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 […]
On this World Kindness Day, Asa and I double dog dare you to bring back kindness not as a one day event, or even a random act, but as a courtesy of every day life. Acts of kindness that were once considered as having good manners generations ago need to come back into daily practice. […]
Dear Great Pumpkin, On this National Pumpkin Day, I’d like to give you a pep talk. After watching It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown for the umpteenth time, it has come to my realization I don’t know anyone who has actually met you. I can understand being shy, and not wanting to draw attention to […]
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 […]
Yesterday was municipal elections day here in Maine. Across the state there were many important issues being voted on, but one town’s question to rescind a ban on pinball really caught my attention. Apparently back in 1981 a town in Maine passed a law in which children had to be 16 years or older, and […]
Ordinarily I’m a good boy, who follows the rules. However every once in awhile I need to break the rules to stand up for the underdog, or in this case llama. Last month while updating our blog post on dog beach rules, I came across one I’ve never seen before: “Horses, ponies, llamas, vicunas, alpacas […]
It has been a few months since my emergency surgery in February to remove my left eye, due to Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis. Since then Chuck Billy has been really good at keeping everyone up to date medically on my condition. Today I thought I’d share my perspective on how I’m adapting to all these […]
I’m feeling nostalgic this morning. Six years ago Asa and I attended our first New England Golden Jubilee. The event itself at Dog Mountain wasn’t our only first that weekend. It was also the first time that we stayed in a hotel. This weekend Goldens from across New England and beyond will be attending the […]
