Laughter: The best medicine
PET BULLETIN
‘Mews and Yips’ from the Central Aroostook Humane Society

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s! I had a great holiday just chillin’ at home with my husband and fur babies.
The Central Aroostook Humane Society has been busy, as always. We have had some rescue dogs from Fort Kent come in, in pretty bad shape physically and medically.
The girls are wonderful with them and have worked hard grooming, clipping and seeing to their needs as much as possible. They will all be evaluated by our local vets and our hope is to bring them back to being healthy and happy in a new, loving home. There have been those who have reached out to donate towards their expenses and we so appreciate that. We welcome any financial help that will see that these dogs get the medical care that is needed. We will keep you updated on their progress!
On a lighter note I was looking through one of my dog books, “Planet Dog,” a “doglopedia” by Sandra and Harry Choron, and started reading and laughing out loud on the topic “Things about Humans That Annoy Dogs.” I hope you enjoy this as much as I did:
• Blaming your farts on me — not funny!
• Yelling at me for barking — I’M a freaking dog, you idiot!
• How you naively believe that the cat isn’t all over everything while you’re out of the house — Have you ever noticed your toothbrush smells like kitty litter?
• Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out — whose walk is this anyway?
• Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose — just stop it.
• Yelling at me for rubbing my butt on your carpet — why else did you buy carpet?
• Dog sweaters — have you noticed I have fur?
• Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons — now you know why we chew your stuff up when you’re not home.
• Taking me to the vet for “the big snip,” then acting surprised when I freak out every time we go back.
• Leaving the toilet seat down — how else am I going to get a cool drink of water?
• The fake fetch throw — you fooled a dog, what a proud moment for someone; not funny!
• Invisible fences — why do you insist on screwing with us? To my knowledge dogs have yet to solve the visible fence problem.
I thought these sayings were funny, hope they added some humor to your day.
Come visit us at the CAHS and find your very own fur baby to love. We have some wonderful animals there looking for that forever home. Check us out on petfinders.com and Facebook. Please be a responsible pet owner, spay and neuter your pets.
