One way to survive a ridiculously snowy Boston winter is to follow the advice of our furry, fun-loving companions like Finn, “Stop shoveling the snow and start playing in it!”
You might argue that at one year of age Finn is still a pup and always wants to play. But isn’t that the point? When you’re young, or think young, a snow drift is where you stick your nose for a frosty frolic.
Finn tried it and now can’t stop. This guy loves the stuff! He’ll roll, run, romp, and retrieve until he’s exhausted. There’s always another spot that needs investigating and bounding there is half the fun.
Of course, no matter what your age, there has to be an occasional time out. Although … just because Finn seems to be resting, this rascal could be planning his next move.
Here’s hoping Finn will be an inspiration to us all. The next time there’s a fresh coating of snow, before you reach for that shovel, reach for the leash and take your Sunday dog out to play – assuming the drifts will let you open the door.

by Boston Globe TV critic Matthew Gilbert was a hit with me and with many of my dog loving friends. Matthew was not a dog person until his husband convinced him that they needed a dog in their life. And, he was not much of a people person until he became part of the community at a dog park. The book is a tale of the transition and what he describes as, “… the strange, wonderful, neurotic, and eccentric dog people who gather daily at Amory Park, overlooking Boston.”

for my dogs was made for very practical reasons. The round collar does less damage to Westie fur and the round leash is easier on my hands if I grab it. What’s more, while leather may be an expensive initial purchase, these items last for years.
