This is Capone. He’s pretty sweet, and he reminds me of Quimby. They should do some corrupt business together, but they are both too kind. He was hanging out in Fetch, a very cool dog store in Maine.

I wanna tell you about something Gnarly. He somehow managed to photo bomb the photo he was supposed to be in. At any rate, he totally shreds the gnar, rips groomers, represents 4 lyfe, etc. His owner cosequentially shreds the red as one of Portland’s finest lobstah roll pimps, operating on the corner of Commercial St. and Franklin Arterial. Infringe on his turf and run the risk of seeing the Gnar, unleashed!

Met Chyla at Fetch today. She was awesome and uber friendly. She kissed me right away, and the magical moment was caught on camera!

The French greet eachother kind of like this.

Phew! After a LONG break without any posts, I’m finally back into the swing of things! There were a couple of reasons for the prolonged absence. Quimby had his surgery, which means no more trips to the dog park. I forgot just how hard it was to meet dogs when you don’t have one of your own.

His recovery has been steady, about what the vet expected. It feels like it’s been many months, but in reality, it’s only been one. He desperately wants to play, and often tries to get the cats to play with him. They do not really appreciate this, but they kind of watch and judge him as he playfully throws bones and chew toys their way. He loves the snow, and wants to spend more time in the nearly 3 feet of it in the backyard. More on that in the next couple weeks.

The other reason for the break (no pun intended) was that my camera broke. Too many dogs for the thing to handle. Thankfully it was replaced for free so the fun can continue.

My return dog is Zip! He is a pug who likes to spend his days behind the counter at Fetch. If you haven’t been to Fetch and you have a dog or a cat, you really need to check it out. It’s right on Commercial Street here in Portland, Maine and they really have a huge selection of awesome dog and cat treats, leashes, collars, food and other awesome accessories. I’m pretty sure you can get your pet washed there if they get sprayed by a skunk, or if you don’t feel like washing them. Anyway, here’s Zip!
