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!

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.

This is Chance. Here are the top three songs with the word chance in them.

1. Give Peace a Chance -John Lennon
2. Take a Chance on Me -Abba
3. When You See a Chance, Take It -Steve Winwood

Can you think of any more?

This is a work puppy named biggie. He is gonna be gigantic. I would have named him Fluffy or Stripe. He’s a soft as a pillow, but at 2 months weighs almost as much as Quimby does at 5 months! Does he have what it takes to win dog of the month?

Guess we will just have to wait and see! I’ll be back with a big announcement on Monday!

This is Daisy, or Daisy Marie when she is pooping in places where she’s not supposed to, (which she rarely does) or eating poop she’s not supposed to (which she does often). Okay, I made all that up except the name, but come on, it’s pretty good.

You know, most dogs I come across don’t have any awareness that they are in fact getting their picture taken. They usually just want to either play or they are slightly confused as to why a strange, possibly drunk man is all friendly. Roscoe is a different kind of dog. He belongs to a co-worker, and I have been trying to get his photo for weeks. He simply will not sit still for this. He has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to it. Somehow he knows… and he won’t sit still. Just take a look at his all knowing face in these photos. He must have been a celebrity in a past life, I’m thinking Marilyn Monroe.

This awesome looking boy was out for his lunchtime walk, just like me! His name is Cyrus, and his owner was nice enough to snap this photo! Wicked sweet dog!  He had the best energy of all the dogs I’ve met thus far. He loves the way his leash tastes.

This is a co-workers dog, Floyd. While I would prefer that they be random, I can not bear to go out today as I am severely sunburned. Let me know if you want to see photos of that. Also, most of my co-workers have dogs that are good boys, when they decide to sit still.
