Dog Friendly Trails
Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Mom, Leave It! Back away from the Christmas tree! We repeat, Leave It! We know that for the past week you have been insisting that Christmas is over and have been putting away the decorations. However our friend Opie mentioned that perhaps we should keep our stockings hanging in case Santa has extra treats to […]
Not to brag, but I will, when I was a puppy I showed great promise as a shoe efficiency expert. Whereas most puppies chew shoes, I spent my days searching the house for them, and then would carry them one by one to my bed, where I would match the shoes up again. This was […]
Asa here. You may think that being friends with stuffed animals is all fun and games, but there’s a lot of responsibility too. For example, yesterday my stuffie friend Moosey was feeling a bit stuffy, and wanted fresh air. I never want to disappoint my stuffies, so I was more than happy to oblige his […]
When it comes to winter clothing in Maine, LL Bean and his iconic boot usually first comes to mind. However, Leon Leonwood Bean isn’t the first Mainer to invent warm clothing for outdoor fun. There’s also Chester Greenwood, of Farmington, Maine, who in 1873 invented earmuffs! As the legend goes, Chester enjoyed ice skating, but […]
After months of not hiking to avoid the uptick in traffic on our favorite trails, we finally ventured out. We chose an overcast weekday, with slight flurries, and bone chilling temperatures to go on this adventure in the hopes that the trails wouldn’t be crowded. We also chose a location that offered over one hundred […]
It has been brought to my attention that I need to give Dad a refresher course on the “Leave It” command. Apparently Dad could not resist the delicious treats Asa and I received as a gift from a special friend, and attempted to eat one. Problem is, unlike human treats which are softer, our dog […]
Dear Mother Nature, I am writing to you in regards to delivery issues with my recent orders for snow. On Saturday, January 2, 2021 I received your shipment of slush. As you can see in your records, I requested pure snow. Not that snow and rain slush you sent me, which I might add has […]
Still looking for a New Year’s Resolution that’s fun, yet challenging? We double dog dare you to take our photography challenge! Ever since we were puppies, Mom takes a photo of us every day. Now I know what you’re thinking, “How hard is that? I already take a million photos of my dog every day.” […]
Alright, we are now officially a few days into 2021, and we couldn’t help but notice those better days everyone was talking about aren’t quite here yet. But don’t worry! They are on their way! In the meantime though while we continue to social distance, Asa and I would like to share our recommendations on […]
As we greet the new year filled with hope and uncertainty, the words of nineteenth century poet, Celia Thaxter, come to mind: “Dark skies must clear, and when the clouds are past, One Golden day redeems a weary year; Patient I listen, sure that sweet at last Will sound the voice of cheer.” May 2021 […]
