The following is the tale of Goldenlocks and the three rooms. It all began one cold November night, when Dad was away for the weekend, leaving two Golden Retrievers and Mom home alone. Now everyone knows when Dad is away Mom’s Rules are different, and somethings that may not be allowed under ordinary circumstances are […]
For years now I have been searching for the portal in my kitchen. I have undeniable proof that it exists, as evident in the mysterious disappearance and reappearance of objects in that room. However, I could not locate the portal itself. That is until this weekend! I have found the portal in my kitchen to […]
Oops, this is awkward. You caught me sneaking out of the office early again. Except this time I convinced Asa, Mom and Dad to join me. We are taking some time off this week, so our posts will be sporadic, and our replies delayed. But with over 2,000 blog posts, we think we have something […]
Ordinarily I’m a good boy, who follows the rules. However every once in awhile I need to break the rules to stand up for the underdog, or in this case llama. Last month while updating our blog post on dog beach rules, I came across one I’ve never seen before: “Horses, ponies, llamas, vicunas, alpacas […]
Although Dad and I disagree on which is better, new car smell vs eau de dog, there is one thing we can agree on – no one wants the car to smell like poop! Unfortunately though a lot of the trails we hike don’t have trash receptacles, and require us to bring it on car […]
Owning a new car, especially after 19 years with the old one, comes with a learning curve. Dad needs to get use driving it, especially with the new safety features. For Mom it is joining everyone else in the 21st century by giving up her CDs and getting use to streaming. As for Asa and […]
Mom has a lot on her mind lately. Therefore she did what generations of women in her family have done in similar situations – she cleaned the house. I’m not talking your average weekly chores. I’m talking about finding what’s that in the back of the cupboards and closets, and dusting the top of the […]
My little brother has a lot on his mind these days. Therefore I thought I’d give him a morale boost with our favorite game. Normally I like to show off my athletic prowess, by outrunning Asa to retrieve the ball, over and over and over again. In the past, Mom would occasionally have to hold […]
Asa likes to be helpful around house. Case in point he’s always picking up socks when he finds them. So after watching Mom slowly chipping away at her spring cleaning to-do list, Asa decided he’d help her tidy up. Or at least he thought he was helping. When emptying the bathroom wastebasket, Mom noticed one […]
It is with a droopy tail that I announce that after 7 years of beekeeping this summer my hives will remain empty. We made this difficult decision after the series of unfortunate events these past few years. It began in 2020 when we experienced a colony collapse, which is basically a fancy way of saying […]
