Tremors at the Thought of What Is Lurking
Ruh! Roh! I may have been too quick to assume in yesterday’s post that the mysterious visitor was here to help us. Last evening, while on routine neighborhood patrol, Asa discovered mysterious tracks on the edge of our property. To Dad’s untrained eyes, he dismissed it as a tire track. But I, the renowned Dog […]
A Mysterious Visitor to the Rescue
Well this is awkward. While I, the renowned Dog Ufologist, was out investigating Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, extraterrestrials built a bunker underneath my paws in my own yard! Even more embarrassing, it took a visit from a Man in Black to not only make me aware of the situation, but rescue me from it. It all […]

Polite Greeting of Invisible Dogs
In Asa’s update yesterday, he neglected to mention that his goggles give him a superpower. X-ray vision? No. The ability to see in virtual reality? No. Asa’s goggles give him the superpower to make me invisible! At least that’s how I feel going places with Asa now. When we arrive all we hear is, “Look […]
Asa’s Adaptation to a New Perspective
It has been a few months since my emergency surgery in February to remove my left eye, due to Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis. Since then Chuck Billy has been really good at keeping everyone up to date medically on my condition. Today I thought I’d share my perspective on how I’m adapting to all these […]
Eye Is Status Quo
Good news! Asa saw his ophthalmologist, and his eye is…status quo! Alright, so status quo isn’t exactly a great diagnosis, the retinal hemorrhages are still there. However, the hemorrhages haven’t got bigger, nor are there more of them. Better yet with the bloodwork and other exams with Asa’s primary vet, we were able to rule […]
Lemmy’s Corner
Last week I may have vetoed the suggestions Asa came up with for Mother’s Day gifts. However, when left to his own devices, he did alright in picking out something for Mom. Asa even proved he was listening when I told him about Lemmy’s corner. When not under chairs to be as close to Mom […]
All the Comforts of Home
I’m feeling nostalgic this morning. Six years ago Asa and I attended our first New England Golden Jubilee. The event itself at Dog Mountain wasn’t our only first that weekend. It was also the first time that we stayed in a hotel. This weekend Goldens from across New England and beyond will be attending the […]
