It’s Not Yappy Hour, It’s Yappier Hour @Liberty Hotel
The very pet friendly Liberty Hotel sets up an outside bar in their enclosed courtyard for dogs and their owners. Drinks and appetizers were served among a unique mix of romping pooches and Bostonians. As I have heard great things about The Liberty from others regarding the quality of cocktail and conversation, I had high expectations already. I was, however, unsure how Moose our Pointer would fit in.
Acclimate Your Boston Dog to City Life
Dogs living in Boston, need a set of special skills as they navigate the mean streets of Boston. Well, OK, the streets are not that mean, but to a young pup or dog new to the city, the streets can be pretty intimidating. In addition to the hustle and bustle of cars and people, your [...]

It is the Holiday Season and I am looking forward to attending some pet friendly holiday events in Boston where my dog is welcome as well. During Halloween we attended some fantastic parades and benefits for not just the Boston dog world but other causes which deserve attention too. This post will be continually updated [...]
Learn About Dogs at The Dog Show
A long time ago my father used to show a beautiful Komondor named "Indo", owned by Dr. Marion Levy, of Princeton University. At the time Komondorok were a very rare breed to be seen in Boston. These dogs are originally bred in Hungary for the task of guarding livestock. These are a very friendly, intelligent [...]

There are a number of very cool events happening this coming weekend, enough so, I thought I would write an article about everything going on in Boston that is pet friendly. If you know of something [...]

Word on the street said there would be a great turn out from the Charlestown dog community and the dog costume party "Should be a Howl". It turns out the word on the street was [...]

2009 Pawvilion “Furball” Charity Dance
Personally I like social events that are wrapped around a good cause (The Animal Rescue League of Boston). I met Margie at a charity event four years ago, karma might be funny like that, and remain a fan of charity events. Regardless, September 24th is a night to save for socializing with others who care dearly for pets that are not as fortunate as your dog or mine. To sweeten the deal they are throwing a 70's dance party at the Pavilion located in Boston's Seaport District.
