Gather round my friends. There’s a Halloween feel in the air today. So join me as we take a candlelight stroll down memory lane to a story I first shared in 2019. This tale, inspired by true events, is a homage to Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” (1843), and continues to haunt me to […]
We have a strict “No Squeaky Toys in the Office” rule ever since that incident a few years ago. How were we suppose to know Dad was talking to someone really, really, really important? But I digress. Since then Asa and I have obeyed that rule for the most part…until recently. I have to give […]
Backyard patrol is never routine. One must always be on alert, because a situation can change in an instant. It is also important to know your limitations when these situations arise. This is what happened to me recently while out patrolling my backyard. It began with the unnerving feeling that I was being watched. That’s […]
Contrary to how it appears, I’m alright! This bandage on my paw is because I nicked my dewclaw. I didn’t react at all, but apparently they bleed a lot, and Mom gets a little squeamish around blood. The bleeding has stopped. But Dad says I need to stay bandaged up while it heals. But to […]
This gray and rainy day here in Maine, at the end of another long week, has got me feeling sentimental. I dedicate my parody of Poison’s “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” to all the toys I’ve loved and lost. I also would like to take this opportunity to wish Bret Michaels’ dog, Nova, a German […]
Asa here. All superheroes have their kryptonite, even my big brave brother, Chuck Billy. Earlier this week he shared his perspective on rescuing us from the chirping smoke detector, and how he may have needed to relieve himself after the fright was over. This isn’t the first time Chuck Billy has felt the need to […]
It happened again. My peaceful night’s sleep was interrupted by the jarring noise of the smoke alarm in my room chirping a low battery alert. Mom, who I’m not sure has ever enjoyed a peaceful night’s sleep, heard it too, and was immediately there to rescue Asa and me. As soon as she flung open […]
As you know, Mom and Dad have that ridiculous “Four Paws on the Floor” rule, which means we’re not allowed on the furniture. Now being a good boy myself, I never break that rule. Asa, on the other paw, prior to his eye surgery was a rebel and would frequently jump up on the couch […]
You can’t expect the opening week of Asa’s World Tour of Maine to pass without the debut of a new song! This time it comes with an important message reminding dogs that humans are watching, and we need to be on our best behavior when visiting dog friendly places. So it is our great pleasure […]
In Asa’s update yesterday, he neglected to mention that his goggles give him a superpower. X-ray vision? No. The ability to see in virtual reality? No. Asa’s goggles give him the superpower to make me invisible! At least that’s how I feel going places with Asa now. When we arrive all we hear is, “Look […]
