While unseasonable, the lack of snow certainly makes it easy to get out and do errands! And it is certainly pleasant for taking walks as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\">Last winter we inherited a dog, Spot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/images\/stories\/Spot\/spot-500.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Spot is probably a bearded collie mix. He is around 90 lb. When he arrived he was missing a lot of hair, including most off of his tummy, feet, and tail. He has a systemic yeast infection, and has been exposed to Lyme disease. He was a mess.<\/p>\n<p>Most of his issues are under control, and he is now at home here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\">His main preoccupation is squirrels.<br \/>\nHe would like to herd them.<br \/>\nIf he could climb a tree to do so he would!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/images\/stories\/Spot\/spot-500-squirrel.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\">Digging to get to them works as well!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/images\/stories\/Spot\/spot-500-dig2.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/images\/stories\/Spot\/spot-500-dig.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\">At first having Spot was like having a two year old!<br \/>\nBut, as he has settled in, he has calmed down&#8230;<br \/>\nthank goodness!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/images\/stories\/Spot\/spot-500-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In Maine many beaches are closed to pets during the summer season. But, come November they are open for pets. About a month ago I started going down to one of the beaches nearby.
