Dear Fellow Dog Friends,

The south Boston bark park is awful! The floor is covered with little stones that instantly hurt her cute little feet. The size is smaller then most average dog parka and there is minimal parking.

The South End dog park is still the best in the city.

From,

Dog Carrier- Thanks Titus & Erin

November 7th, 2009

Hi guys,

I hope everyone is having a great weekend and usually I don’t write much over the weekends but this is important. My mom received an email last week from her friend Erin and didn’t share with me until now. She probably didn’t want me to use the computer since she has to get her 1500 words a day in. Well Erin’s dog (Titus) is my friend and he was the one who came across this amazing discovery. He found out about from Daily Candy- http://www.dailycandy.com/online/article/76895/Pup-to-Go-Dog-Carrier. Basically it is a Baby Bjorn for dogs! Amazing right?

Here is the link if you want to show your parents. Could be a good holiday present??

Sorry for not writing the past few days but I have been getting settled back at home as well as being on the lookout for any signs of my mom going away again. She sure did trick me last time! Gotta stay on my paws!

Last night was Halloween and my roommate and mom took me out to see all the kids. My mom attempted to make an old Halloween banner from her party last year into a bandanna for me but I was not having it! Please don’t tie things around my neck, I barked at her. So my roommate and my mom decided to make me wear this way too small Red Sox jacket! They told me everyone would be wearing costumes and I guess they had decided this was my costume. Oh Tan Man you look so cute, they kept saying.

What I wanted to know was why aren’t they wearing costumes? I was not happy with this whole costume thing and once we got outside they FINALLY noticed just how small the jacket really was on me. I couldn’t even walk in it. Luckily they took me out of it (it took both of them to get me out of this jacket) and I was able to run/walk/prance again. It was fun and a little scary. I wanted to go and get food at all the houses but my mom told me it wasn’t for dogs only kids. Why not? Can’t they also give out dog food?

When we got home I was a little nervous that they my go out but so far I had seen no signs to make me worry. They both put on pajamas and sat on the couch. Now I knew I was golden… they were staying in! I was so happy! We all hung out, ate food, and watched movies! It was a great night!

Please send me any pictures of you in your costume or your friends costumes! Can’t wait to see them….

Where are you going?

October 28th, 2009

Tan Man and I just did a one block lap…he saw some other dogs and was quite interested.  Lots of kids out playing too.  He gets excited and starts jumping!  I used the new expandable leash so he can get a little running room but  I still say he’d make a good sled dog by the way he pulls!

All is well.  Have a blast!

Love,

Bev

My mom left me! I had a bad feeling on Wednesday night when she began packing a rather large bag for herself. In the morning I was so tired but I woke right up when I saw my crate being taken to the car along with a lot of my stuff. Next thing I knew we were at Matts moms house. I like hanging out there so I was running around, playing, etc. I had no clue that in a few minutes my mom and Matt were leaving for Florida  Meghan’s wedding and I was staying here.

When they left I ran to the door and started barking and whimpering. I guess my mom was really sad and made Matt call to make sure I was okay even though I had just left me. Up top is the email Matt’s mom (Bev) sent to my mom and Matt as they were boarding the plane. I think my mom was having just as hard a time as I was. Monica (Mason’s mom, my other aunt) kept calling my mom to make sure she was okay. When she left Mason for the first time she was really sad so she could relate to how my mom was feeling.

Mom was gone for a lot of days! She left Thursday morning and didn’t pick me up until the following Tuesday night. I am not even sure how many days that is but I know it was more than one!

I ended up having a lot of fun with Bev and her boyfriend Stephen. I went to the Cape and got to run around, hung out with Matt’s grandparents one day, took a lot of walks, and even went to work with Bev one day. The first night I was a little nervous that they wouldn’t let me sleep in the bed and I hate sleeping alone. Luckily they let me sleep at their feet after that I knew I was in good hands.

My mom had an amazing time as well and she said that Meghan was the most beautiful bride. Next time she goes to Florida she promises to take me!

Mom came and picked me up last night. I was so excited I ran and jumped on her as soon as I saw her. I licked her face and kept jumping on her. I was so excited. Then I did the same to Matt and when we got home I did the same to my Roomie. Now I am on the couch and my mom is unpacking. It is a rainy day in Boston, gross!

All in all the trip went well for me and my mom. Thank you Bev and Stephen for taking such great care of me! I had a blast with you guys and can’t wait to see you again soon!!
