After taking 113,476 photos, Mom’s camera broke! This camera was practically an appendage. If it wasn’t in Mom’s hand, it was nearby, usually in her right front pocket. Mom by no means considers herself a photographer. Instead, she fancies herself our family’s historian, documenting good times and sad, ordinary and extraordinary days, and of course […]
Mom and Dad’s first training class didn’t go quite as expected. However, I believe we are on the right track to retraining them to be more responsive to our demands, oops I mean commands. Anyways, as soon as we arrived to class, the trainer immediately separated us! He tied Asa to one corner, me to […]
It was a quiet Saturday morning. Asa and I were enjoying our post-breakfast nap, and Mom had just settled in to watch a little TV. Then suddenly our tranquil bliss was ruined with the ear piercing chirp of a smoke alarm! Instantly I ran to the door! After all, everyone knows you’re suppose to get […]
Mom and Dad, I think you know why Asa and I called this meeting today. In honor of Administrative Professionals’ Day we would like to thank you for your hard work assisting us with Living with a Golden, as well as address concerns about your possible future employment with us. First off, we’d like to […]
Being an office dog is hard work, especially when your coworker insists on using a term that can easily be confused with our favorite game. Due to Dad’s inability to communicate effectively, balls or any toy that can be used like a ball are now banned from the office. Now before you go jumping to […]
Dad means well, but he is forcing Asa and I to spend our days in a hostile work environment. Don’t get me wrong. We love having Dad as a coworker! We make a good team with me barking during conference calls to alert him to squirrels outside, while Asa supervises Dad’s every move by insisting […]
In case you haven’t noticed, Mom and Dad are the ultimate Helicopter Dog Parents. So you can’t begin to understand my astonishment when I overheard them asking a friend to check in on us while they were away for a rare night out in Boston. I’ve waited for this opportunity for three years! Don’t get […]
Well apparently the case of the missing dog nail clippers continues! Guess what arrived on our doorstep on Saturday? The “undeliverable” replacement clippers Mom ordered a month ago! Dad thought he canceled that order when we received notice they couldn’t be delivered for unexplained reasons. Yet, surprise there it was almost a month to the […]
Sometimes, in rising up to meet a challenge, you can run into adversity. This is my story. During the subfreezing temperatures in January, Dad got the ridiculous idea that Asa and I should wear booties to protect our paws. As you can probably guess, Asa and I had completely different reactions. However, being a good […]
Mom is being a drama queen. Just because her tummy doesn’t feel well, that’s no excuse to lounge around in bed all day and neglect me. She certainly could learn a lot by following my example. I vomit, Asa eats it, and we’re all good to go for the next adventure! But nope, Mom is […]
