Good Morning Asa
It finally all makes sense! Mom thought she named Asa after her ancestor, who was a fisherman with a dry wit. Whereas Asa misunderstood and assumed Mom named him after the Japanese word asa which translates to “morning!” No wonder Asa lives by the motto of rise and shine, and insists that we all wake […]

Human! Human! Human!
When you’re a celebrity such as Asa and myself, we’re often noticed when we go places. Take for example our recent visit to Bug Light Park, when members of a bike tour shouted compliments as they pedaled past us relaxing at the park. They said everything from a cheery, “aren’t they cute!” to the leader […]

The Story of Fawnzie: Our Daredevil Deer
The story of Fawnzie began with a misheard conversation over a loud air conditioner. Dad and I had just returned from a walk and wanted to tell Mom and Asa about our new neighbor. However, it was difficult to hear over the drone of the AC, and Mom had the classic TV show “Happy Days” […]

Awkward Dog Dad Conversation
The other day while on the way back from a hike, Dad stopped at the pharmacy to pick up more of Asa’s eyedrops. Normally we get our medications from our veterinarian’s office, but these eyedrops are prescribed by a specialist in another state. Therefore it is easier to get refills at our local human pharmacy. […]

Another Vacuum Bites the Dust
Not to brag, but I will. Another vacuum has bit the dust thanks to my fur. Oh sure it took 9 years, 2 months and 3 Golden Retrievers to defeat it, but I did. Asa: Whoa! Technically the vacuum still works. The suction is still going strong. It’s just the molded plastic ball needed to […]

Stonehouse Forest, Barrington, NH
Spoiler Alert: lions and tigers and elephants are NOT at Stonehouse Forest in Barrington, New Hampshire. Or at least that may be what the previous owner dreamed he would find when he pieced together 50 parcels of land to create his own private exotic game hunting reserve. However, apparently this “European investor” was not familiar […]
