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...

Max here! I am just fine, thank you! Did you vote for us as the best Maine Pet Store? No? DO IT NOW! Do it NOW!!!!!!!!!!! Don always jokes that if we don't win he'll have to give one of us dogs up to medical testing just to make ends meet. But I'm not...
WONDER NOT, GENTLE SUBURBANITE - by Auggie
My Name is Augustus. My friends may call me "Auggie" or "Aug Dog." Only my most intimate acquaintances may call me "Auggie Doggie." You most certainly may NOT call me "Hoggie" or "Hog Dog."

THE BUDDY OF MY BUDDY IS COAL'S FRIEND - by Coal
Hi there, I'm Coal the fuzzy black lab at the shop who likes food, long walks on the beach, pina coladas and getting caught in the rain. I'm not into yoga, and yes, I have half a brain. And for those of you who got that song reference without web-help - congratulations! Lately things...
