Author Honestly I could tell you a million reasons (excuses) as to why I haven’t been writing that much lately BUT even I am tired of hearing my gosh darn excuses… so I will spare you and jump right into my letter to you all.
First of all I have done a lot of traveling this summer .. the Cape (Falmouth, Chatham) , Rhode Island (had to stay on my grandfathers sailboat ALONE while everyone went to dinner…not cool), my roommates house in South Hadley (got to swim in their pool!) and last but certainly not least to my friend Sydney’s house (a.k.a my moms friend Molly’s house).
I have been having a great summer except I can already tell its coming to an end. Mom has already had some cheerleading meetings and she’s way back into writing her young adult novel as well as her web design. BOORRIINNGG!!
I must share this article with you! It is amazing… wish I could take credit for it but Izzy, my buddy (her dad is my moms friend) sent it to me!
Check it out pups and guardians!! It is the best restaurants to dine in with your mom, dad, babysitter… you get the point! Hope to see you at one of these!

I would have written earlier but I have been exhausted since my long fourth of July weekend. Luckily my mom didn’t even bring my new toy because I had more than enough to do. I went to the Centerville, Cape Cod on Saturday where I got to run around outside and play with my friend Wesley. He’s just 9 months old so he was a little friskier than me. He wore me out but I loved it!
On Sunday we went to Chatham, Cape Cod and stayed the night there. At this house there was a golden retriever who was older than me. This time I wore him out! I did fall into the deflatable pool when I was running away from him. It made everyone laugh … not me!
Both of the couple we stayed with in Chatham had babies. George and Eliza are the babies names but they can walk and kind of talk. They were fun to play with also and I even let them kind of walk me…. which basically meant they held my leash and pulled a few times and swatted me on the head. I didn’t mind though.
Monday we went to my grandfather’s boat in Newport for the day. Not much playing there but I was exhausted so I didn’t mind. I did mind being left on the boat in my cage so Willy, my mom, my roommate and my grandfather could go out for a LONG lunch but what can ya do…
Monday night were the fireworks in Boston and man were they loud!! Me and my mom were already in bed and I put my paws over my ears and climbed under the covers. My mom laughed at me.
My mom doesn’t think I know that she’s going away tomorrow but I totally do. I can tell because of the errands we have been running. We had to go to three shoe stores and let me tell you my mom never goes shoe shopping. I am glad to report that Intermix, Cuoio, and Aldo are pet friendly. Aldo dealt with me but not sure they loved having me but the other two stores LOVED me!! So if your mom needs to go shopping these places are happy to have you come along! Not sure what other errands we are running today but I will keep you posted!!
Did you have a good fourth of july weekend?

First Night on the Cape
With the long weekend coming up my mom decided to buy me a new toy since we will be traveling a lot. At first I looked at her like she was crazy but then she started squeaking the squirrels that were hidden this tree like thing. I watched as she took them out and then she threw them all. I ran as fast as I could to get the squeaky (somewhat annoying) squirrels. Wouldn’t you know it that after I got them and brought them back to her she stuffed them all inside that damn tree like thing. I was mad! But then she stuck her hand in squeezed a squirrel and threw the whole tree thing with the squirrels still inside. That’s when I figured it out! I had to get those damn squirrels out!! Honestly the most fun I have had by myself in a long time. You need to tell your parents to get you this!! AMAZING!!
The sun is out, my mom has a more time on her hands which means I have can blog and explore more! Woo hoo… I have so much to catch you up on that I don’t even know where to start. The biggest thing is that I don’t have to stay in my cage anymore when my mom goes out! I could tell she was worried but after the millionth time of me hiding under the bed when she was leaving she got it. I didn’t want to go in the cage… I’m a big pup now.
I got groomed yesterday at pawsh (got my summer haircut) and as always it was great. The groomers are getting busy so I recommend making an appointment soon… too hot for all that fur!
Today at the post office my mom was talking to this really nice lady who does a lot of fundraisers for Avon Breast Cancer and their next fundraisers will include us (dogs). She’s going to email my mom the information so stay tuned for it.
Hi Everyone,
I hope you all had a great valentines day! I know I did. The weather was actually nice in Boston and my mom took me to Pawsh Dog Spa and Boutique (remember if you subscribe to my newsletter you will receive a coupon to Pawsh). I got to pick out a new harness and lead for myself. They had so many and it was hard to choose but after trying many different ones on I choose a dark brown one with a hunter green stripe. It is made by Trish Hampton and I love it!
Now the most exciting thing ever happened over the weekend. Get ready for this! So when we got the new couches the old ottoman got moved into my room. My mom kept showing (which was rather hilarious) how I could jump onto the ottoman and then I could get onto the bed from there. Well I already knew that I’m not stupid but I decided to play dumb and kept having her continue to pick me up and put me on the bed as usual.
On Saturday my mom went out and I was home with my roommate. I could tell she was getting ready to go out also which made me get completely flustered and without thinking I jumped onto the ottoman and then the bed.
Needless to say my roommate caught me and then told my mom later that night. My mom looked like she was crying when she heard the news. She was so proud of me! Guess I should have shown her from day one! Me and my roommate kept running from the living room into my bedroom and jumping onto the bed together showing my mom. It was so fun and to be honest I don’t know who was having more fun me or my roommate hehe. My mom was laughing and I swear I saw happy tears in her eyes!

