CHESS KING ON THE HOT DOG BOAT - by Max

Hi there, Max here! I am just fine thank you! Don writes a lot about what a pain in the butt I am and he’s absolutely correct. If your dog isn’t a big pain in the butt then he’s not doing his job. Just think, if you woke up tomorrow and switched places with...

Hi there, I’m Big Buddy. This month is my turn to write the blog. I hope I don’t let you all down! I got very scared in November because I was abandoned by Don and Liana. I get left alone a lot but this time I was abandoned at the cabin. It was very,...

Salutations, quislings. It is I, your Supreme Canine Commander in Chief - Augustus. I am ready to mesmerize you with my unique and compelling takes on Boothbay Harbor Dog Life.

BAD DAYS TO BE A BLACK HOT DOG - by Max

See that video up there? That’s when I’m happy - when there’s tons of snow, the temperature is reasonably below zero, there are hundreds of miles of snowmobile trails to walk, and we are surrounded by lots of snowy hillsides for me to slide down on my belly and butt. Sure, in the summer...

TWO POOPS GALOOT - by Buddy

Hi everyone! It’s me, Big Smart Buddy. I didn’t win the Musical Chairs at the Mutt Scrub this year, but thanks for asking. I am almost 13, and Auggie is right. I am an old dog and all I want to do is sit or lie down. It’s out of the fast lane and...

THE MONGREL SCOUR 2018 - by Auggie

Salutations, Lackeys. Your rewards are forthcoming and wondrous. Every year the Bipeds “do” this thing called the Mutt Scrub. The cutesy name is designed to elicit heartwarming images of faithful canines being lovingly washed by ever-adoring owners. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Mutt Scrub (Or as I call it, "The Mongel...

LOVE LETTERS TO THE EDGE - by Don

Have you ever been from away and wanted to correct the Boothbay Region's primitive ways or vindicate grievances you have suffered at the hands of the region's ignorant peasantry? It can be incredibly hard to drill your point into the thick local skulls when you have suffered so much. You also need to get...

THE PECULIAR RULES OF PEOPLE - by Max

Max here. I am just fine, thank you! Lots of people don't know that my full name is “Maximus Gary Kingsbury.” In Latin, that means “The Greatest Gary Kingsbury” and I suppose that I am. When I Googled Gary Kingsbury, all I got was a bunch of pictures of Karen Kingsbury the romance novelist....
