Since a lot of dogs are home with their humans now, we thought we’d re-share the posts from our training series to perhaps inspire you to work on your human’s skills. In 2018 Asa and I enrolled Mom and Dad for private lessons to address issues they were having with leash walking and other commands. […]
Congratulations to all the dogs who now suddenly find themselves working from home with their humans! Asa and I are fortunate to have the honor of being office dogs with our Mom and Dad for a few years now. Therefore we’d like to share some useful advice on how to make your new workplace environment […]
Heeding the warnings about social distancing, we stayed home this weekend. On Friday evening Mom and Dad happily discussed all the projects they’d like to do around the house that they’ve been putting off. I admit some sounded more fun than others. As Asa and I drifted off to sleep we looked forward to a […]
Asa here. My apologies for not posting over the weekend. Chuck Billy needed my help taking care of Mom after her surgery. Oh sure he likes to portray himself as a take charge kind of dog, but to be honest he gets stressed easy. So Chuck Billy’s been sitting by Mom’s side whimpering. Even Dad […]
Here’s the situation. Mom needs to have minor surgery tomorrow. She assures me that she’ll be alright. However, this leaves me with no choice but to let her take some time off as my administrative assistant. Therefore, I only have two options: Continue to write the blog myself while I let Asa take care of […]
Dogs, January is a good time to remind you of your responsibility to take care of your humans. It is important to have a consistent plan to meet their needs, and this especially holds true during the winter months. After all, as every dog knows, a bored human is an annoying human. The following are […]
I’m happy to report that after being on light duty for the past two weeks, I’m back to work at neighborhood patrol! And just in the nick of time too! Dad has forgotten his training! I first noticed the problem on Thursday afternoon. After patiently sitting through a really long meeting with Dad, I finally […]
It is a little known fact that writing a dog blog can be inherently difficult work. Case in point, a spider has appeared on my computer this morning. Is he a visitor from the dark web, upset that with each of my dog ufologist posts I am getting closer to the truth about UFOs? Or […]
Earlier this week while Mom was trying to convince Asa to declutter his toy box, she sent Dad and I down to the basement on a similar mission. However, unlike Asa who could not understand Marie Kondo’s philosophy of discard what doesn’t spark joy, Dad embraced it…perhaps a bit too much. While sorting through all […]
Clearly when Marie Kondo wrote her New York Times best selling book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, she did not have in mind Golden Retrievers, specifically Asa and his toy collection. As Kondo explains, “The best way to choose what to keep and what to throw away is to take each item in one’s […]
