Poppy Says, “Thank You!”

Poppy is popping back into the Sunday Dog spotlight to say, "Thanks!" to everyone who held off on patting her, cuddling her, and introducing her to their dogs while she was waiting to have immunity from diseases that could make her very sick.

We explained this danger period for puppies back in 2009 in this post:

Welcome Puppy Reggie to the Neighborhood

First steps on the ground in Boston.

On Friday, Poppy was 16 weeks old and finally her little paws could hit the sidewalks of Boston. At last, she could interact with some of the people who had been waiting to hold her and pat her, and with some of the dogs who'd been waiting to sniff her butt!

And after a long walk, she had a long sleep.

Also, while we're passing out the thanks, we really appreciated the kind words from Lisa DeCanio over at BostInno. She not only included BostonZest in her 21 Local Must-Read Food Blogs, but also liked our Sunday Dog collection!

Here’s How to Do the “Kobe Krawl”

Of all the Sunday Dogs we’ve featured, Kobe is the first (as far as we know) who can crawl on command! Now we realize that Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are very bright, but this little one is only four months old!

It’s also worth mentioning that despite his tender age, Kobe holds down a full-time job! This inspiring overachiever works locally at Google– a company that obviously values a canine point of view. When Kobe’s at the office, he mostly assists when needed which often means there’s a lot of downtime to fill.

Besides his superior learning skills, Kobe also excels in other ways. This happy, inquisitive ball of energy is already building quite a reputation for himself as an all-around friendly guy.

Getting to know the neighbors his high on his to-do list. Kobe loves all dogs and their four-legged companions too!

As tongues go, we were fascinated by Kobe’s– has to be great for scooping up water!

We learned that Kobe can’t get enough soft, squeaky toys and who can blame him! He also likes to gnaw on bully sticks.

Puppies don’t come any cuter than Kobe and we’re looking forward to watching him grow. And, we can’t wait to see what trick he masters next!

Say Hello to Poppy, Our New VP of Security & Morale!

At BostonZest every member of the team is important, especially the VP of Security & Morale. So after a long and thorough search, we’re excited to announce that Duchess Poppy Whitehead has accepted our offer to fill this vital position.

This lovely, little girl arrived one week ago today and immediately assumed her duties, lifting the spirits of everyone she meets. As with any new hire, there will be an extensive training period as we all get to know each other.

While at times exhausting, Poppy says she’s up for the challenge. This amazing Westy comes to us with a long list of talents. Besides being a cuddler, a kisser, and a belly-rub fan, at 14-weeks-old she’s already nosing around the timelines on Twitter.

On her second day here, Poppy mastered iPad scrolling with her nose! It’s really not all that surprising when you consider that she also watches TV, but admittedly hasn’t mastered the remote, yet.

Poppy is adapting to the city soundtrack– including an encounter with the blasting horn and blaring siren of a fire truck answering a call… didn’t even flinch!

Relaxing on the Weigh-In Table While Waiting for Her Vet to Arrive

Poppy’s also learning to walk on a lead, follow some basic house rules, and is beginning to get comfortable in her new digs. Plus, she’s making lots of new friends!

But, her biggest accomplishments have been melting our hearts and bringing back our laughter– something Poppy did the moment she climbed into our arms.

Get to know all of our Sunday Dogs at Boston Dogs.

Two of the great things we have on hand for our new VP are these Reusable, washable piddle padsnormally used for human incontinence but also perfect for protecting furniture and floors from accidents that wee pups might have. And, here are our favorites: Wee-Wee Housebreaking Pads for Dogs, 150-Pack

Friday is all Grown Up– We Revisit a Sunday Dog

This week, we revisit a lovely boxer named Friday. We first met this beauty as a young pup.

Penny saw Friday this week and says she is just as sweet and charming as she was two years ago. She was out walking with her good friend Riley and both girls were more than willing to give some attention to a dog-deprived pal.

Watching dogs grow up is one of the nicest aspects of city life!

Sunday Dog, Maya– Beyond Cute!

It’s one thing to “think” you’re cute, and another to “say” you’re cute. But, when your “cuteness” is so utterly obvious to the entire civilized world, it becomes a “fact.”

And, what’s even more remarkable is that, despite all of her undeniable gorgeousness, Sunday Dog, Maya couldn’t care less. She’s too busy just being a puppy!

After all, at 3-months old, there’s a lot of chewing that needs to be done. Maya even manages to make such a mundane job look inviting.

Then, there’s the always important sidewalk stiffing technique that is best mastered early in life. (She seems to have a preference for brick.)

Maya was born in Chihuahua, Mexico. As her person points out, “She’s an authentic Chihuahuan Chihuahua.” After living there for a few months, “I brought her back as my Mexican souvenir.”

This little (2.8 pound) beauty told us she loves living in her new home and is even learning to bark with a Boston accent.

Welcome to our city, Maya, and thanks for being this week’s Sunday Dog– you cutey!

Meet Hudson, He Doesn’t Need a Dog License!

That's because this adorable Chihuahua puppy is only four months old. He has settled into the Back Bay with his special person and is filling her heart with joy. He will need a license once he reaches six months.

For the rest of the pups, applications for the 2012 Boston Dog Licenses have been arriving in area homes. If your dog is currently licensed, you should receive the application in the mail. Under state law, all dogs over the age of six months must be licensed by April 1st of each year.

If you didn't get a Boston Dog license application in the mail, you can download one here.

The list of 2012 Boston Low-Cost Rabies Vaccination Clinics around the state is now posted. This includes the clinics in Boston and those where you can get your license at the same time.

If you get to meet Mr Hudson, you'll quickly learn that he's a charmer who probably should be given a special license for stealing hearts– because he's gonna do that anyway! I'm sure you'll be seeing more of this little guy in our Sunday Dog files.
