  • Odis & Family Have a New Foster Dog, Ray the Beagle

    CHE_7317 - Version 22013-05-26-odis-sunday-dog-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    We ran into our old pal Odis on a walk this week. He couldn't stop bouncing up and down with the exciting news he had to share. His family has been fostering a new pal – a beagle named Ray!

    Here's the foster family portrait, Sam, Doug, Ray, and Odis with big smiles all around.

    They reminded us to take this opportunity to thank everyone who opens their homes and hearts to animals who need a temporary home while they wait for that perfect adoption.

    Details About Ray

    Sam sent along information about Ray. She said, "…he is a 2- 3 year old Beagle mix. He got hit by a car and had to have his tail cut off. He is a sweet boy who loves to be outside and is a true beagle. 

    He will need to be on prescription food for the rest of his life, but it is no more expensive than the good food most people buy their pets anyway! He loves his foster brother and is learning to walk on a leash and be a gentleman when meeting other dogs.  He loves, loves, loves to be outside and I think he would prefer a backyard to run and play in!"

    Ray is available through the Last Hope K9 Dog Rescue. Here's their Facebook page where we found this adorable photo of Ray.

    In a more serious moment Odis said he's doing his best to be a good host. He thinks fostering is the perfect way to decide if you really want a second or third dog in your family.

    Odis also reminded us that when you see an old friend with a new dog, ask before you rush up to meet them. Some fosters and newly adopted dogs still needs a bit of space with other dogs or even people.

    Nice to see you again Odis!  Ray, we hope you find the perfect "furever" home.

  • Sunday Dog New Year’s Resolutions for 2013

    Our puppy Poppy has been frantically picking up her P-mail on every corner in the neighborhood and she tells us a few of this year's Sunday Dogs have made New Year's Resolutions. (And if they haven't, she's making some for them.)

    6a00e54fc42bb8883401774455c1c9970d-500wi

    Now & Future Sunday Dog, King! is growing up to be a big, strong German Shepherd. He has resolved to stay as sweet as he was as a pup and to always remember that he and Poppy are no longer the same size and so to play gently with her.

    6a00e54fc42bb888340167667e6e64970b-800wi

    We told you that Chiquita Loves to Dance! Poppy tells us that Chiquita has resolved to open her own dance studio in 2013 and teach you and your dog how to cha cha, foxtrot, and jitterbug together!

    6a00e54fc42bb88834016764af7731970b-800wi

    Not only is it true that, Odis “Loves Everyone!” but everyone loves and misses him too. Poppy has sent him a message that he has to get back to his old neighborhood more often. She says we have a great selection of places to get presents!

    6a00e54fc42bb888340168e5e9265c970c-800wi

    Not only can Sunday Dog Ollie give Tips on “Being,” but he's also going to spend 2013 writing a book on how to respond like a mature and sensible gentleman when a young neighbor girl has an enormous crush on you.

    It should be a best seller among dark and handsome guys like Ollie who have to deal with problems like this from girls like Duchess Poppy.

    6a00e54fc42bb888340168e8913754970c-800wi

    When you first met Hudson, He didn't need a dog license because he was too young. But, now that he's grown, he has a fan club and people who come to visit him in his shop, Q Optical on Newbury Street. His goal for 2013 is to move up the corporate ladder, become the top dog, and have everyone at Q Optical working for him. And, he intends to win his way with sweetness and love. Good Boy!

    6a00e54fc42bb888340168e789e923970c-800wi

    Finally, in a species by herself is Sophia Cat, last seen playing "Her Glass Harmonica". She also works on Newbury Street at Bauer Wine & Spirits.

    She has resolved to form an association to represent the Newbury Street shop cats and dogs and make sure their rights as workers are protected.

    At the moment, Sophia would like to organize a protest against the holiday window display that's keeping her from sunning herself in her favorite spot. And, if you want to join her picket line, she won't even care if you are of the canine persuasion.

    Happy New Year to all our Sunday Dogs and Cats!

    May you all have a happy and healthy new year and may you succeed with all your resolutions.

  • Sunday Dog, Odis “Loves Everyone!”

    PMC_9832 - Version 22012-04-03-O'Dis-dachshund-Sunday-Dog-Boston-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    We always look forward to seeing Odis– this Sunday Dog loves everyone! He always has a way of making you feel special, as if you’re the only one in the room.

    DSC_3369 - Version 22012-04-03-O'Dis-dachshund-Sunday-Dog-Boston-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Odis was catching some spring rays in the park, the other day, and didn’t see us approach. As soon as he realized he had company, this spunky little guy grabbed his toy and rushed over to greet us.

    PMC_9815 - Version 22012-04-03-O'Dis-dachshund-Sunday-Dog-Boston-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    While Odis loves toys, his favorite is “anything new.” His person explained that he gets a new toy every couple of weeks. Like so many of us, he loves presents, and even knows the word!

    DSC_3358 - Version 22012-04-03-O'Dis-dachshund-Sunday-Dog-Boston-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Did somebody say, "Present?"

    Odis also loves cheese, doesn’t like skateboards, treasures walks, and always wants the bed to himself, “He’s a Dachshund, so he likes to burrow.” And, “he messes up the bed pretty well.”

    Odis will turn six in June, so we’re guessing that’ll mean another present…

    DSC_3373 - Version 22012-04-03-O'Dis-dachshund-Sunday-Dog-Boston-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Uh-h-h, sorry boy… But, June isn’t all that far away. Happy Birthday, Odis!
