If ever a pet product was given the wrong name, this has got to be it.
.
.
Do these dogs look happy to you?
.
.
I’m going with no.
.
.
The swaddling effect may calm them but if you think that’s a joyful portrait, I fear for the well being of your significant other.
.
.
This cat is neither happy nor sleeping peacefully in his human enforced hoodie cocoon.
He is quietly and methodically planning your painful demise.
Beware.
.

My neighbors are the helpful sort and with the whiplash weather we’ve been having lately, everyone’s been posting ice charts.
.
.
Mainers love to test the ice, but knowing your limits is important.
.
.
Very lucky indeed. He’s a gorgeous fellow.

A tarp wrapped plywood circle in the woods. But look, it has a porch! What a deal.
.

The owner lives two doors down and says Junior here goes wherever the belly rubs lead him.

I love our local Agway and the man who runs it. I go there regularly for bird seed, deer food and gardening supplies. And while the staff is always helpful and friendly… this week they were extra special.
.
.
Best.
.
.
Customer.
.
.
Service…. ever!
.
.
Yes, it’s true.
The Maine state government has finally gotten around to taxing your dog’s balls.
.
.
Beware “fully equipped” friends.
You could be next.

I had to do a double take on this one. Although holiday poop gift ideas wouldn’t be an odd addition to my news feed at this point… that’s actually actually a shrimp poop removing tool.
And who doesn’t want to find one of those in their stocking Christmas morning?
.

2020 is my husband.
While I carry a washable cloth mask in my purse, he uses those blue paper things and I find them hanging everywhere. Rear view mirror, stick shift, hat rack, door knobs etc.
Sanitary it’s not.

Yours truly was born in New Jersey and my late father was Vice President of a Wall Street firm. We spent a lot of time in the city…. and I never ceased to be amazed at the resiliency of New Yorkers.
They adapt and barrel through life with a determination to be admired.
Case in point? The new law stating only dogs who fit in a bag will be allowed on the subway.
New Yorkers heard….
And in true Big Apple fashion, adapted.
.
.
What I love most about these pictures? Even the dogs are New Yorkers.
.
.
Best. Use. Of. L.L. Bean bag. Ever.
.
.
.
.
.
And while all of those dog in bag shots are wonderful?
I think this last one wins the prize.
.
.
🤣

We live on a river, hence my blog name.
.
.
Apparently Maggie lives on the river as well.

There was an outdoor wedding last weekend. If only I’d known they were taking requests.
.
.
We have once weekly trash pick up at our house, $2.50 a bag…. But everything else has to go to the recycle barn. Decades ago when it was realized people were throwing out perfectly useable items, an idea was born.
While I don’t shop at the “Gift Store”, my husband has been known to come home with more than he went with.
😬

This is our neighbor across the road. His fields are looking pretty spiffy…. And oh! That fresh ginger.
❤️
.
.
You never know what’s going to turn up on my little town’s Facebook page. It could be relevant community news….
.
.
Or not.
.
.
Our UPS guy totally rocks. He leaves dog biscuits for all the canine residents whether they’re barking at him or not.
.
.
See? You can’t even give that stuff away.
.
.
If there are synchronized dancing peppers wearing sombreros? I’m totally going next week.
.
.
I vote no.
.
.
Annoying alliteration aside….
.
.
The very idea of this is ridiculous.
.
.
I’ve got news for you people… doggie doo is biodegradable. Let Fido poop under the elm tree. No septic tank required .
.
.
In fairness to my dog loving readers who must cringe at the plethora of cat posts on my page … here’s one for you.
.
.
Wondering what your next birthday or Christmas gift to Fido should be?
.
.
Mr. Poops. Because you can never go wrong with a morose black turd.
.
.
No need to thank me. The thought of Mr. Poop happily squeaking his way through your house is all the gratitude I need.

Today is Father’s Day and it’s time to honor dear old dad. The man who’s always got your back. The grill master. The king of lame jokes. The guy who thinks he rocks that Members Only jacket. And what better way to say you love and appreciate dad than a gift?
Okay, so the father in question doesn’t actually have human children? No problem. I’ve got you covered.
.
.
Coffee mugs from your furry four footed overlord.
.
.
And in case you think we’re too cat-centric here at River’s World…
.
.
There. Proof positive there’s a perfect gift for every dad.
