In addition to this week marking Asa’s arrival into our family, it is also the anniversary of Lemmy coming home. On January 25, 2007 Mom and Dad welcomed their first puppy into our family, and boy were they unprepared for this little guy! Don’t get me wrong, they didn’t get Lemmy on a whim. In […]
January is a good time to remind dogs of their important role in caring for their humans. It is good to have a consistent plan to meet their needs, and this holds especially true during the winter months. Exercise: Humans need plenty of exercise to burn off extra energy otherwise it could lead to unwanted […]
Dear Customer Service, I recently purchased your dictation software to use with my blog, Living with a Golden. Although I’m grateful for my Mom’s efforts to type my thoughts, I do not appreciate her editorial comments. But I digress. The reason for this letter is that I am dissatisfied with your lack of Dog as […]
Humans never cease to amaze me with their silly ideas of what is fun. But this Christmas tops them all! Asa and I spent hours spreading our favorite squeaky toys all around the living room floor so on Christmas morning Mom and Dad could come down and choose which one they’d like to play with. […]
Dear Mom & Dad, Asa and I are usually very patient and accommodating with your silly antics and odd behaviors. However, we cannot accept you arbitrarily changing the time this past weekend. We don’t care about your lame excuse that Daylight Saving Time Ended, and therefore the clocks are turned back one hour. This means […]
Despite our subtle hints, Mom and Dad continue to refuse to share their food with us. How they can resist our pleading big brown eyes is beyond me. But because of their selfishness, Asa and I have been left with no other choice than to make a kitchen agility course in the hopes of obtaining […]
Dad is coming home today! He has been away for work, but is due back home this afternoon. Although I missed him greatly, I have to say I handled this situation a lot better than Lemmy ever did. You see, my older brother Lemmy was a bit dramatic, and would methodically go through the five […]
If you haven’t noticed, Mom and Dad are a little overprotective. Oh sure in many ways it is comforting to know they have our best interest at heart. But sometimes they are a little ridiculous. According to Wikipedia, “A helicopter parent is a parent who pays extremely close attention to a child’s or children’s experiences and problems. […]
Asa has been living with us for six months now. Time for another performance review! I’ll be using the same questions from his First 100 Days interview: How do you see your role in this family? Now that I’ve been here for six months, I feel that my role has been clearly defined as Entertainment […]
I stand corrected. This past winter I complained that playing fetch in 4+ feet of snow was the worst experience of my life. That is before I had to play fetch in overgrown grass. You see Mom and Dad have been busy lately, and haven’t had a chance to mow the lawn. Now don’t get […]
