The Polite Wet Dogs of Provincetown Harbor

We all know the standing joke about the wet dog who runs to the nearest dry human and shakes the water off his or her fur. On our last visit to Provincetown, I watched this group of very polite wet dogs.

A kind man waited patiently on the sand to throw and rethrow the balls the dogs love to fetch.

Perhaps that man had worked on some special beach training to direct wet dogs racing his way to the place where he wanted them to shake.

If it did, the training was a success because these dogs did their shaking far from him.

This one had a good shake before leaving the water.

This one shook as soon as his paws hit the sand.

The trio would line up politely and wait for the next batch of balls to be tossed.

This young pup was the strongest swimmer but the other two did get their share of the prizes.

Thanks for the fun I had watching you romp and swim. See you all next trip!

Sunday Dog Lucy Is Settling into the City

We first met Sunday Dog Lucy when she had just arrived in Boston and was walking on Marlborough Street because it was quieter and less scary than the busier streets in the Back Bay.

When we ran into this sweet Tibetan Terrier again recently, she was relaxed enough to pull up a bit of sidewalk and settle in while the people around her talked about how well she was doing. She followed the conversation like a tennis spectator, turning her beautiful brown eyes from speaker to speaker.

She's developed a bit of city dog sophistication and nonchalance even when we pointed the big, evil, black eyes of our camera lenses her way. The wag and smile she had given us when we approached turned into a supermodel pose of utter indifference to the paparazzi.

She did consent to one formal headshot but decided that a smile was too much to ask. She wants to keep her new reputation as a savvy, street smart, staunch city girl.

See you soon Lucy and we won't tell anyone that you just love a cuddle on a park bench right in the middle of the big, bad city.

My Little Sunday Dog …

"My little dog – a heartbeat at my feet." Edith Wharton (1862 – 1937: American novelist, short story writer, and designer.)

And, for me, that little dog is my Poppy shown here on a cool spring day in Provincetown. She likes to snuggle down between my feet when I'm reading on the chaise.

A Sunday Beach Dog Playing on the Tidal Flats

Most of the time, we meet our Sunday dogs up close and get to know a bit about them. Today's dog is one we watched from afar from a deck high above Provincetown Harbor. This beach dog was having a great time running around the tidal flats and leading her people on a merry chase.

There was such sheer pleasure in the long runs the pup was making across the water and sand.

I can almost hear the dog saying, "Yes, I hear you calling me but …"

"Why don't you come over here and we can all watch the clouds and sea together?"

"Hey, you knew I'd come back to you eventually. Is it time for dinner?"

We say, thank you to this dog and all the Ptown beach dogs who walk or gallop by and entertain us with their beach explorations and antics.

Leo Models for Us and Tutors a Tiny Pal at the Same Time

We met Leo on a walk, recently, and asked if this charming and well-behaved Havanese would serve as our model for an article Penny was writing on Urban Canine Good Citizenship. He and his personal manager agreed.

Here he is in one of his prettiest, most well-mannered sits.

You can see that Leo has mastered the art of paying attention.

He will lean in and follow any hand holding a treat. Such a smart boy!

He is one of those rare models that will follow the camera and offer the photographer many angles of his beautiful face.

And, as he put on this show of excellent canine behavior, he had an audience. We had all just met the little Maltipoo Wolfgang. With Leo for a tutor, Wolfie (as I think many of his friends will call him) will soon be showing off his own brand of outstanding urban puppyhood.

Watch for upcoming Sunday Dog posts on both Wolfgang and Urban Canine Good Citizenship!

Thanks for doing a great job with both the modeling and the tutoring, Leo! See you soon out in the park.
