Happy National Cake Day
Asa’s birthday celebration week continues with National Cake Day! Oh sure on this Thanksgiving week thoughts are more focused on pies. But today we give thanks for all the delicious birthday cakes we have enjoyed over the years. We owe our brother, Angel Lemmy, a round of applause for starting our family on this obsession […]
Wickedly Good Maine Neighbor
As Wicked opens in theaters across the country today, I thought I’d take this opportunity to remind everyone about the original Wicked Witch of the West’s connection to Maine. In the 1939 movie, The Wizard of Oz, Margaret Hamilton played the iconic role of the Wicked Witch of the West. It was the sixth movie […]
The First French Settlement in Maine: Saint Croix Island
Editor’s Note: While we continue to fix some glitches here, and Asa recovers from his surgery, please enjoy this tour stop from earlier this fall in Calais from Asa’s World Tour of Maine. Next week once again the Pilgrims will be taking center stage on Thanksgiving. Now don’t get me wrong, I appreciate all they […]
Up All night, Groggy All Day
Asa here. As an up and coming rock star, I had a taste of what the lifestyle really entails, and I’m not sure I like it. Oh don’t get me wrong, I love writing my parodies! But it’s partying like a rock star that doesn’t agree with me. You see last Thursday I visited my […]
Asa’s Abscess Update
Thursday Evening Update: Asa is HOME! The surgery went well, and he is resting comfortably on his bed. We’ll be getting the biopsy results in 1 to 2 weeks. Many thanks and gratitude for all your positive thoughts and well wishes for our brave boy! It’s me, Asa. You may recall back in August I […]
Asa’s Official UAPP Report
Hello, Dog Ufologist Report Line? First time caller, long time listener. I’d like to report a UAPP. Chuck Billy: Asa, I’m impressed you’re using the official term used by the military, NASA, and other government agencies for UFOs of UAP – Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, but you have an extra “P.” Asa: Oh! It’s not a […]
Veterans’ Companion and Service Dog Programs
Today is Veterans Day, a time to honor and thank those who have served in the military for their sacrifices and dedication. Yet for many the battle may continue long after their service to our country. Every day 22 Veterans take their own lives in the United States. These Veterans served our country and then […]
Right Place, Wrong Time, Belgrade, Maine
After visiting Vienna, Asa’s World Tour of Maine next rolled into nearby Belgrade. First settled in 1774, it was incorporated as Belgrade in 1796, named after the largest city in Serbia, and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe and the world. However, exactly why that name was chosen for this Maine town remains a mystery […]
Vienna, Maine Waits for You
As Billy Joel once sang, “When will you realize Vienna waits for you?” Well wait no longer! This week’s stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine takes us to Vienna! Settled in 1786, and incorporated in 1802, Vienna, Maine is named for the capital of Austria. Why that name was chosen by Daniel Morrill, who […]
Careless Kibble: A Time Change Song
Well once again Daylight Saving Time has come to an end, leaving dogs across the country in a state of confusion. We may have gained an hour by turning the clocks back, but our meals are now served late. Why do humans insist on changing dinnertime? Don’t they know that Golden Retrievers run on Golden […]
