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 […]
Asa here. I can’t believe I missed my opportunity to definitively prove to Chuck Billy that I’m a Dire Wolf! Ever since I was a puppy, I knew I was more than just a ruggedly handsome Golden Retriever. I’m a Dire Wolf, the fierce prehistoric wolf of legendary fame on HBO! However, despite all my […]

That one item singlehandedly inspired his belief that he’s a wolf, with a passion for music, and a lifelong friendship with stuffed animals! Like all great superheroes, this is Asa’s […]
Scientists, what do they know? I just read an article about their discovery of “rare Sea Wolves.” Rare? Clearly these scientists need to get out more because on any given morning or evening in Maine you can find these elusive sea loving creatures enjoying the surf and sand at the beaches. In fact, if it […]
Quiet, please. Asa is sleeping in this morning after a having a rough night. He went looking for trouble, but trouble found him instead! I may have mentioned before that Asa is a bit of a night owl. So it was no surprise when in the middle of the night he went in search of […]
Thanks to an inquisitive Guinea Pig, I solved the mystery of why Dire Wolves are extinct! It all began when our new little friend, Pyewacket, emailed and asked a simple question, that had an obvious answer.