Have you been outside yet? It is crazy out there. My mom hates it BUT I love it! The snow is super thick and deep. It is perfect for digging, hiding, running around in etc. The best part is that the crazy people and their not pet friendly salt haven’t gotten out there yet. I know it won’t be long though and then my snow day will be over. I have a new product though that should protect me from the evil salt it is called Paw-stick! I highly recommend it and it is so much easier than having to wear those booties. Does your mom keep trying to put them on you too? She gets so frustrated when my paws won’t go in and I am like Hello mom I am a dog and I am not meant to wear shoes!! Jeez…. well go enjoy the snow and I will let you know how the Paw-stick holds up!!

PS- Check out my new friend Boomer Tilden! His picture is under my friends!
Drying off from my latest romp in the snow!
WOW… I haven’t had a chance to write in so long and I apologize! My new years resolution was to write more so please check back soon for new and exciting stories. Also now that my paws are free of all the salt (can people please use pet friendly salt when it snows … geez) I will be back investigating the stores, parks, and more of Boston, MA.
Hi,
As you all know my mom isn’t much of a sports person which means I never watch sports. I never really cared until yesterday when I found out what I have been missing! My mom and roommate had to go to some Horse Event where they were helping my roommates father’s company who had a booth at the event. Since my mom didn’t want to leave me alone for the whole day (8am – 8pm) she asked Willy to watch me. At first I was a little hesitant but I had been there before with my mom sooo I wasn’t too nervous.
Well I ended up having such a great day! I watched football, basketball and more! We also went out a lot! Now I am exhausted but I had a blast. I also wanted to tell you guys that my mom is helping the amazing Rose, dog walker, design her new dog line and website so please check back for more! You won’t want to miss it!
PS- Thank you so much Willy for spending the day with me and teaching me sports!
Taking a quick nap at Willys

Last night I was the judge at the Pawsh Dog Boutique and Salon Halloween Costume Party. I had such a great time but it really tuckered me out!
After the party!
There was so much going on and at one point I got overwhelmed and had to sit in my mom’s lap for awhile and regroup. The other judge and I believe there were about 50 dogs in total that came to the party! It was so nice of Nancy and Mike (the owner’s of Pawsh) to put the event on. They had music playing, a animal communicator Dawn Carr, professional photographer Fred Levy and they provided food for everyone… pizza for my mom and biscuits for me! There were so many fabulous costumes! Thank god I was isn’t in the contest because I would have hated to compete against everyone.
Taking one last look at all the costumes!
We had a hard time picking just 3 winners…but here they are (drum-roll please):
Summer as Lady Ga-Ga in her “meat dress” with Duke working security
Emma the poodle in her 50′s Poodle Skirt
3rd Place
Lola as the Angel of Death
