Today is Patriots’ Day. A state holiday observed in Massachusetts and Maine commemorating the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War, which took place on April 19, 1775. Throughout the day today in Lexington and Concord there will be reenactments of this epic battle. But for those of […]
Every so often Asa surprises me with his profound thoughts. It doesn’t happen often. So I thought I’d take this opportunity to re-share Asa’s rather astute observations on spring. This was originally posted back in April of 2015 when he was just a five month old puppy. Without further ado, here is Asa with his […]
Seven years ago on this date I joined my family and changed their lives for the better! Oh sure Lemmy was happy living with just Mom and Dad, but he didn’t know what he was missing. Luckily for them, I was a precocious puppy; clever, mature, and ready to lead them on an even grander […]
Wow, who would have guessed one errand could trigger such a roller coaster ride of emotions! Oh, it’s me Asa. Recently Dad took me to the Subaru dealership, but never told me the purpose for our errand. Instead, Dad just sat me down in the waiting room and put a Barkley “Driving Lesson” brochure in […]
Chuck Billy and Dad are out inspecting our woods for any damage from the windstorm. But they told me to stay home because I’d “just be in the way.” In the way?! Have they forgotten just a few years ago while on a walk in those very same woods I saved a Gnome’s life? Chuck […]
Last week when I interviewed Asa for his 4 year job evaluation, some curious readers wanted to know what my role is in the family. An excellent question! Asa, read these questions exactly as I have them written. And whatever you do, no editorial comments, ad libbing, and absolutely no turning my performance review into […]
Tomorrow is the four year anniversary of Asa coming to live with us. Time to do another job evaluation! Back when Asa first joined our family, I wanted to make sure Asa wasn’t some sort of a slacker. So I would periodically review his role within our family. However, I guess it’s me who’s been […]
Asa here. As you are probably well aware, my Imaginary Friend and I are inseparable. However, he tends to be a bit shy and only appears in the most random of places, usually behind glass. However, it has always been my dream that someday he would finally come out of the shadows and talk to […]
I just heard that this week’s Mega Millions lottery is up to 1.6 billion dollars! This got me thinking about what I would buy if I won the lottery. After doing a bit of math, I realized that with 1 billion dollars I could purchase 200 million bacon scented squeaky balls! I’d never run out […]
Well this is embarassing. It appears that despite being a renowned Dog Ufologist, I let my guard down and got abducted by a UFO again! Yesterday started like any other day. While Mom headed off for a walk with Asa, I patiently waited for Dad. I’m happy to report that Dad is getting back to […]
