Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Animal Selfie Rights
This is an outrage! I can’t believe Naruto lost his lawsuit! Please excuse my outburst. For those not familiar with Naruto’s legal battle, let me explain. While taking photos of endangered monkeys in Indonesia, wildlife photographer David J. Slater left his camera unattended. Feeling that Slater was not truly capturing his good side, one of the […]

Dear Customer Service
Dear Customer Service, I recently purchased your dictation software to use with my blog, Living with a Golden. Although I’m grateful for my Mom’s efforts to type my thoughts, I do not appreciate her editorial comments. But I digress. The reason for this letter is that I am dissatisfied with your lack of Dog as […]
Winter Hikes: Fort Foster, Kittery, ME
One of our favorite dog friendly places to visit year round is Fort Foster in Kittery, Maine. A great summer destination, this park becomes a must go to destination in the winter to cure cabin fever with open spaces to romp, trails to explore, and fellow dogs to meet and greet. A popular destination for […]
Happy Anniversary Living with a Golden!
This week marks the one year anniversary of my website, Living with a Golden! Hard to believe it was just a year ago that I introduced myself to the world. I wasn’t even three years old yet! I began my blog as a way to chronicle my life with my new little brother, Asa, hence […]
UFO Presidential Agenda
To be honest I haven’t been following the Presidential campaign. Until dogs are granted the right to vote, I really have no interest in politics. But that all changed recently when I read that Hillary Clinton believes “Aliens may have visited us already.” This changes everything! It was one thing for Josh Groban to tweet […]
Resolution in Action
Is your New Year’s Resolution to get more exercise, learn new things, and give back to your community? Then volunteer at your local animal shelter! The daily operation of animal shelters require a lot of work, and they depend heavily on volunteers to help care for the dogs, cats, and small animals in need of […]
No Scrunching, No Munching
Asa is experiencing another rite of passage. He received his first big boy bed for his crate! That is an important milestone for a dog. One that he’ll never forget. It means that Mom and Dad trust him not to have accidents and that he is mature enough to not play with it, or worse […]

Snow has finally arrived in Maine and with it comes opportunities for dog friendly winter hiking. But before heading out there are precautions to take so that both you and your dog can have a great adventure. Snow clumping up on paws tends to be the biggest issue for dogs when hiking, and licking will […]
Be More Dog
I overheard Mom talking with a friend about their New Year’s Resolutions. They talked about changes to their diet, getting more exercise, and being more positive in the year ahead. Well those are all admirable goals, but their approach to it is all wrong. They don’t need to follow new diet trends, buy a gym […]
