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!

Help Ronan Park in Dorchester!

Some dogs are really lucky: here is Buckner, a 7-year-old greyhound. His mom Paige is working hard to get him a fenced-in park in Ronan Park, in Dorchester, MA so he can run free (off-leash). The battle for off-leash parks involves more neighborhoods than just Dorchester. To help this cause, visit the website.
http://www.rodogrun.org/.
The best time to take your dog to Ronan Park is on a nice sunny weekend evening between 4 and 6pm. There will certainly be a few people out with their dogs. As Paige told us, dogs have fairly strict leash laws. Other parks in the area include Dorchester Park and Pope John Paul Park which is on the Neponset River.

Join in the festivities by participating in the Dorchester Day Parade on June 3, 2007!
Details and sign-up information can be found at: http://www.rodogrun.org/parade.htm/

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.
