Far too many friends crossed Rainbow Bridge this year. Some lived very long lives, while others left us way too soon. Others taught us grace and dignity while facing serious illnesses, and some left us so quickly we didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye. Many we knew personally and enjoyed our time together, […]
It is with a heavy heart that I share my sweet Dutch cousin, Bear, has crossed Rainbow Bridge just two months shy of his 18th birthday. Although I never met Bear nose to nose because he lived in The Netherlands, I considered him to be a dear friend, who was only an email away. Bear […]
The goal for our vacation was to enjoy the “quiet side” of Acadia National Park, exploring trails off the beaten path away from the more popular attractions. However, it didn’t take long for us to notice no matter how remote the trail, solitary hikers would find us, and inevitably stop to admire Asa and myself. […]
Chuck Billy and Maddie sitting under a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! Chuck Billy is all flustered about a girl! As we all know, my big brother prides himself on being a big tough guy. He never hesitates to bark at threats both real and imagined. Well after visiting Grandma, it is pretty obvious he’s met his match […]

We just witnessed a murder and an innocent dog framed for it! What do we do?! Oh sure I boast about keeping our neighborhood safe while on patrol. But I never imagined a murder could happen on our quiet street, much less right outside our window! Oh the dogmanity! Ok, I’ve got to calm down […]
Thank you Bear for coming to Mom’s rescue! No, not my cousin Bear, but my new neighborhood Bear. We’d like to thank our new neighbor Bear and his Dad for their random act of kindness on Monday. As you know our Dad mysteriously disappeared during the big Maine Blizzard, leaving Mom with the formidable task […]
Dear Mother Nature, First off I’d like to thank you for the abundance of snow you gave us. Thanks to your generosity, in less than a week you gave us approximately 3 feet of snow here in Maine, with more on the way today. We certainly have an embarrassment of riches, or in this case snow. […]
