Mother Nature, come over here and sit with me for a moment as I take you for a March down memory lane. I know you’re very busy, especially since you were up all last night making it rain here, so I condensed the photos from the past 9 winters in March into this collage. Notice […]
These are the times that try dogs’ souls, and humans’ patience. Our backyard is covered in ice, and there’s snow / sleet / rain in the forecast for tomorrow with a bitter blast of cold air on tap for Saturday. Thus our outdoor playtime is limited. However, it is important to keep dogs entertained both […]
Well as of this morning, the snowstorm that we’ve been so anxiously tracking, starting from predicted amounts of 10 inches of snow, has diminished to at most a dusting. So as I warned Mother Nature yesterday, if she didn’t send us the snow we so nicely requested, I would be unleashing Asa’s latest song parody, […]
Mother Nature, can you make up your mind? First the meteorologist said we’d be getting a big snowstorm on Tuesday. Then it said it will miss us. Now we are on the edge of a storm that is headed south of us that may or may not reach Maine. Mother Nature, it is February. We […]

Normally I don’t pay attention to what is on the tv, unless of course I picked the show. However, the other day something on it caught my attention. There was a person saying, “Don’t dress for the job you have. Dress for the job you want.” This got me thinking, what if this applied to […]
Dear Mother Nature, I am applying to be your new Snowmaking Engineer and Distribution Manager. As we both know, snowmaking is an intricate process that combines science and art, skill and imagination. Well look no further! I’m the right canine candidate for the job! As you will see by my resume, I have extensive experience […]
Don’t be so quick to put away your orange clothing, now that Halloween is over. Deer hunting season in Maine has officially begun, and it is allowed on many of the dog friendly trails that we review. Therefore, here is our annual reminder to wear blaze-orange and other safety precautions to take when hiking with […]
Asa here. I decided to write a song to summarize the first leg of Asa’s World Tour of Maine and the summer of 2023.
