Dog Friendly Trails
Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Winter is a good time to keep track of what’s going on in my neighborhood. Sure I’m out every day patrolling the streets, but I can’t go for walks 24/7, especially at night. Therefore I rely on my trusted home security system of snow, to keep an eye on who is coming and going in […]
Welcome to the 5th Annual Golden Tail Wags Awards, where we celebrate the weird and wonderful things we saw while exploring Dog Friendly Places. However, unlike other award shows where you get celebrity hosts, you get us, Chuck Billy and Asa, your intrepid explorers with active imaginations! Rest assured that these awards are not your […]
Now I may have mentioned in the past that Dad considers himself to be like MacGyver. He is a big fan of the ’80s television show, in which using ordinary items MacGyver can solve any problem. But unlike MacGyver, Dad doesn’t often find himself in situations where these skills are needed. That is until while […]
An elephant may never forget, but Asa sure does! Case in point, while taking the bed out from my crate to be washed, Mom discovered Asa’s squished elephant underneath it. We were all surprised to find him there, but none more surprised than Asa. For you see he had tucked him under the bed for […]
February 3rd is National Golden Retriever Day! To celebrate I’d like to share some fun facts about our favorite breed. The first Golden Retrievers were bred in 1868 by Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks, also known as Lord Tweedmouth, at his Scottish Highlands estate of Guisachan.

As I continue to wrap my mind around the fact that Asa built a rocket ship in my living room, I’d like to take a moment to salute the brave dogs who were among the first astronauts sent into space. Before humans could go into orbit, both the Soviet Union and the United States used […]
What do give a renowned Dog Ufologist for his 10th Birthday? His very own rocket, of course! To celebrate Chuck Billy’s birthday, I hosted an out of this world birthday that was a real blast! I even made him his own rocket ship! Ok, so truth be told, I couldn’t afford a ride for him […]
It’s been a fun week strolling down memory lane as I countdown to my big 10th birthday celebration on Sunday. While Asa is busy going over the final preparations for my big “surprise” party, I thought I’d remind him how thoughtful Lemmy was when he hosted my first birthday in 2012. As opposed to how […]
It is a well known fact that my motto is “Fetch Is Life!” However, you may be surprised to learn that despite being a natural athlete and a retriever, I needed to be taught how to play my favorite game. Spoiler Alert: It wasn’t Lemmy who taught me. Lemmy took a different approach and enjoyed […]
