These are the times that try dogs’ souls – Mud Season. Now don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Mud Season! Nothing compares to the scent of freshly made mud from melting snow, and rolling in it brings a sense of pleasure that is beyond description. However, Mom and Dad don’t share these sentiments, and Mud […]
Dear Mother Nature, I’m filling with anticipation. For Christmas? No! For snow! The month of December is half over, and yet there has been no measurable snowfall here in southern Maine. This is an outrage! Mother Nature, I understand you probably have Holiday errands and parties to attend like the rest of us, but surely […]
Well after weeks of dealing with the leaves cluttering my yard, it has become painfully apparent that Mom and Dad are in no hurry to clean them up. So I’ve decided to take matters into my own paws…and make Asa do it! As the saying goes, “a little hard work never killed anyone,” and I […]
I got to hand it to Asa, he’s a determined little fellow who doesn’t give up easily. He’s been searching for quite awhile now for the ball Mom threw. A task that is virtually impossible thanks to the fact the trees exploded and left their leaves all over our yard. I blame the Squirrels for […]
Ode to the Grill: You’ve given me my summer fill, your delicious scents gave me a thrill! But summer has come and gone, and no more will you grace our lawn… The saddest day of the year has arrived. The day Dad puts away the grill for winter. No more delicious smells of grilled hamburgers […]
Pssst, Asa here. I have an odd question for you. Has anyone else noticed the leaves changing colors lately? It seems like one day they were all green, then the next morning some are yellow, then the following morning there are red and orange mixed in with them. Everywhere I look I’m noticing more and […]
I stand corrected. This past winter I complained that playing fetch in 4+ feet of snow was the worst experience of my life. That is before I had to play fetch in overgrown grass. You see Mom and Dad have been busy lately, and haven’t had a chance to mow the lawn. Now don’t get […]
Despite the surprise snowstorm last week, Spring is slowly but surely making an appearance here in Maine. But with it comes a whole new set of problems for my little brother. Namely, where to go to the bathroom?! From the day Asa came home we thought we were doing an excellent job housebreaking him. Little […]
Har, Har Mother Nature, very funny. Today is the first day of Spring, despite the fact that temps are hovering just above freezing and there is snow in the forecast for this evening. But you’re not fooling me. You are playing Hide & Seek with Spring! Game on! As we headed outside, I told Asa […]
This is the hardest time of year for dogs. The lull between Winter and Spring. Oh don’t get me wrong, I love Winter! Especially the fact that I can dig holes in the snow to my heart’s content and no one yells at me to stop. But now the snow is dingy and yellow, and […]
