According to the Veterinary Clinic in Brunswick, they've been getting a lot of calls about these spots that look like awful tick bites! They are not... With Memorial Day weekend upon us, I think of two things. One is that you never know what you'll get from the weather. You could be looking at the most beautiful weekend ever, or (most likely) there will be at least a day of rain.

Or you could always try to win the war. Good luck with that.

Summer Safety Tips for Pet Parents from your ACO
Good morning Woolwich, ME from your animal control officer:) With summer well under way I wanted to provide some helpful reminders for our pets. If you’re unaware we do have a leash law in Woolwich which is put in place for the safety of your animal and others. This means your dogs must stay on your property or be under your control, however things happen and pets escape once in a while, especially this time of year and my priority is to help you! So please contact me immediately if this happens so we can spread the word and get your pet home safely! Please call or text with any questions or concerns (I generally only use Facebook for lost or found pets so I may not see messages or comments). Thank you all so much and have a lovely day!
