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 […]

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.
