School Bus Envy
School buses are awesome! It is the ultimate car ride for dogs: They are filled with kids who want to play. Kids who are easily distracted and may lose track of their delicious lunches and snacks. And unlike Mom and Dad’s cars, school buses have a runway straight down the middle for dogs to stretch […]

Wicked Smart
Recently I read an amusing article by the AKC listing Golden Retrievers as the fourth smartest dog, behind Border Collies, Poodles and German Shepherds. With all due respect, clearly their research is flawed. We are brilliant and should be ranked at the top of that list. So while I enjoy a little rest and relaxation […]

Wolf School

Kenyon Hill Preserve, South Berwick, ME

Adjacent to the more popular Mount Agamenticus in York, Kenyon Hill offers a serene hike through dense forrest, past wetlands, by the headwaters of the Ogunquit River, and up hilly terrain to enormous granite boulders.

Personal Space 101
Dognabit! I can’t take it anymore!!! I’m sorry, that outburst was very unbecoming of a Golden. But once again Asa ruined a perfectly good nap by insisting on laying on my head. Recently though my good friend, Shawn, reminded me that Asa is only doing it because he loves me and wants to be with […]
My Spirit’s Home
I’ve been told that I’m long overdue in explaining our unique names, so I guess I should finally do it. We are named for my Mom’s ancestors who lived in the 1800s on Star Island at the Isles of Shoals off the coast of New Hampshire. Lemmy was named after Lemuel Caswell. Lemuel was a […]
