Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Asa has been waiting for this day all year – National Tell a Joke Day! Now although joke is singular, he couldn’t limited himself to just one. Therefore I feel obligated to warn you that the following blog post by Asa will contain bad puns, dad jokes, and yes even a knock knock joke. Consider […]
Carthage, Maine is the eighth stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine! Drawn here by the dense forests and the Webb River, this area was first settled in 1812 and incorporated in 1826. Named after Carthage, the ancient Mediterranean city in what is today Tunisia in North Africa, this town had a population of 507 in 1880, and in the […]
I was heckled by a hen! While trying to do a good deed, no less! Thankfully Asa was at home with Mom, because he would have made light of this serious situation with a series of jokes. Yesterday while on a routine neighborhood patrol, I noticed a chicken by the side of the road. Now […]

Today is National Spoil Your Dog Day. Asa and I are very fortunate that we have everything we could ever want. Our bowls are full, we have more toys than we know what to do with, and we have a family that adores us, who can be with us as much as we want. Sadly, […]

In 1799 it was incorporated as the town of Thompsonborough, in honor of a large land owner in the area. […]

Asa and I have visited quite a few lighthouses in our travels around Maine, and these are just a few of our favorites. Please click on the highlighted name for more information on how you can also visit these places to […]
Tomorrow is National Work Like a Dog Day. This day was created to honor hard working dogs, for our strong work ethic and sense of duty. So to celebrate, I thought I’d remind everyone of my hard work as Chief Executive Dog (CED), keeping my office running smoothly. Oh sure it may look like being […]
