Asa here. As Chuck Billy revealed earlier this week, I am on a diet. After years of being a lean, mean fetching machine, the treats have caught up to me. Now instead of my usual full portion of kibble I find it slightly smaller with extra green beans to keep my grumbly tummy at bay, […]
Asa likes to find the good in everyone, which is great any other time of the year. However, with Halloween right around the corner, I feel it is my responsibility to remind him, and other overly friendly dogs, to beware of monsters. When it comes to making friends on Halloween, Asa’s motto of a “a […]
Psst. Come closer and act natural. I’m being followed. It all began way back in January while on a hike at one of my favorite places, when we actually were followed. Despite the fact the preserve consists of hundreds of acres, and no one else was there, two women followed our every twist and turn […]
To Whom It May Concern, Recently while enjoying your beautiful city I came across this upsetting sign at the park, “No Dogs At Anytime.” Now I agree with you that dogs and formal gardens may not always go well together. However, rather than single out dogs, I think you need to broaden your scope to […]
When you’re a celebrity such as Asa and myself, we’re often noticed when we go places. Take for example our recent visit to Bug Light Park, when members of a bike tour shouted compliments as they pedaled past us relaxing at the park. They said everything from a cheery, “aren’t they cute!” to the leader […]
Not to brag, but I will. Another vacuum has bit the dust thanks to my fur. Oh sure it took 9 years, 2 months and 3 Golden Retrievers to defeat it, but I did. Asa: Whoa! Technically the vacuum still works. The suction is still going strong. It’s just the molded plastic ball needed to […]
We’re taking a stroll down memory lane today to make Mom smile. If Mom had a tail it would be droopy, because she’s missing her Dad, our Grandpa. So I thought I’d make her smile by reminding her of how Asa almost ruined our final Father’s Day spent with Grandpa, but instead made it a […]
I accidentally got into a fight with my Imaginary Friend, and now he’s disappeared! I didn’t mean to hurt his feelings. If anything it was his fault for starting the fight. Let me explain and you decide. We were taking a walk one evening when our neighbor stopped in his truck to talk with Mom […]
If you’re looking at this because you’re interested in reading a bedtime story, well this isn’t the post for you. But if you want to read stories about bedtime with Asa, then grab a snack and get comfortable because I have tales to tell! For the past two weeks Mom and Dad have been keeping […]
They say, “You are what you eat.” They also say, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” However, I want to know what “they” would say about the current cookie confusion in our home. As you may recall back in January, Dad had the awkward experience of attempting to eat one of MY dog treats. […]
