This is Clara. She is an adopted (awesome) dog who came up from the land of Quimby- Tennessee. She is really cool, considering life probably hasn’t been easy for her until now.  She will be an awesome companion!

This is scooter. In the spirit of the holiday, he loved me, then barked at me, then loved me again. He’s a good boy.

Anytime a dog needs to get surgery, it’s not a fun experience. When Quimby had his surgery, I remember how glad I was that he didn’t have to wear a cone around his neck, so I’m feeling for Daisy. Daisy had to have surgery on her eye and is going to have to keep this collar on for two weeks to make sure it heals properly. It’s good she has owners who care enough about her to get the surgery done! We hope she recovers quickly!

If you like seeing the dogs in maine or just enjoy the wacky photos and stories, please nominate pog and dog for a Portland Phoenix “best local blog” award!!!

Portland!

Yes, this dogs name is Portland, Maine. That’s her full name. For real. I’m pretty sure that rules. Anyway, I was at work, and this doggy came in. She’s three years old and pretty hyper. She was wearing a purple cast. Probably injured while walking on the cobblestones, or fishing for lobster.

I know I’ve been slacking. Now that I’m 30 it’s getting harder to get out there to try to find the best dogs in Maine. Is there still a need for this type of public service, or am I on the wrong path? Oh someone enlighten me! Dogs of the world, send me a message (or leave a comment)!

The first step in becoming a bum involves practicing sitting against a brick wall. If you can’t get used to that, you may want to rethink your career choices.
