Dogs, the weather is finally warming up here in New England, with the first day of spring just a few days away. However, when answering the call of adventure, don’t let your guard down about ticks. Because they are also emerging from their winter hibernation and they are hungry! Contrary to what some may believe, […]
On Sunday morning my breakfast was served one hour early. Dinner was also served an hour early as well. The same thing happened today at breakfast. I did not have to subtly remind Mom that mealtime was fast approaching. In fact it was a nice surprise to wake from a nap yesterday, and see her […]
Avast me hearties! What do you do with a Pirate Parrot who is icebound in Maine? No seriously, what? Our Pirate Parrot was marooned here during a snowstorm in January. Now that I think of it, it was my birthday weekend when I found him in his battered cardboard ship seeking a safe harbor on […]
I hope none of you thought Asa would let Jon Bon Jovi’s birthday week go by without one of his parodies! Yesterday while Mom was mourning the loss of her obsolete DVR filled with Bon Jovi recordings, Asa was also strolling down memory lane. He’s written a lot of parodies to their songs over the […]
Cabin fever has definitely been setting in here this winter. However, Mother Nature is delivering to us fresh snow to play in today. This winter we actually have a snow deficit here in our neck of the woods in Maine by approximately 10 inches. Compare that to the winter when Asa first joined our family, […]
Dogs, has this ever happened to you? Your human throws a snowball, only to have it disappear despite your best efforts to find it. Well rest assured it has nothing to do with your search and rescue skills. Dogs, don’t be alarmed, but your yard could be a snow portal to anther dimension! As a […]
Last week Chuck Billy wrote a rather mean-spirited post making fun of my need to remind myself left paw, right paw, while walking on ice. Thankfully the ice on the road has melted, but we are facing another bitter blast of arctic cold this weekend. Now that I no longer have to worry about slipping, […]
Mother Nature, why didn’t you tell me yesterday’s storm was a lottery? I only learned about it when I turned on the local news and heard the meteorologist announce that north of us in Maine won the “Snow Jackpot!” Had you told me, I would have played that lottery. Although not being much of a […]
Asa here. Left paw. Right paw. Left paw. Right paw. Can’t talk now. Left paw. Right paw. Left paw. Right paw. Must concentrate. Left paw. Right paw. Left paw. Right paw. Road icy. Left paw. Right paw. Left paw. Right paw. Might slip. Left paw. Right paw. Left paw. Right paw. Oh hello leaf! *slips* […]
Mother Nature, I know we’re all nostalgic for the “good old days,” before the pandemic. However, bringing back below freezing temperatures not felt here in Maine since 2018, is not helping. No one wants to relive these bone chilling temperatures, with this morning’s subzero windchill making it “feel like” between -20 to -35ºF in Maine. […]
