Asa’s life of deception has finally been revealed! I knew it would only be a matter of time before he slipped up and would get caught. For years he has been sneaking onto the couch when Mom and Dad aren’t home, thus breaking the no dogs on the furniture rule. But finally Asa’s bravado got […]
Ok, I get it. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. So I can’t really fault Asa for wanting to be awesome like me. But today he’s overstepping his boundaries and trying to steal my identity! It all began around 4:00 AM, when for no apparent reason Asa started barking. He never barks! Mom immediately […]
It appears my little brother is a late bloomer. Whereas most dogs go through a shoe phase when they are puppies and then grow out of it, Asa has recently discovered shoes at the ripe old age of two. Luckily for Mom and Dad, at least Asa is mature enough not to chew on them. […]
Asa, I’m sorry I killed your toy, Mr. Alligator. But must you be so overly dramatic and sing a song about him? He’s not even dead really, just a lot thinner without all the fluff inside of him. Pretend he just went on some extreme diet. If anything you should be thanking me for teaching […]
Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, please be seated. Asa will now present his defense. Please keep in mind you will need to decide, “does the punishment fit the crime?” Asa: Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, whoever said “No good deed goes unpunished” was absolutely correct. Mom, Dad and Chuck Billy are falsely accusing […]
Chuck Billy has all the luck! Day in and day out we go on neighborhood patrol and nothing happens. Then suddenly I’m sidelined for an injury and he has all sorts of adventures on his walk without me! Even more upsetting is Chuck Billy doesn’t even appreciate it! It all started a couple days ago […]
This past weekend we had the prefect conditions for a dog friendly winter hike: fresh packed snow, no ice, and temperatures hovering between the mid-40s to 50s. But did we go out and enjoy all that a Maine winter wonderland has to offer? Nope! And it’s all Asa’s fault! My little brother is on forced […]
What kind of a big brother would I be if I didn’t share embarrassing home movies of Asa from time to time? Let’s face it, Asa was an annoying ball of fluff when he was a puppy! At the time I found his lack of personal space and constant need for negative attention very irritating. […]
Ok Asa, act natural. Uh oh, this isn’t good. Maybe Mom didn’t hear the crash? Of course she heard it, what was I thinking? She hears everything! Oh no, I can hear her moving upstairs. Quick! Help me hide the evidence! Stop wagging your tail Asa, and help me! This isn’t a game! You’re just […]
Rosamunde Pilcher once wrote, “And the wicked thing is, that when we’re really upset, we always take it out on the people who are closest and whom we love the most.” Asa, I owe you a big apology. My behavior this past weekend was inexcusable. I could blame it on my anxiety that the creepy […]
