Pinecone Pummeling
Leashing up Dad and taking him on neighborhood patrol may seem like an easy task. But in reality it can be quite dangerous with threats both from the ground and sky. During my eight years walking this beat I’ve been dive bombed by a Turkey Vulture, had my precious poop bag stolen by a Hawk, […]

Beware the Pirate Ghost of Appledore
The Maine coastline is dotted with islands, each with its own ghost story, pirate tale, or both! Today we set sail to Appledore Island, located 7 miles off the coast of Kittery, at the Isles of Shoals, to share one such story. Appledore Island is now a remote field station for the Shoals Marine Lab. […]

Asa’s Friends Loophole
Well played, Asa. Well played, indeed! I admit he went to extremes to get what he wanted, but I can’t help but admire his ingenuity. I had forgotten what a literal dog Asa is, so I should have been more careful with the wording of the “no new friends in the house rule.” I do […]

Our Big Apple Harvest
Not to brag, but this weekend we had our first big apple harvest! For eight years now, Dad has been planting two apple trees a year. The first two he planted died by the end of that summer due to insects. Subsequent trees, which all started out as approximately 2 to 3 feet tall saplings, […]

We’ll Make It I Swear
It’s here! The moment Mom and Asa have been waiting for! The release of Bon Jovi’s newest album, “Bon Jovi 2020!” Well, it’s sort of here. Our CD that Asa ordered hasn’t arrived yet. I know what you’re thinking, he could just purchase a digital album and not have to wait, but Asa is “old […]

There appears to be a lot of suspicious activity happening in our neighborhood. Asa, just when were you planning […]
