The American Kennel Club (AKC) recently announced the most popular dog breeds, and once again it isn’t the Golden Retriever. We didn’t even come in second. Instead, Golden Retrievers continue to hold onto 3rd place. Well except for in 2020, when we dropped to 4th, but that was a bad year for everyone. Don’t get […]
Asa here. Despite springing forward with the time change yesterday, I find myself falling further and further behind. Well at least I am when it comes to my meals. Thanks to my sudden voracious appetite, Mom thought I should use a slow feeder bowl. Sure since switching to this bowl I no longer burp repeatedly […]
Asa here. Well this is awkward. Chuck Billy is outside and refusing to come in the house because of a beeping noise. No, it isn’t the chirping of a battery dying in the smoke detectors. Chuck Billy taught us long ago that he absolutely detests that sound and in a panic will run to the […]
Wow, first day back in the office after medical leave, and Asa is making a power play to take over my corner office! Everyone knows I’m Dad’s direct supervisor! Well he may be sure of himself now, but it is going to take more than an air of confidence and a dirty sock to do […]
My order for snow has finally arrived! While I go out to play in it, I hope you don’t mind if I take you for another stroll down memory lane to Asa’s first winter with us. 2015 was one of the snowiest on record for Maine, and each day following his arrival it continued to […]
Let’s face it, Asa likes to play by his own rules. Rules that we may never understand. Case in point, I’ve written before about how to cure cabin fever we like to play nose work games, where our humans hide one of three scents in the house and we sniff them out. I am a […]
The following events took place over the course of several days, but with an ending none of us imagined even in our wildest dreams. It all began one morning when Mom went to let us out of our bedroom. She’s a light sleeper, so we sleep in separate bedrooms. Anyways, rather than greet Mom at […]
Dear Santa, It’s me Asa. It is with deep regret that I must request you remove me from your Nice List. I’m sorry, but after an 8 year spotless record I cracked under Christmas pressure. It happened on Saturday when I headed upstairs to find a sock. Oh that wasn’t the misstep. I always carry […]
Asa here. I’ve always felt bad for the Abominable Snowman in Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Did anyone ever take the time to talk to him? Maybe he didn’t mean to be big and scary? Perhaps like some dogs, he was just unsocialized and wanted a hug? Regardless, that holiday special has given Yetis a […]
We interrupt our regularly scheduled post for today because I need to have a serious conversation with Asa about an incident that occurred on the way to bed last night. Asa: Is it because I was feeling sluggish and headed up to bed early? Chuck Billy: That’s exactly what the problem is! Asa: I didn’t […]
