I can’t believe I got outsmarted by Asa! As you know Asa and I have had different opinions on which friends are allowed to play inside our house. In recent months he has invited mice, various bugs, and even attempted to sneak in chipmunks and a snake! To get the point across that they are […]
Asa here. The other day I was out on neighborhood patrol, when I came upon a new best friend who needed help. Mr. Snake was curled up in the middle of the road trying to get warm on that chilly afternoon. Clearly his mommy never warned him about the dangers of playing in the street. […]
Move over werewolves, vampires, ginormous spiders, and creepy cats, it’s time that Maine’s monster of the ocean deep gets featured in its own horror movie! I’m talking about none other than the lobster! Now before you go licking your chops dreaming of this Maine delicacy, you may have second thoughts after reading these shell shocking […]
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 […]
Ruh! Roh! Chuck Billy is going to be mad that I messed up again. Oh hi, it’s me, Asa. I’m still in charge of neighborhood watch while Chuck Billy’s paw heals. After a small incident earlier in the week, I thought I finally got a hang of this being in charge stuff. Yet once again […]
To those of you who suggested that Asa make friends with critters bigger than bugs, he listened. After months of not being able to do laundry, Mom headed down to the basement and was greeted by a mouse. Now clearly this mouse was just as surprised to see Mom, as she was to see her, […]
Social distancing can be difficult, especially when you’re an overly friendly Golden Retriever like Asa. However, I never realized what extremes Asa would go through to make new friends, while missing his old ones. It all began earlier this summer when Asa rolled on an anthill in an attempt to invite his little friends inside […]
I’m not one to complain about my neighbors. Live and let live, right? But Mr. Hawk has truly become annoying. You may recall that earlier this summer while flying overhead he almost dropped his takeout dinner on Mom. Since then not only has he clumsily littered our driveway with more mice, he’s become very vocal. […]
Earlier this week I shared with you how Asa unwittingly became an ant trap. I’m pleased to report that all ants have been removed from his fur and our house. However, as our friend Sheba reminded us, this isn’t the first time our home has been infiltrated by bugs. Perhaps Asa was responsible for this […]
It was the perfect summer afternoon. I was laying in the grass squeaking my ball, and Mom was talking on the phone with Grandma while absentmindedly petting Asa. That’s when Mom felt a tickle on her hand and noticed an ant. “No big deal,” she thought, “after all we’re outside.” After brushing the ant off […]
