Mother Nature, I’m not one to tell someone how to do their job, but you’ve really been slacking off this winter. It’s January in Maine, and yet we can still see the grass here in southern Maine, and north of us isn’t fairing much better. Perhaps you’ve forgotten what winter in Maine should look like? […]
Yesterday this memory of a conversation with Mom’s Great Aunt appeared on my timeline. It reminded me that this recent string of snowstorms may actually be a blessing in disguise. Great Aunt Dottie is the wise matriarch of our family, and even I, brilliant dog that I am, can learn from her. She no longer […]
All that snow yesterday got me nostalgic about Asa’s first winter. In 2015 we received a record amount of snow, in fact it literally snowed every day for the first 16 days he lived with us! I was convinced that Mom and Dad accidentally brought home a polar bear instead of a puppy. But I […]
It’s snowing here today and temperatures are hovering around 32 degrees. Do you know what that means? SNOW DAY FUN! Sorry for barking, I’m just really excited. So while Asa and I are reveling in a tail wagging day filled with romping in the snow and making snow angels, please enjoy this old video from […]
With subfreezing temperatures for days and snow piling up, Asa and I are losing our minds stuck indoors. That’s when I decided to take matters into my own paws, and find a game we can play inside. A game that’s is mentally stimulating, burns energy, but won’t make Mom worry that we’ll bring the house […]
Winter, we’ve had a good run. But please don’t embarrass yourself, and overstay your welcome. Besides, I’m sure you have friends waiting for you in other parts of the world. I did have a lot of fun though, and will hold onto these frosty memories during the dog days of summer. However, today is the […]
For our friends still digging out from this weekend’s storm, and as a reminder to us to appreciate this mild winter we are enjoying in New England, we’d like to share a video we made last winter, “Losing Asa.” It is about Chuck Billy’s harrowing adventure puppy sitting Asa during the Blizzard of 2015. Luckily […]
Puppies these days have it too easy! Yesterday was a hot one here with temperatures nearing 90 degrees. Apparently Asa decided it was too inconvenient to stand in front of the AC to cool off, so he pawed at the fan until Mom turned it on for him. Seriously?! Why can’t he just content himself […]
Despite the surprise snowstorm last week, Spring is slowly but surely making an appearance here in Maine. But with it comes a whole new set of problems for my little brother. Namely, where to go to the bathroom?! From the day Asa came home we thought we were doing an excellent job housebreaking him. Little […]
