  • Sunday Dog, Cozmo – Lifelong Sockoholic!

    DSC_9824 - Version 22012-11-03-Cozom-scottie-Sunday-dog-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    “Hello, my name is Cozmo, and I’m a Sockoholic.”

    All together now, “Hello, Cozmo!”

    "How Did You Know?"


    It’s alright, Cozmo. We got complete details from your person, who says she loves you in spite of your, u-h-h fetish. And, besides your friends, I think you’ll find that all of our Sunday Dog readers will be there for you too.

    Of course, this affliction is not limited to handsome Scotties. There are many other dogs (Poppy, that means you) and cats that struggle with the urge to stuff those fluffy, soft, and irresistibly odiferous clumps of cloth between their pearly whites.

    Cozmo will go into the bathroom and specifically search through the dirty laundry basket for socks. He was caught once with six socks in his mouth! The giveaway was that his person saw him with both black & white socks protruding from his mouth and knew there had to be at least two in there! No wonder she says, “He’s just a very funny, little dog!”

    We’re told that this 9 ½ year old is named for Cosmo Kramer and “like the Seinfeld character he has a very dry sense of humor.” He’s also “a regal little dog with a big personality … very calm for a Scottie, very brave, too!”

    And, we have to say, the kind of rascal that makes for one very special Sunday Dog!

  • Is Your Sunday Dog Traveling for the Holidays? Reserve Now! Plus 8 more Tips

    Whether your Sunday Dog (or cat) is traveling with you or staying with friends for the holidays, it’s time to make that reservation.

    Pet sitter and boarding kennel schedules can fill up fast this time of year, so here are some tips to make sure your pal will have all the comforts of home no matter where the journey leads.

    IStock_000019694326XSmall

    All Set to Go!
    • If you’re considering a boarding kennel, insist on seeing exactly where your pet will be kept and inspect the entire facility before choosing one.
    • Dog hotels offer rooms with walls and furniture rather than wire pens or kennels and can be quieter, calmer, and more like a home environment.
    • Pet sitters will come to your home each day, stay in your home, or keep your pet in their home. If you use a dog walker, start with him or her.
    • There are also a few people in every neighborhood who make a little extra income by taking care of pets. If you ask neighbors for recommendations, you may find a gem in your area.
    • Some dog breeders provide boarding services for dogs in their line. In the case of small scale breeders, your pet could have the run of their home except at bedtime.
    • If you’re planning to fly with a small dog or cat, you’ll want to reserve a place in the cabin. Airlines limit the number of companion animals on each plane.
    • Even informal agreements with family, friends, and other pet lovers for care while you travel should be arranged well in advance to ensure a visitor will fit with their holiday plans.
    • If you have a dog or cat with serious health issues who needs careful monitoring of a medical condition or is very frail, consider boarding them at a veterinary hospital with 24-hour medical staff on duty.  Angell Animal Medical Center in Jamaica Plain offers this type of service.

    Pull out your to-do list and move holiday planning to the top. Doing that now will feel like you’ve given a special gift to yourself when the time comes to travel.

  • Provincetown “Frenchie” with a Stand-in!

    PMC_1248 - Version 22012-04-15Frenchie-provincetown-garden-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    On every Provincetown visit we make a point of checking out some of our favorite gardens. This one, on Commercial Street, had a new addition– a Frenchie sculpture.

    PMC_1253 - Version 22012-04-15Frenchie-provincetown-garden-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Suddenly, the real star emerged from the house, and granted a brief, private photo op!

    DSC_3750 - Version 22012-04-15Frenchie-provincetown-garden-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    And, just as abruptly, returned to seclusion, leaving the stand-in to deal with the next admirers!

    Thanks for coming out to see us, little Frenchie!

     We saw:

    • Newbury Street filled with shoppers on Sunday. 
    • Happy diners eating outside at La Voile and at Tasty Burger(Warning: There's music on La Voile's site.)
    • Students studying on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall.
    • Lots of spring plants sprouting in Back Bay gardens. The snowdrops have been up for weeks and some crocuses, pansies, and heather are already in bloom.
    • (Click a thumbnail to choose an image in any order you like. You'll stay right here on this page.)

    Sometimes the freelance life lets you stretch your long weekend by an extra day or, at least, fit in more fun around your work hours. It was that kind of weekend for us. 

    We began with a trip to Central Square, Cambridge for lunch on Thursday. The afternoon began at Mary Chung Restaurant for a bit of Szechuan heat. (Stay tuned! Details on that will pop up tomorrow.)

    We strolled home with stops at Central Bottle to stock up on cheese, bread, beer, and wine for the weekend and Flour Bakery for two pieces of their fabulous Boston Cream Pie cake to honor a friend's birthday. (And, to tease him with another reason to miss Boston from his new home in San Francisco!)

    Friday afternoon found us at Coppa enjoying a few of our favorites– including this Italian Grinder

    Saturday, we shared a tray at Sweet Cheeks Q and added a new favorite side dish that will also be featured here in the days ahead.

    We ran into lots of friends in lots of places and had some down time at home with a bit of great wine and home cooking. It was a good weekend to spend in town enjoying some of the great things Boston has to offer.

  • Sunday Dog, Taco – Country Boy Discovers City Life!

    IMG_3959 - Version 22011-11-25-taco-leaves-fall-australian-shepard-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    For a country boy who’s spent his formative “months” romping in the open spaces of north central Massachusetts, Sunday Dog Taco is learning all about city life. This gorgeous, red merle, Australian Shepherd, originally from Ashburnham (about an hour west of Boston), is a very friendly one year old who loves other dogs.

    IMG_0762 - Version 22011-11-25-taco-leaves-fall-australian-shepard-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    This Aussie’s stunning coat is only surpassed by those captivating eyes– very useful for a any herding breed.

    We met Taco as he was sniffing out the landscape…

    IMG_3937 - Version 22011-11-25-taco-leaves-fall-australian-shepard-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    A Little Bit of Country Right Here in the Big City!

     

    Getting to know a new place always takes some time and can be a bit lonely in at first. Taco’s person told us that he loves doggy daycare and has met a number of dogs, which has been helpful.

    Like most Australian Shepherds, this guy is full of energy and needs a lot of activity and stimulus. He loves to play and is always on the lookout for a new playmate.

    IMG_3951 - Version 22011-11-25-taco-leaves-fall-australian-shepard-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Because Aussie’s are very intelligent and learn quickly, it’s no wonder they excel at search & rescue, detection, and as service dogs.

    IMG_0766 - Version 22011-11-25-taco-leaves-fall-australian-shepard-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Taco got to know us quickly, letting us photograph him– almost posing at times. He loved getting the attention as much as we loved showering him with it.

    We left our Sunday Dog with a goodbye pat as he greeted more new friends. I think our country boy is made for the city.
