It all began one quiet evening with a single moth. No big deal, right? We’ve had moths get inside the house before. One slap and the problem was solved. Little did we realize as we went to bed that night, a large flock of menacing moths were gathering on just the other side of our […]
Dear Customer Service, Recently my Dad brought his car in for repairs. Although the technicians did an awesome job keeping Dad’s 14 year old car on the road, I have one complaint. Did they really need to douse it in air freshener? I’m not talking about a little spritz to freshen it up. Based on […]
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 […]
Fool me once, shame on Deer. Fool me twice, shame on me. I can’t believe I fell for the Deer’s tricks again! For the past few years, I’ve been in an epic battle with the Deer in my neighborhood. Every spring these delinquents come sauntering into MY yard like they own the place, and proceed […]
Because I’m feeling nostalgic today, not to mention want to embarrass my little brother, I thought I’d share with you this post from 2016 when Asa turned 18 months old. Even as a puppy he dreamed of being a rock star. To celebrate the milestone of being 18 months, he changed the words to “I’m […]
All that snow yesterday got me nostalgic about Asa’s first winter. In 2015 we received a record amount of snow, in fact it literally snowed every day for the first 16 days he lived with us! I was convinced that Mom and Dad accidentally brought home a polar bear instead of a puppy. But I […]
Chuck Billy: Way to go, brother. Asa: Oh you’re not blaming this one on me! You’re equally to blame! Chuck Billy: Me? Oh no, this was all your idea! Asa: But you started it! Chuck Billy: Whatever. You finished it, alright. Asa: So now what are you going to do about it? Chuck Billy: Me?! […]
Ssshh, I’m hiding from Mom as she gets our ridiculous Halloween costumes ready for a weekend filled with embarassing photos, culminating in being publicly humiliated at the Portsmouth Halloween Parade! So while I hide, please enjoy my frightening version of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven. Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, this is […]
I think we all could use a smile this morning. So I’m going to do something uncharacteristic of me. I’m letting Asa pick from the archives his favorite song parody to share with you today. It comes with little surprise that he chose a song he is often heard singing on our daily walks. Ok, […]
