Bubba visiting our office

Here is Bubba visiting our office!
We met Bubba during the Brighton All Dogs Play Group.

Bubba recently moved to Boston. He used to live with another dog, and when they got separated he was feeling very alone. New city, new house... Bubba needed new friends, too! To help Bubba to meet new dogs his owner Elisabeth started a meet up group. Bubba was shy at the beginning, but he became every day more social.





Check the Brighton All Dogs Play Group webpage if you think your dog would like to play with Bubba and his friends!
They usually meet at Brookline Playground (pictured below).





They also organize short trips to amazing beaches and parks around Boston.
Here is a cute pic of Bubba that Liz took at the beach.

The Birthday video

The birthday party of the Chihuahua Cucuy as we experienced it!



Read more about Cucuy and her birthday party in the posts below.

Cucuy, sexy and sweet

Amy posted here some great pictures of Cucuy's birthday, the 2 year old Chihuahua we wrote about yesterday.
Here is something you can't miss from her album: Cucuy's sexy nail polish (left)!

She is so cute in her dress (below) that she even looks like Madonna!


Here are some of her pals.


Cucuy is a very expressive dog. If you like Chihuahuas, take a look to more Cucuy's pics in Amy's meetup profile, where this sweet pic is from.

Birthday party for the Chihuahua Cucuy and friends

It was a big day for the small Chihuahua Cucuy when her second birthday was celebrated last Saturday at the Doggy Day Play center. Around ten of her pup friends and meet-up pals from the Boston Chihuahua Meetup Group were invited to join in the festivitites. Cucuy looked like a little princess in her red and black ballerina dress. Her toe nails were painted red for the occasion and she had a silver necklace around her neck that gave her all the attention that a birthday pup deserves. Cucuy and her mom Amy (in the pic) both like Hello Kitty: Amy has a Hello Kitty necklace, and Cucuy is wearing a Hello Kitty pin.

Both pups and their humans enjoyed the party and food and drinks that were provided.


The white cake was for the owner's birthday guests while the red cake was for the dog's. The dogs also had their own peanut butter ice-cream made especially for pets from J.P. Licks!

After singing the birthday song and eating cakes and other goodies it was time to open the presents. Cucuy and Amy have prepared a wish list at 'sPoochies boutique to make easier for the guests to find a great gift for the birthday-pup. Cucuy got fancy clothes, a bag, a life jacket, treats, a framed photo of herself and many toys that all the dogs at the party enjoyed playing with.




You can organize a birthday party for your pet at home yourself or you can ask Rob at Doggie Day in 400 Tremont Street in Boston, MA 02116 to help you. He will arrange and take care of everything from the location to food, games and decorations.

At the end of party, guests could write a little greeting for Cucuy on a big banner on the wall (in the picture Cucuy and Amy in front of the banner).
The party was a lot of fun. Thanks for the invite Amy and Cucuy!

Boston Pug Meet Up!

Last Saturday we went to a pug meet up held at Doggie Day located at 400 Tremont St.
Liz (left) has decided to get a pug and was interesting in finding a reliable breeder. If you have any suggestions, please let us know! Brady (below) stole our hearts with his sweet face and charming personality. It was Brady's first meet-up so he was a little shy and nestled himself in between Silvia and Liz.






Here are some more pictures we took at the March pug meet up.

A dog meet-up at Brookline Avenue Playground

On Sunday morning all kinds of dogs and their owners meet at Brookline Avenue Playground. Elisabeth Carver is here with her dog Bubba and has organized this meet-up yesterday. She is new to Boston and thinks it's great to socialize with other dog owners and dogs in the area. There are new meet-ups every Saturday or Sunday in different parks. Check the next meet-up at Brighton All Dogs Play group!


Turbo is the small chuihuaha sitting on the child's lap. He has just celebrated his fist birthday, he is 1 year old, and it's his first time at a dog meet-up. Little bit shy, the safest place to be is in somebody's arms! In the next picture Silvia takes care of him.

And here is Turbo with our friend and colleague Phil.


Parker (in the picture belove) is also a young dog, and he has never met so many dogs gathered at one time. He is little bit overwhelmed, but the meet up is a great opportunity to get used to other dogs and get socialized.

Take a look at our calendar to see even more meet-ups and events for dogs.
See you next time!

The Italian Greyhound meet up

We decided to get a dog!
Meet ups are one of the best opportunities to understand which breed would match better for us, so today I went to the Italian Greyhound meet-up, at the Doggy Day Playcenter in the South End. Around 25 dogs attended, and for now they are on the list of my favourite dogs (being Italian helped them!).
I met Donna there (left, with her sweet Robin - her husband Jake is behind her), who is an expert on the breed. These dogs are similar to cats for many reasons, she said. Other than elegant, they don't smell and they don't drool. They can jump as high as a cat with their long muscled legs, so they need to play in a place with a high wall, or they can run away.
If a bird is around, they get out of control, and start to run trying to catch it. Many Italian Greyhound owners I spoke with seemed worried about losing their dogs. For this reason, this kind of dog needs a leash all the time, a special kind of leash that fits with their heads.
Their tiny legs can easily get broken, and fixing them can cost up to 3.000$. Also, their feet are delicate and need to be cleaned every day, as these dogs don't normally like shoes (but they do like polish nail a lot!). It is important to wash their feet (during the winter, the salt on the streets of Boston hurts them) and to brush their teeth every evening.

They look like really social dogs, and their owners too!
