Old Eastern Marsh Trail, Salisbury, MA

Also known as the Salisbury Rail Trail […]

The Case of the Chipmunk Garden Vandal
It all began while on a routine backyard patrol shift last week. I noticed a plant in our garden had been flattened. I incorrectly assumed it was due to the previous night’s heavy rain, and did not inspect it closer, nor did I file an official report with headquarters. However, a concerned citizen, Dad, later […]

Helping NOT Helping Cleanup Crew
Mom needed to go out yesterday, and she left Dad “in-charge.” Well she should know Dad isn’t ready for such responsibilities. Thankfully though, Asa and I had everything under control. Asa even did a little extra cleaning while she was out. Sometime after she left I had an upset tummy. I know, my fault. I […]

Airtight on the Go Solution
There is a reason why Asa has earned the nickname of Sir Poops A. Lot. When out enjoying adventures he likes to answer nature’s call…a lot! Now considering most of the trails we visit are carry out, and do not have trash receptacles, this could leave us with a stinky predicament for the ride home. […]

We’ve Been Hiking on the Kennebunk Rail Trail
This weekend’s cooler temperatures were perfect for us to go for a stroll on the Kennebunk to Biddeford stretch of the Eastern Trail. Well almost perfect. It being a rail trail, Asa was inspired to write a new parody, which is now stuck in all of our heads! We’ve been hiking on the rail trail, […]

Willful Waste, Makes Woeful Want
When it comes to food, Asa is very wasteful. This morning while eating breakfast he dropped a piece of kibble. Did he immediately retrieve it? Did he eat it once his bowl was empty? No! He finished his meal, left that one piece of kibble on the floor, and walked away! What a waste! Normally, […]
