Dogs, whether you’re visiting family and friends over the Holidays, or hosting a gathering at your home, here are some things to keep in mind so that it is a happy and worry-free celebration for everyone, especially you! First off, you’re going to be surrounded by a lot of tempting food. But you need to […]
That Time Asa Made Friends with Santa’s Reindeer
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, but do you recall that time Asa met a reindeer on Christmas Eve? I didn’t but Asa’s decision to take his reindeer squeaky friend on a walk yesterday reminded me. And of course that in turn reminded Asa of the song he wrote for the special […]
Honoring the Memory of a Beloved Pet
The Holidays can be difficult for those grieving the loss of a beloved dog, cat, or other pet. Whether your loved one crossed Rainbow Bridge this year, or years ago, we understand that the Holidays can be a droopy tail time without them. The following are a few ideas on how you can honor the […]
Santa, I’d Like to Report a Change In Status
Dear Santa, It’s me Asa. It is with deep regret that I must request you remove me from your Nice List. I’m sorry, but after an 8 year spotless record I cracked under Christmas pressure. It happened on Saturday when I headed upstairs to find a sock. Oh that wasn’t the misstep. I always carry […]
The Cats of Christmas Present
The Cats were listening to begin with. This must be understood or else nothing truly magical can come from the theory I am about to relate. Today’s post is brought to you by me, Asa, because my brother isn’t the only one with a theory about cats! Yesterday Chuck Billy shared a scientific study on […]
Proof of Christmas Cat Spy Theory
Dogs, gather round close. I need to whisper so the Cats don’t hear us. For years I’ve been warning you that Santa has enlisted Cats to spy on us and report our every misstep to him to put us on the Naughty List. They are worse than those creepy Elves. Cats sit unmoving in various locations […]
This Christmas, to Save Elves from Tears
Asa is parodying yet another Christmas song. Today’s inspiration comes from an unfortunate incident with a gift I received last Christmas. In fact, he is singing it to the tune of Wham’s “Last Christmas.” Personally, I think Asa is making much ado about nothing. The bear in question did survive…sort of! Last Christmas Santa gave […]
Remember, Honor, Teach – Wreaths Across America 2022
On Saturday following a sunrise service at West Quoddy Head Light, a convoy left a quiet corner of Downeast Maine headed to Arlington National Cemetery on an important mission to deliver tens of thousands of handmade wreaths to remember our fallen Veterans, honor those who serve, and teach the children the value of freedom. Every December since 1992, the Worcester Wreath […]
Dear Santa, A Request for a Friend
Dear Santa, It’s me, Chuck Billy. WAIT! Before you move on to your next letter, hear me out. I know we’ve had our differences in the past. I’m sorry I stole your hat once…ok, twice. But isn’t it time to let bygones be bygones? Besides, this request isn’t a gift for me. It is to […]
Deck the Dog with Boughs of Holly
Mom and Asa have been very busy festooning every inch of this house with some sort of Christmas decoration. It is funny how each of us react to decorating differently. Take my brother angel Lemmy for example. He detested change, and was always upset this time of year. Lemmy would pace around the house growling, […]
