Photos Blades on Hikes

Where in Maine? As a kid we used to go to Wayne, Maine for summer vacation. No stop lights, the Post Office was also the Barber Shop and Ice Cream store, one gas station, and the General Store had a sign that said "If we Don't have It, You Do Not Need It". John

We're in one of the more populated cities, just south of Portland - once you go north of Agusta, it seems most of the towns are as you experienced - I've only been here a few years, so still loads to explore.

He developed a "hot spot" about 6 weeks ago, wouldn't leave it alone, chewed all the hair and skin off, and a week in a cone (we do the inflated doughnut) and he was okay - just have to let his hair grow back in, and change color to match when the sun comes back.. in May 2026, lol.

Very few.. we had to take to a different area given how soggy it was/is - as I don't like trashing trails when they're super muddy.

He seemed happy enough, even with his coat on:

LOL!!

Zeek loves chasing acorns, even more than pine cones, just a low yield year - they were every where last year - they work so much better as a chase, and I make him find the one with my sent on it - he'll crunch them and drop, never eats them.
