  • YOU’RE BEING RIPPED OFF BY THESE PEOPLE

    Two Salty Dogs Pet Outfitters
    Free Shippin' February was a financial disaster forecast by Liana, the accountant I married. And if there's one thing I absolutely HATE is my accountant being right.

  • MAINE RAP HALL OF FAME

    Two Salty Dogs Pet Outfitters
    Besides lobster, blueberries, moose and the highest percentage of men in the nation who look like Santa Claus, Maine is known for its Rap Music. I'm pretty sure that's because the rest of the country moved on from Rap Music to Saprock like Mumford & Sons ages ago. I understand if you like...

  • DON’T LET YER MEAT LOAF

    Two Salty Dogs Pet Outfitters
