Well I learned an important lesson on my vacation. Always ask if it is a shared rental and research the location. Turns out our rental cottage was a popular bird destination! It didn’t take long after our arrival for Asa and I to notice the previous guests were still lingering on the lawn. I politely […]
Asa here. Chuck Billy and I have somewhat different opinions on how to enjoy a vacation. Whereas he sees it as one big adventure exploring as many new places as possible, trying new things, and making new friends wherever we go, I find it comforting to have a mix of both old and new experiences. […]
Surprise! We’re back! Last week Asa and I decided that Mom and Dad needed a vacation, so we took them to explore the midcoast region of Maine. It was the perfect way to celebrate the end of summer. We awoke each morning to the sound of lobster boats heading out to check their traps. Thanks […]
This weekend we attended the 5th Annual New England Golden Jubilee! This was our third year partying with over 100 Golden Retrievers at Dog Mountain in Saint Johnsbury, Vermont. I can’t wait to tell you all about it, but I need to sort through Mom’s photos first and collect my thoughts. So in the meantime, […]
Recently a few of our dog friends asked us for advice on planning the perfect vacation with their humans. When traveling with humans, especially Helicopter Dog Parents, it is important to be prepared. A little preplanning goes a long way in reducing their stress and ours. Here are a our recommendations to dogs to help […]
While Asa was on his little adventure looking for pirate treasure, I embarked on a much more important quest during our recent vacation. I was going to finally have lobster for dinner! I’m not certain, but I think it is an unwritten residency rule that all Mainers must eat their weight in lobsters once a […]
Asa here. Before setting off on our vacation I read Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. It’s hard to believe with all the silly things that Chuck Billy believes, finding a map leading to buried treasure isn’t one of them. Would you believe he told me the days of pirate maps and finding treasure chests were […]
Four forts and several hikes ago, we set off for a grand adventure! Last week Asa and I took Mom and Dad on vacation. This year we visited the Searsport, Maine area. Searsport is approximately one hour south of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, and offers many scenic dog friendly places to explore, yet […]
While many of our friends are away this week for tail wagging adventures, I thought I’d share our tale from when our vacation started out like a Stephen King novel! This adventure happened back in 2016, when we explored the Bold Coast of Maine. Don’t worry, unlike most of Steph King novels, this one has […]
Asa and I had the best weekend ever! We attended the 4th Annual New England Golden Jubilee at Dog Mountain! Our weekend was filled with surprises, pure joy, and 120 Golden Retrievers! It all began on Friday afternoon when Mom and Dad loaded us up for a long car ride to St. Johnsbury, Vermont. Silly […]
