Our doggie daycare is now open for business!   We are still taking applications & conducting temperament screenings. We are also still offering our pet sitting service.  We are excited about these changes.  If you have any questions just let us know at petworksofme@yahoo.com.

Where wags come first!

Another new thing we've got going on is our fostering program through Lucky Pup Rescue.  Our first foster dog, Murphy was adopted in less than 2 weeks.  We have fostered 6 dogs in all so far and hope to be able to foster many more dogs in the near future & help them find their forever homes in Maine.  To see all adoptable dogs check out: http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/ME89.html  We are offering a free pet sit visit or day of daycare with every dog adopted through Lucky Pup Rescue (in our coverage area).

Update: David has been adopted! There are lots of other dogs available for adoption & still need to find their forever homes, however.  Please check out Lucky Pup Rescue's link above or go to : www.luckypuprescue.org.

David is our current foster dog.  If you are interested in him check out his page: http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=14427179

JUST A DOG

From time to time people tell me, "Lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "That's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, time spent, or costs involved for "Just a dog." Some of my proudest moments have come about with "Just a dog." Many hours have passed with my only company being "Just a dog," and not once have I felt slighted. Some of my saddest moments were brought about by "Just a dog." In those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "Just a dog" provided comfort and purpose to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it's "Just a dog," you will probably understand phrases like "Just a friend," "Just a sunrise," or "Just a promise." "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person. Because of "Just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly into the future.

For me and folks like me, it's not "Just a dog." It's an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment. "Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday people can understand it's not "Just a dog." It's the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "Just a man or woman."

So next time you hear the phrase "Just a dog," smile, because they "Just Don't Understand."
