Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Chris’ Pets for Vets
The love of a companion animal can make a tremendous difference in the life of a veteran, especially one who is suffering from PTSD. Chris’ Pets for Vets was created through Annie’s Angels Memorial Fund to honor the memory of Christopher Journeau, who served with the US Army, 1st Battalion, 21st Infantry, and 2nd Stryker […]
Asa Did a Bad, Bad Thing
Asa’s in puppy prison. And if Mom had her way Dad would be in puppy prison too. I can’t help but feel bad for the little guy. It all started with Mom taking down the Halloween decorations and replacing them with ones for Thanksgiving. This is the first time in Asa’s short life that he’s […]
Kittery Town Forest, Kittery, ME
Enjoy dog friendly hiking while exploring the rich history of the Kittery Town Forest in Kittery, Maine. Located just minutes from the Kittery Outlet Malls, the Kittery Town Forest offers 72 acres of tranquil hiking despite running parallel to busy Route 1. Once the location of the Kittery Alms House in the nineteenth century, this […]
Second Breakfast
Dear Mom & Dad, Asa and I are usually very patient and accommodating with your silly antics and odd behaviors. However, we cannot accept you arbitrarily changing the time this past weekend. We don’t care about your lame excuse that Daylight Saving Time Ended, and therefore the clocks are turned back one hour. This means […]
Trucks & Treats
While I try to figure out how to get out of wearing my ridiculous bee costume to the Portsmouth Halloween Parade, I’ll let you read about Lemmy’s ingenious plan to get treats one year. I’ve got to hand it to him, this plan was brilliant! I just wish he explained how he got out of […]

Are you and your dog all dressed up and looking for a place to show off your Halloween costumes? Or would you like to see some really creative costumes? Well then on October 31 at 7:00 PM head on down to Portsmouth, New Hampshire for the 21st annual Portsmouth Halloween Parade! The Portsmouth Halloween Parade is […]
Halloween Horror
Gather around, my friends, and I will share with you my tale of Halloween Horror. It all begins innocently enough in a small town in southern Maine, with my family. On the surface we look normal enough. We go about our lives not bothering anyone, wave at the neighbors, and do what any other family […]
The Secret Garden, Kennebunk, ME
Nestled behind the Evergreen Cemetery in Kennebunk, Maine, is dog friendly hiking at The Secret Garden. Although the name conjures up images from Frances Hodgson Burnett’s novel about an English garden, there isn’t one at The Secret Garden Preserve in Kennebunk. What it does offer is a hidden oasis for hiking just minutes from the […]
Zombie Puppy vs Vampire Puppy
For months now I have been convinced that my little brother is a Zombie Puppy. But after watching a documentary on Vampires, I’m beginning to have second thoughts. Perhaps Asa is actually a Vampire Puppy! After careful consideration Asa seems to have more in common with Vampires than Zombies. Zombies walk with an awkward gait. […]
My Nemesis
My Nemesis, also known as the Squirrel, has crossed the line! Up until now he has somewhat respected my boundaries by lurking on the outskirts of my yard. But today he boldly ventured into my yard straight to Dad’s box garden, scurried up Mom’s sunflower, and proceeded to start eating it! All while I helplessly […]
