PUPDATE: OWNERS HAVE BEEN FOUND ❤️

Any ideas folks? Seen him around? License tag isn't state of Maine (2023 is in the shape of a blue pawprint). So likely he's a visitor. I'll send out an email blast to my Harpswell client list and see if we can get any leads.

UPDATE: Owners found and he's on his way home - yah!!

FOUND DOG! This handsome boy was just found on Mountain Road. If you recognize him please contact 1-800-501-1111 with any information. Thank you.

Winston smiling for his picture 😁 He's such a goofy goof that always makes me smile, too!

Hello, I've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty! Hello? 🤣

One technique I use to build trust with cats, specifically, is like that funny 90% 10% kissing scene from the movie Hitch 🤣 I close the space between my hand and their face 90% of the way and then let THEM decide whether they want the 10% gap filled. The cat is deciding how much contact to have with my hand, not me. Phantom met my 90 with her 10 🥰🐾

Underneath that sprinkler mist is Finley getting cooled off at home after we had a muggy, hot slog around the neighborhood.

PSA portion if you like that kind of thing, lol: While dogs do have sweat glands, they mainly regulate their body temperature through panting. If their panting seems excessive or uncontrollable, be alert! It could be the first warning sign of trouble. On these really oppressive hot days, I am paying VERY close attention to the dogs I walk for signs of heat exhaustion (or worse). We take breaks during our walks. We don't just go go go, even if they are a go go go kinda dog! I also like to leave time at the end of my visits for a cool down activity where I can observe them for a good 5 minutes or more and see that they are comfortable before I leave.
If you don't have a garden hose with a sprinkler function like lucky Finley here, even just laying on cool shaded grass or on a tile floor can drop a dog's body temperature safely and gradually. In this picture, I am providing a fine mist that Finley can CHOOSE to stay under or walk through. I'm not dousing him in a cold deluge (which is also not good). And bonus for ME, I spray MYSELF down too 🥵 🤣

Mickey & Remy on a walk! Remy is wearing what I call his "cheetah wrap" (although, I guess it's more leopard than cheetah, lol) and what his mom jokes is his "power outfit" 🤣 So cute! Remy gets anxious sometimes and similar to the thundershirts we know, sometimes just having any shirt on gives him the comforting hug he needs to feel more confident❤️🐆

Here is the beautiful Madison demonstrating an excellent way to reduce fear of the pet carrier! You make it an every day option that your pet can snuggle in. When they've chosen for themselves over and over to enter the pet carrier in a no-stress environment, they won't be concerned on the day that YOU have to place them in there for a purpose 😊🐾

Finley and I taking a mini-Dogs About Town Adventure at Mitchell Field. I love it when my office looks like this and my coworker looks like Finley 🥰😄 Want your dog to have a local trail walk? Learn more about Dogs About Town on my website www.saltydogpet.com

Which one is the lambchop in this picture?? Junior and I play with one of his squeakies. And by play, I mean we both hold onto the toy while he squeaks it over and over with his jaw🤣

Not the LEATHER, Winnie!!!!

Normally, I don't like to clog up my Salty Dog page with memes but this one always makes me LOL when it comes across my feed. Guilty as charged 🤣

Moments before, there was a groundhog in this very spot before it darted to safety. Bailey was trying to sniff it out 😊🐾

In the gloomy days of our rainy, foggy summer, a little ray of sunshine from a client mom 💛💐 These rode around in my cup holder for days as a traveled to each job site 🐾

Myrtle!!!!!!! Oh my heart! I hadn't seen her since last year! Just as sweet as ever and we didn't miss a beat in our lovefest 💜

Lady & Tramp think they are going to convince me to let them outside. Nope! Not on my watch, girls. Not.On.My.Watch. 🤣🐾

Where I can, I like to leave "cat TV" on sleep timer for the kitties I care for. There are great videos to stream with just non-stop birds and small animals for the cats to watch and listen to. It helps engage their minds during long absences.

Winston and I play ball! And by play, I mean Winston holds the ball in his mouth and runs around with it while I watch because he won't give it, lol!

Normally, Junior gets walked on his own property with just a sports collar. But this day he went rogue and tried to invite himself over to breakfast at the neighbors! All the while ignoring my beeps from the hand remote. Go rogue at breakfast, get leashed at lunch 🤣🤣 Look at his face!! Indignant and mischievous 🤣🤣 I love him so much❤️
