Apparently Mom and Asa are having a bit of a disagreement over whether it is too cold to go out and play during the polar vortex. I have to admit I’m on Mom’s side. Even I’d rather snuggle by the pellet stove than play fetch in this subfreezing weather. At least on the bright side, […]
We interrupt our regularly scheduled blog post to share with you photos of Asa and myself playing in the snow. Here’s a fun fact. The time it takes for you to scroll through these six photos is about as long as we were outside. It’s freezing out! Tune in tomorrow for more adventures of Living […]
With temperatures continuing to hover well below freezing, and no substantial snow in sight in the forecast for southern Maine, it appears Mother Nature has ignored my recent request. Therefore, Asa is taking a different approach by writing a catchy song to the tune of “Winter Wonderland,” that will perhaps get Mother Nature to realize […]
Dear Mother Nature, your weather lately has made our tails droop, not cool. In fact that’s precisely the problem. The weather has not been cool enough for snow one day, and then bitterly cold the next. Lately it has rained more than snowed, then when it’s not raining the temperatures drop making our backyard an […]
Today Asa and I will be tackling the age old debate of which season is better, winter or summer. Being older and wiser, I will begin with my support of the best season ever, winter. Mother Nature, pull up a chair. I think you’re going to want to listen to this debate, and take notes. […]
This week we’ve seen tweets about blistering hot temperatures across Europe and the United States. We’ve also read posts reminding us that there are only 5 shopping months until Christmas. This inspired Asa to combine the two and write a duet with Mom dedicated to summer and set to the tune of the Holiday classic, “Baby, […]
It’s finally Friday! Time to get some frozen peanut butter and relax by the kiddie pool. Here’s a song by Asa, sung to the tune of Jimmy Buffett’s “Margaritaville” to get you into the weekend mood. My apologies in advance to any and all fans of the original song, including our grandmother, Babci. Asa’s version is […]
Yesterday this memory of a conversation with Mom’s Great Aunt appeared on my timeline. It reminded me that this recent string of snowstorms may actually be a blessing in disguise. Great Aunt Dottie is the wise matriarch of our family, and even I, brilliant dog that I am, can learn from her. She no longer […]
Dogs, are you tired of making snow angels in just a dusting of snow? Cats, has yet another winter gone by and you didn’t get a chance to build a snowman? Moms, were you too busy shoveling to get the perfect snowy picture of your pup? Well have we got a deal for you! In […]
These are the times that try dogs’ souls. After a month of being unable to play fetch because the backyard is covered in ice, it is finally almost melted. So what does Mother Nature do? She’s sending us more snow! Now don’t get me wrong, I love winter. However, I also love spring. And Mother […]
