Just Act Normal

There is some debate as to whether it was the eye specialist, the emergency surgeon, or the discharge vet tech, but somewhere along the way we were told to keep Asa’s routine as close to normal as possible, and he’ll adjust well to his new life with one eye. So while Mom and Dad worry and dote, and Asa comes to terms with his new perspective, I’m making sure we stick to our normal schedule. Take…

Good Boy to a Fault

Imagine this scenario. A dog is playing with a squeaky toy in the living room. Dad walks in, sits on the couch, and places a plate with a cookie on the cushion beside him. Dad begins to scroll through endless TV options, ignoring said cookie. Suddenly he is broken from his scrolling trance, not by the dog or the cookie, but from a work text. Dad heads upstairs to the office, leaving the dog alone…

Rocking the Rules

Let’s face it, Asa likes to play by his own rules. Rules that we may never understand. Case in point, I’ve written before about how to cure cabin fever we like to play nose work games, where our humans hide one of three scents in the house and we sniff them out. I am a certified professional when it comes to this game. Asa, well not so much, that is unless he’s playing by his own rules. The…

Yeti's Abominably Long Wait

Yeti’s Abominably Long Wait

Asa here. I’ve always felt bad for the Abominable Snowman in Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Did anyone ever take the time to talk to him? Maybe he didn’t mean to be big and scary? Perhaps like some dogs, he was just unsocialized and wanted a hug? Regardless, that holiday special has given Yetis a bad reputation. Well you can’t imagine my joy when I had the opportunity to meet one and call him my…

Puppy Advice from Angel Lemmy

Puppy Advice from Angel Lemmy

Yesterday would have been our brother Angel Lemmy’s 16th birthday. Isla Paschal Richardson, once wrote, “Grieve not, nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you.” So today we are sharing an email Lemmy sent at just 9 months old to his Momma Butter filled with all sorts of important “life lessons” and advice. We hope it brings a smile to your face.* August 16,…

Fool's Golden: My Quest for Treasure

Fool’s Golden: My Quest for Treasure

Blame it on all that talk about turning seawater into gold at Klondike Mountain in Lubec. Or maybe it was due to the pacing pirate ghosts that visited our rental cabin on that dark and stormy night. Regardless of the cause, I had treasure on my mind, and I was going to find it! While posing for photos on that remote beach cove, I couldn’t help but notice something in the distance that needed…

'Tis the Wind and Nothing More

‘Tis the Wind and Nothing More

It was a dark and stormy night, but we were safe inside our seaside vacation cabin, tucked in amongst the trees, balanced high on a cliff, overlooking the cove. Or so we thought! As I drifted off to sleep, I heard a noise outside on the porch. “What was that?” I barked. “‘Tis the wind and nothing more,” replied Asa. As the blanket of sleep lifted from my mind, I became more focused to the…

Asa's Talking Mushrooms

Asa’s Talking Mushrooms

Last week Asa was licking toads, and now this week he claims that mushrooms can talk! Even more surprising is that he has scientific research to back up this claim! According to Andrew Adamatzky, a computer scientist at the University of the West England, “some fungi use electrical impulses to share and process information internally. When signal activity spikes, it creates intricate patterns…

Silly Sunflower Shenanigans

It is the first full day of autumn at the end of what seemed like a very long week. So let’s close out this Friday with some silly sunflower shenanigans! Mom asked us to pose with these sunflowers. Little did she realize what we’d do! How about singing a little Harry Styles’ “Sunflower” to start us off… I don’t wanna make you feel badBut I’ve been trying hard not to act a foolSunflower…

The Struggle Is Real

The Struggle Is Real

Asa here. Sometimes Chuck Billy makes it really difficult for me to be a good boy. Take for the example the other day at dinner time. There I was patiently waiting my turn to eat when Chuck Billy dropped a single piece of kibble on the floor within reach. Did I want that delicious piece of kibble? YES! But I knew I had to resist temptation, because that was Chuck Billy’s kibble. So I tried to…

Santa's Secret Summer Visit

Santa’s Secret Summer Visit

Dear Santa, well played! Well played, indeed! You even fooled Chuck Billy. But as your little helper, I know exactly what you did! I admit at first I was confused about why you came to personally install our new gutter guards. Sure it made sense that back in December 2020, that you installed the rain gutters as a Christmas gift for Mom. But why interrupt your summer vacation for a belated…

Our Golden Moment as Lifeguards

Our Golden Moment as Lifeguards

If you’re at the Scarborough State Beach this summer, you may see their newest lifeguard in training, Beacon the Newfie. Newfies are bred to aid with water rescues, and Beacon’s job will eventually be to help Maine state lifeguards tow in people on floatation devices during rescues. Not to brag, but I will, Beacon isn’t the only canine lifeguard in Maine. Back in the day, Asa and I also enjoyed…

All the World Is a Stage for Asa

All the World Is a Stage for Asa

William Shakespeare once wrote, “All the world’s a stage.” He even goes on to say, “And one man in his time plays many parts, His act being seven stages.” Well what a coincidence, I’m 7 years old, and I play many parts as an up-and-coming rock star and comedian! So I better get a move on finding seven stages to perform on. Luckily on a recent outing, I found the first stage to launch my…
