You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen, but do you recall the actual story of the most famous reindeer of all? Every year families gather to watch the beloved Rankin and Bass Christmas special, “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.” Now I understand Rankin and Bass took […]
Once upon a time, a Golden, who absolutely loves Christmas and watched a lot of movies and read a lot of books on the topic, visited a special house. While his older brother chatted downstairs with friends, Asa, oops I mean just a random Golden who believes in the magic of Christmas, decided to explore […]
It is that time of the year when Asa starts parodying Christmas songs. Today’s inspiration comes from an unfortunate incident with a gift I received last Christmas. In fact, he is singing it to the tune of Wham’s “Last Christmas.” Personally, I think Asa is making much ado about nothing. The toy in question did […]

Little did my family realize though, that small purchase would awaken Mom’s secret obsession with dog […]
It seems like everyone is getting dressed up for Halloween these days. Dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs like to don a costume in the spirit of the season. But would you believe spiders are wearing disguises this year too! Why back in my day, a spider was scary enough just being a spider. But […]
Gather round my friends. There’s a Halloween feel in the air today. So join me as we take a candlelight stroll down memory lane to a story I first shared in 2019. This tale, inspired by true events, is a homage to Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” (1843), and continues to haunt me to […]
Whether you’re hitting the road for the 4th of July, or staying close to home, you need to be prepared. Sadly more dogs go missing on the 4th of July than any other day of the year, and visits to animal hospitals also increase due to medical emergencies. The following are a few reminders for […]
