I could’ve missed the total eclipse because moments before the clouds rolled in and covered it, but left in time for the big reveal. I should’ve paid more attention to the eclipse, but […]
Evolution of Our Shenanigans
Top o’ the morning to you! I’ve been a wild rover for many a year, and I’ve spent all my money on shamrocks and hats. Despite Chuck O’Billy saying “No, nay never no more!” Alright, enough with trying to sing today’s post on the evolution of our St. Patrick’s Day shenanigans to the tune of […]
Three Month Update and New Eclipse Theory
Hi Chuck Billy! It’s me, Asa! But of course you probably already knew that. Thanks for getting that day pass from Rainbow Bridge so you could stay with me when they scanned my belly. I know you were really there to see Dr. Doug. You always did love visits with him. But it sure made […]
