  • Sunday Dog, “Affy” Has Great Scottish Genes!

    DSC_7873 - Version 22012-09-09-affy-skye-terrier-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    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, “Sandy” Loves Boston!

    DSC_7666 - Version 22012-08-28-sandy-beagle-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    … and, Boston loves her right back! Who wouldn’t? Sandy has the sweetest face with a personality to match. Although she only arrived a couple of weeks ago, this 10-year-old Beagle beauty told us she feels right at home.

    DSC_7672 - Version 22012-08-28-sandy-beagle-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    A North Shore transplant, Sandy is very calm and loving with a quiet confidence that makes her a hit with everyone she meets– including her new housemate, a meow named Dunhill.

    DSC_7645 - Version 22012-08-28-sandy-beagle-Poppy-westie-king-shepard-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Sandy exchanging "Hello Sniffs" with former Sunday Dog stars, King (rt) & Poppy (in back)!

    Even though Sandy doesn’t play favorites and thoroughly enjoys meeting other dogs and people, we have to believe that she has a slight preference for friends with leashes.

    DSC_7664 - Version 22012-08-28-sandy-beagle-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Although in the country Sandy had the beach and a big yard, she’s quickly learning that the entire city is her new playpen with exciting, new places to explore!     

    DSC_7667 - Version 22012-08-28-sandy-beagle-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    We can tell by the look on that face that Sandy is happy in her new, loving home and obviously enjoys savoring the moment. Welcome to Boston, Sandy! You’re now an official, “city girl.”

  • Poppy Says, “Thank You!”

    PMC_5891 - Version 22012-08-09-poppy- commonwealt- avenue-mall-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    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. 

    PMC_5879 - Version 22012-08-09-poppy-bench-park-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

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

    Welcome Puppy Reggie to the Neighborhood

    PMC_5899 - Version 22012-08-10-poppy- commonwealt- avenue-mall-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    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!

    DSC_7346 - Version 22012-08-10-poppy-slleping-snuggle-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    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!

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

    PMC_5812 - Version 22012-07-24-poppy-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    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.

    DSC_7078 - Version 22012-07-23-poppy-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    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.

    DSC_7094 - Version 22012-07-24-poppy-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    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.

    DSC_7107 - Version 22012-07-24-poppy-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Poppy flicking through our Twitter feed before nodding off for the night

    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!

    IMG_1025 - Version 22012-07-23-poppy-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    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!

    DSC_7086 - Version 22012-07-23-poppy-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

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

    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.
