Last month we headed to the Berkshires in western Massachusetts to pursue my interest in the paranormal. Why the Berkshires?

Last November I thought what better place to take Asa, an up and coming rock star, than Singing Beach in Manchester by the Sea, Massachusetts.

Also known as the Salisbury Rail Trail […]
Tomorrow is National Walking Day, so let’s take a stroll down a few of our favorite rail trails. Asa and I love rail trails because they tend to be flat and easy on the paws; straight so you can see everything ahead and behind you, with no surprises; and wide so that even on a […]

With so many dogs taking their families outside to enjoy the many hiking trails Maine has to offer, it is important to remember that the majority of the Dog Friendly Trails reviewed here by Living with a Golden also allow hunting.

Awards season is here, and we are excited to announce the return of the Golden Tail Wags Awards! Our sincere apologies for not presenting any awards last year. There was a bit of controversy over who should host it. But enough about us, it is time to announce the winners of the most weird and […]
