Summer Events with Your Own Sunday Dog

Outdoor summer events can be fun to share with your pup as long as you make sure the event is safe and comfortable for your dog and that he will be a great ambassador for canines while in attendance.

Our little Maggie Mae (photo above) loved going to concerts and had a taste for opera. Poppy will share a blanket with us this summer and we'll see what kind of music she likes best.

There are a few, free, outdoor events, like the Esplanade concert and fireworks on July 4th, that prohibit dogs, but many of the spaces where events like this are held are dog friendly. That includes most other free concerts and movie nights at the Hatch Shell.

These are perfect opportunities to gather friends, a blanket, a picnic, and your dog for a relaxed evening outside.

Concerts

Speaking of the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade, the Boston Landmarks Orchestra is playing on Wednesday nights 7-9 pm from July 16th to August 27th. They also have concerts scheduled in other spots around the city.

You might enjoy seeing this orchestra at 6 pm on July 9th in City Square, Charlestown; July 13th at Pinebank Promontory, Jamaica Plain; or July 27th in Copley Square.

Boston Harbor Hotel’s Summer in the City series offers live bands playing blues, soul, or the songs of the Rat Pack era Tuesday to Thursday through August. Naturally, dogs are not allowed on the restaurant patios. But, the sound carries and you can find a place to sit on the harbor side of the hotel and enjoy.

BostInno has published their "The Complete List of All the Summer Series Happening in Boston That You Need in Your Life." Not all of these are dog friendly. Some are inside or in places where your dog is not welcome but there are a few more good ideas for music here.

Movie Nights

Boston Harbor Hotel offers Friday night movies, while the Friends of Christopher Columbus Park hold a Sunday Night series. Free Friday Flicks at the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade's schedule can be found here.

Shakespeare on the Common

Twelfth Night is the play of the year for the Shakespeare on the Common Theatre Company. This year, you can pick your night to see this offering between July 23 and August 10th.

Spencer Is Pointing to Modern Farmer’s Guide to Farm Dogs

Spencer from Still Life Farm, wanted us to share all the excitement that has been going on this week over on the Modern Farmer site.

They have been featuring farm dogs all this week with everything from "Ruff Choice: Which Farm Dog Is Right for You?" to the official ModFarm Farm Dog Cam showing farm dogs at work.

Spencer says you should hop over and enjoy meeting some of the dogs that help bring food to the table.

Just this week, Spencer was up late a few nights protecting his hens from a wandering raccoon. Most of the time, his principal job is keeping his favorite farmer Curtis company as they put in a long day of chores on the farm.

But, Penny snapped this photo of him with that worshipful expression on his face as Halley, his favorite female farmer, walked past him. His expression went from bored to very interested in seconds!

If you have a favorite farm dog, let us know and we may feature him or her as an upcoming Sunday Dog.

Frenchie Fun, Watching Maudie Grow!

Miss Maude the French Bulldog is a recent additon to our neighborhood and we love watching her grow up and learn new things.

One of the first things she mastered was the totally adoring look she saves for her family.

When we first met Maude, she was quite happy to show us that even at this young age she had mastered licking her nose and dancing at the same time. (Smart girl!)

And, that was at a time when she was still busy growing into her ears! (By the way, these ears are among the softest I've ever found.)

Then, there's her, "I'm getting carried and you have to walk" face. (Don't ever get into a staring contest with this Frenchie. She'll win!)

Here's her perfect "Show Girl" pose. Doesn't it show off her trim and adorable figure? Look at that tiny waist!

Sometimes, she finds our cameras a bit offputting and doesn't mind letting us know she's had enough posing. One of the best things about living in the city is getting to know so many wonderful dogs like Miss Maude.

Lawdy Miss Maudie, you are just too cute! Sorry, but you'll have to get used to the paparazzi and all the people who can't resist your charms.

Scotties Posing Pretty in Provincetown

An old friend once said that getting more than one dog to pose for the camera is like trying to keep Jell-O® on a shelf. True, for the most part, unless you run into this pair of Scottish Terriers who pose on request.

At first it seems like a normal two dog situation. One would look at me, the other was more interested in his paw.

But then their people said a magic word and they sat, side by side, and locked eyes on me and my camera.

They even do a perfect terrier tippy head for a different magic word.

I have to admit, the side view was caught by accident when another dog came near. They looked, but they did not move. Good dogs!

Do you have magic words to grab your dogs attention?

Poppy’s Provincetown Report

Duchess Poppy spent her second birthday in Provincetown. This is her report …

If you'd like to go to a very dog friendly place, I recommend Provincetown. Not only were the pups on the street happy to share a sniff, but you can even go to a restaurant patio with your people. And, lots of shops are happy to have a well-behaved dog (like moi) assist their family with a bit of shopping.

The downside of all this dining and shopping and sniffing is that vacationing can make even a young pup like me very tired. Make sure you catch a nap when you can. As you can see, I packed my Mambe blanket so I could stretch out on the sofa just like I do at home.

At the beach, I met this old gent who showed me how to walk on the rocks without hurting my paws. He's kind of a Yoda to younger dogs. He said he learned from Yoda who told him, "Always pass on what you have learned."

I really like "decking." That's when you share a chaise lounge with one of your favorite people while they read. I even liked doing this when the wind was messing up my hairstyle.

Lots of great dogs live in Provincetown. This Corgi was taking time to enjoy the sun and smell the pansies.

The bestest thing about Provencetown is that you get lots of snuggle time with your family. They are not so busy and after all the long walks we took, they were ready to settle down, and let me curl up and pillow my little head on them.
