Nearly anyone who has ever had puppies or dogs can relate to “The Zoomies.”
The zoomies are defined as those sudden bursts of pent-up energy that cause dogs to run at breakneck speeds back and forth or around and around, or sometimes in a tight little circle.
Twinkling lights, sparkly tinsel, brightly colored garland, and delicate ornaments — what’s not to love about holiday decorations? My previous kitty, “Willie,” was so interested anytime the bow box came out of the closet. Once the tree was up he couldn’t get enough of poking his nose in boxes, pulling out tissue paper — and he LOVED ribbon.
Late yesterday there was a knock on the door. It was a young lady looking for help for a cat she and her friend had been given and asked to dispose of.
The cat was in desperate need of medical attention. She had already been declined for assistance at the first place she went. I said yes, of course, and I told her I would get her a carrier.
This crazy dog lady is back with a new story. I know, that’s all I seem to write about is dogs, dogs, dogs. What can I say? Small dogs, big dogs, all dogs — I love them all. I love all animals but dogs are my favorite. I have been a dog lover since I was a kid. There is nothing like being loved by a dog and them loving you back.
As we reflect on our Thanksgiving celebrations, all of us at the Central Aroostook Humane Society couldn’t be more thankful for the many supporters that we have, who do so much for the animals and our organization.
The snow and the cold weather has arrived. If we listen to everyone it is going to be a difficult winter.
Everyone who enjoys the company of a dog knows that sometimes dogs have strange behaviors. They may arrive in your life with the behaviors already in place, or perhaps they are adopted as a puppy and develop a behavior young.
Happy fall to you all. It has been a super beautiful one so far. The harvest has gone well and the temperatures have remained warm, so enjoy these rare days because before long we will be into the winter months, and we all know what that means.
We thought we would give everyone an update on IHOP the little kitten we took in with the paralyzed tail and foot.
What a beautiful fall we are having. We hope you and your furry friends have been able to go on long walks enjoying all these “bonus days.”
Even though the pandemic has put an unexpected cramp in most of our lives, we are all starting to get a glimpse of our past “normal” life reappearing. There will definitely be the usual ghosts, goblins and superheroes out on the prowl on Halloween night.
