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, […]
Mother Nature, I’m not one to tell someone how to do their job, but you’ve really been slacking off this winter. It’s January in Maine, and yet we can still see the grass here in southern Maine, and north of us isn’t fairing much better. Perhaps you’ve forgotten what winter in Maine should look like? […]
When it comes to winter clothing in Maine, LL Bean and his iconic boot usually first comes to mind. However, Leon Leonwood Bean isn’t the first Mainer to invent warm clothing for outdoor fun. There’s also Chester Greenwood, of Farmington, Maine, who in 1873 invented earmuffs! As the legend goes, Chester enjoyed ice skating, but […]
Dear Mother Nature, I am writing to you in regards to delivery issues with my recent orders for snow. On Saturday, January 2, 2021 I received your shipment of slush. As you can see in your records, I requested pure snow. Not that snow and rain slush you sent me, which I might add has […]

All this talk about Earth Day got me thinking about a post Asa wrote when he was a puppy. As a winter puppy, he was amazed by all the new sounds he heard in the spring when the world woke up after the snow melted. I can now relate to this post because since we’ve […]
From the dogs who brought you Golden Fur Art and Build a Golden Retriever, we bring you Fur Bunnies! Better than your average Dust Bunny, these one of a kind works of art will make your Easter holiday soft and fuzzy! Just image the hours of enjoyment you and your dog can have making these […]
For this Throwback Thursday stroll down memory lane, we are hopping down the bunny trail. You may be surprised to hear despite being an awesome guard dog, Santa isn’t the only one who breaks into my home one night each year. The Easter Bunny does too! However, whereas Santa at least leaves presents, this mischievous […]
According to Google, Inuits have approximately 50 different words to describe snow. Although our vocabulary isn’t as extensive, dogs also have quite a few ways to describe snow too. For example, right now we are experiencing what my friend Sheba calls “Snakebite Snow.” Snakebite Snow is icy crunchy snow that when stepped on the paw […]
