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 […]
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 […]
Leave it to Asa to accomplish something that Lemmy and I never did. Asa met his biological father, Daddy Spenser, at the New England Golden Jubilee. Now I’ve never had the pleasure to meet my father, Daddy Eclipse, face to face. However, I’m lucky that I can keep in touch with him through social media. […]

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. […]
Our cousin Bear is celebrating a major milestone, he turned 17 years old! That’s 119 in dog years! We’ve never met Bear in person because he lives far away in The Netherlands, but we keep in touch frequently through email and occasionally Skype. Recently Bear was nice enough to take a break from all his […]
Thank you Boba Fett for coming to our rescue and teaching us an important lesson! No not Boba Fett, the bounty hunter in The Empire Strikes Back. Boba Fett, the Golden Retriever we met at Willard Beach yesterday. He is our hero! I’m getting ahead of myself here. Let me explain how our new best […]
