Sunday Dog, “Affy” Has Great Scottish Genes!

Say, “Guid Mornin,” to Sunday Dog “Affy,” a Scottish lad whose ancestors date back hundreds of years! This Skye Terrier’s relatives were romping around the Isle of Skye at least four centuries ago and likely predate all terrier breeds in Scotland.

This affable three-year-old is originally from Connecticut but now calls Boston home. Because
Affy’s only been in town a week, he’s still adjusting to the sounds of the city. This place can also be a little overwhelming at first with so many people and dogs to meet. But no matter where you’re from, there’s always one universal dog greeting that can make you feel right at home …

Since our Poppy’s had a few weeks head start adapting to her surroundings, she’s offered to introduce her new buddy around– it shouldn’t be too difficult for two adorable terriers with Scottish genes.

By the way, because his people work in the pharmaceutical industry, the name Affy is a nod to Affymetrix, a company that makes gene analysis hardware.

Nice to meet ya, Affy! You’re gonna have a great time here!

Sunday Dog, Rocky Is Show-Dog-Cute!

Rocky is not only show-dog-cute, but also a natural when it comes to striking a pose! At only a year-and-a-half old, this handsome Norwich Terrier just loves the camera. Can’t you just image this face peering back at you from the pages of a canine calendar?

But before you get the wrong idea, it’s important to know that Rocky is much more than just a pretty face. This spunky little guy is as bright as they come. His talents go far beyond the usual “sit” and “down” mastered by most dogs, to “roll over” and “high five” on command!

Then, there’s the friendly, inquisitive side of this extraordinary character. When he first arrived in Boston last New Year’s Eve, Rocky admitted that he had no idea how much he was going to like living in the city and making new friends! Our Poppy found him irresistible as the two compared ears!

We’re told that Rocky really likes two female Jack Russell Terriers (there seems to be a pattern here) that live in his building and he loves to play with them!

In his spare time, Rocky enjoys mixing it up with his favorite Hedgehog toy, gnawing on a good piece of rawhide, and getting to sleep with his person in the big bed. What a life! What a dog!

The Now & Future Sunday Dog, King!

Maybe it’s just us, but it seems as though there are a lot of puppies in Boston this summer. Then again, in the midst of raising one of our own, maybe we’re just noticing more of these little ones. Or, in King’s case, not so little.

This handsome, four-month-old German Shepherd is growing fast and couldn’t wait to greet us, especially our Poppy.

When we all stopped to exchange sniffs (well, not all of us), King did a “hello pee.” Poppy told her new friend that she knows the feeling and, while I couldn’t be sure, seemed to be passing along some advice on the practice.

King, named in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and to salute a father’s work as a civil rights attorney, seems to be adjusting well to his new surroundings.

There’s a confident, self-assured, almost regal attitude about this guy. Just look at that face! Maybe we should call our Sunday Dog, “The Now & Future King of Boston Dogs!” Sounds good to us.

BostInno’s “21 Local Must-Read Food Blogs”

Our Friday Link today is to BostInno's "21 Local Must-Read Food Blogs," by Lisa DeCanio.

The team here at BostonZest is honored to be included in this group. We recommend that you take a look at this collection. We're sure you'll find more than a few that fit your personal food taste. We were already following many of these and after sampling the rest, we've added a few more to our local food information feeds!

Lisa also won our hearts when she said, "Oh, and it has nothing to do with food, but Penny has a whole section dedicated to dogs, with the most adorable photos of pups around the city." We do love our Boston Dogs!
