Every great explorer knows that you need a good navigator by your side when on an adventure. I often joke about putting Asa in charge of directions, and blame him when we inevitably get lost. However I never actually thought Asa took me serious when I said he was in charge of navigation on our […]
When it comes to food, Asa is weird. Whereas I spend hours anticipating dinner, and reminding Mom to feed us, Asa will not help at all. In fact when dinner is finally served, he will patiently wait for me to finish. And instead of begging for a delicious morsel while Mom and Dad eat, Asa […]
When Asa was a puppy, he decided that one day he would grow up to be a Dire Wolf. I’m still not sure what inspired this belief, that he was one of the fiercest prehistoric carnivores in North America. However, I was always skeptical because I didn’t see Asa exhibit any true wolflike qualities, especially […]
When Asa was a puppy, he was convinced that he’d grow up to be a Dire Wolf. No surprise, he didn’t. What is a surprise is we recently learned that a Dire Wolf may have been found in Maine not so long ago. Now I’m not referring to the Dire Wolf craze from a few […]
It is a well documented fact that the seasons dictate the way Golden Wolves live. Although Golden Wolves are not known for being migratory animals, migration is an important behavioral strategy used to enhance our survival during the hot summer months. Therefore, Asa and I have no choice but to follow our instincts and begin […]
I’m beginning to understand why dire wolves are extinct. Asa, our self-proclaimed dire wolf, has added a new quirk to his repertoire. As you may recall, last week Dr. Doug told me I needed to lose a few pounds. Asa, on the other paw, is an “ideal weight,” and does not need to watch what […]
Yesterday while Chuck Billy was complimenting my unique approach to training Mom and Dad, he neglected to mention another major milestone I’ve reached. It is clear in this photo that I’ve had another growth spurt. Slowly but surely my Dire Wolf prophecy is coming true! For those of you who may not have been following […]
The Coyotes are really getting bold this winter. Yesterday I witnessed one stalking a Deer in my yard! Worst yet, Asa was in the fenced in area oblivious to it all! Asa, how many times must I remind you that you need to be alert at all times? We had just got back from a […]
In honor of the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week, I thought I’d share with you the time Asa got mistaken for a Great White Shark. As you know from our Dog Friendly Places reviews, we love visiting Maine beaches. Well back in June 2015, we were very amused when following our visit to Wells Beach a […]
I admit I sometimes I give my little brother a hard time. I have to do it. It’s my job as a big brother. Just like it is Asa’s job as my little brother to be extra annoying. However, despite all my teasing I know I can count on Asa in an emergency. Would you […]
