SCRAPS, SCRUBS, BERRIES & BUDDIES - by Max
Max Here! I am just fine. Thank You! For those of you who expected Buddy to be writing this blog because it was his turn, he's asked me to tell you that he is completely exhausted from winning the Doggie Musical Chairs at the Mutt Scrub. It was a huge achievement for the old...
BLITZKRIEG BIRTHDAY MANIFESTO - by Auggie
I am Augustus Megatron Bulldozer. If you do exactly as I say, EXACTLY...... you may stand a chance of leaving Boothbay Harbor alive this summer. As so many of you know, my birthday is on July 5th. I will be turning four in dog years, but in human years I'll be turning 28 -...
THE BREAKFASTS AND THE DOGMANITY - by Coal
We're used to a lot of craziness around Chez Salty. But you will need to suspend disbelief when I tell you what befell us 4 Good Dogs on the weekend of May 2nd. The day started out normally enough. A great day of treats and belly rubs for us boys at the shop while...
HIGH FIVIN' THE NIGHT AWAY - by Big Buddy.
My name is Buddy and this is my first time writing on the Blog. Or anything for that matter. I hope I don't let you all down! All the other dogs have been asking me to write. I think they don't want to write as much. Except for Auggie. He writes a lot. And...

WONDER NOT, GENTLE SUBURBANITE - by Auggie

And "Hawggie Dawggie" is out of the question. There will be grave consequences should you cross that line. You know...
THE BIG ONE - by Max
Hi There! I'm Max. I'm just fine, thank you! I finally got time at the computer because Don is out bringing in the rest of the wood pile before the BIG STORM tomorrow buries it all until next June. He wasn't happy about having to do it either, that salty old cuss! It's good...
COAL IN YOUR STOCKING - by Coal
Hi there, I'm Coal the fuzzy 11-year old lab at the store. My muzzle is getting pretty gray. Thank you for not reminding me of that. I still feel 2 years old. A lot of you have been coming into the shop to say hello to me and I am nowhere to be found....
AUGGIE'S REIGN DEER OF TERROR - by Auggie
I am Augustus. You should address me as such. See that you do in future, and your past transgressions shall be forgotten. My intention was to write a heartwarming account of the "True Meaning of Christmas" using the adopt-o-dogs Buddy and Coal as my pity-vehicles because the Christmas topic has never been satisfactorily addressed....
