  • Sunday Horse, Winston! Your Support Is Needed to Keep Our Mounted Patrol

    It was such a pleasure to see Winston and his mounted Park Ranger adding a highly visible degree of protection to our parks.

    Watching this pair interact with park visitors proved what great ambassadors the mounted patrol and their most attractive horses are for our parks. Each year The Friends of the Boston Park Rangers Mounted Unit have to raise enough money to keep this program going.

    If you want to see this program continue, visit their webpage and make a donation. Stay informed about their activities by following their facebook page.

    Our Greyhound pal Marley really enjoyed her first encounter with one of these very much larger-than-her critters.

    Judging by Marley's reaction, we suspect she has a big crush on Winston. She watched him intently until he disappeared from her view.

  • Greer the Greyhound Is a “Snow Queen!”

    With the sunshine and warmth last weekend, we took a long walk with one of our favorite dogs, Miss Greer the Greyhound. And, we learned that she has a thing about getting down and personal with snow.

    Here she is washing her face after lunch. She says that fluffy white stuff is good for her facial fur. It keep her looking young!

    After a few miles of walking, a girl can get warm. That's when you need to get your whole body down in a snow bank.

    And, if you are very fortunate, you can have a well-trained pal provide a shower of fresh snow for your topside.

    "Ahhhhh!" Greer says, "You just can't imagine how good this feels!"

  • Sunday Dog Wilson, the Fastest Tongue in Boston!

    DSC_2487 - Version 22012-03-18-winston-sunday-dog-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Wilson not only has the fastest, but also the most accurate tongue in all of Boston! Of course, you wouldn’t know it to look at this handsome little guy, but when you’re this good, there’s absolutely no need to brag.

    DSC_2479 - Version 22012-03-18-winston-sunday-dog-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Besides, maintaining a low profile preserves the element of surprise. A “Lightning Licker,” as they’re known in the trade, can be quite the cunning character. This extraordinarily talented actor might pretend to be following a scent, when he’s actually moving into position.

    DSC_2472 - Version 22012-03-18-winston-sunday-dog-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Or, as Wilson so expertly demonstrates, there’s the classic “Staring Off into the Distance” pose– often employed just before the final set-up. This crafty canine appears to be in a trance-like state, but it’s a sure sign that he’s about to strike!

    DSC_2465 - Version 22012-03-18-winston-greer-dog-kiss-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    A blur of pink extends toward his target as Wilson lunges in for a landing. Notice the body extension and fluid form that propels him toward his destination. You can tell, it’s not his first time.

    And, we have Touchdown! What precision! What grace! (Your Applause, Here)
