Lately we’ve had two types of weather here in Maine: hot and humid, or cold and rainy. Although there are some who enjoy the heat and hate the rain, Asa has the opposite perspective. He embraces the rain and enjoys every refreshing minute playing in it. So today we debut his tribute to rainy summer […]
Is your lawn looking a bit ruff this spring? Before you attempt the backbreaking work of rototilling, let us tear up, oops I mean, aerate your yard! No expensive equipment needed. No arduous work required. In fact, we’ll make it a pleasant afternoon. You just throw our ball repeatedly, and Asa and I will happily […]
Out there lurking among the tall grass and decaying leaves waiting to pounce is a nemesis to dogs even worse than squirrels – Ticks! Worst yet, it is virtually impossible to avoid them. Even dogs who only spend a brief time outside can pick up a hungry Tick. So unless you want to become a […]
The spring backyard building boom has begun! I’ve been watching the birds and other critters hard at work making nests. I’ve also seen a lot of posts lately of dogs sharing their fur to help their feathered friends. However, I want to caution that NOT all dog fur is safe to leave out for birds! […]
On the last official day of winter, I’d like to wish it a fond farewell. Sure it got off to a slow start in January, with me begging Mother Nature to deliver my order for snow. However, in the end, winter lived up to its promises of snow, fun, and cuddles by the fireside. As […]
Hello Mother Nature, it’s me, Asa. What’s troubling you? Here in my little corner of Maine you went from warm 65 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures on Thursday, to we’ll be lucky if we reach 25 degrees today. Also you really caught us off guard yesterday with that snow squall, and your howling winds on Friday night […]
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 […]
Today our resident rockstar, Asa, is getting in touch with his more romantic side with this poem dedicated to a winter puppy’s first love, snow. Our sincere apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning, for what Asa is about to do to her famous poem, “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” Snow, how […]
We interrupt today’s regularly scheduled post with a weather report from our rover reporter, Asa. The much anticipated snowstorm of 2021 has arrived! We’re taking a snow day to celebrate!!! Thank you Punxsutawney Phil for delivering our snow from Mother Nature!
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, […]
