Today is the Winter Solstice. On what is the darkest day of the year, with the least amount of daylight in the Northern Hemisphere, we ask that you be the light for those around you. While out and about, be sure to smile! For some it may be the only smile they see today. Those […]
Asa here. Yesterday Chuck Billy shared his past mistakes when hanging out with Santa, and his concerns about his status on this year’s Nice List. Today I would like to share a few thoughts on how to always be on Santa’s good side. It isn’t difficult. You just need to be nice to Santa! Everyone […]
Once upon a time, a Golden, who absolutely loves Christmas and watched a lot of movies and read a lot of books on the topic, visited a special house. While his older brother chatted downstairs with friends, Asa, oops I mean just a random Golden who believes in the magic of Christmas, decided to explore […]
Asa here. As you know in good times and bad, I often turn to music to express my feelings. But today, instead of writing a parody, I’m sharing with you the lyrics of a Bon Jovi song, “Story of my Life.” “This is the story of my lifeAnd I write it every day I know […]

Ferris Bueller once said, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you can miss it.” So in following his lead, we are taking some time off. Alright, so while we unplug, Asa and I won’t be “borrowing” a Ferrari, and I can guarantee our adventures won’t be […]
As I watched the school bus drive past my house this morning, I was reminded of the kids who use to wait for it near my driveway. Back then I included pausing at the bus stop on my morning walk, so they could pet me. I would happily send them off for the day with […]
Tomorrow is National Work Like a Dog Day. This day was created to honor hard working dogs, for our strong work ethic and sense of duty. So to celebrate, I thought I’d remind everyone of my hard work as Chief Executive Dog (CED), keeping my office running smoothly. Oh sure it may look like being […]
