One of our favorite pastimes this summer will be watching Wolfgang grow up. In our neighborhood, word of a new puppy spreads like wildfire and everyone shares the latest cuteness they've witnessed with other dog fans.
So you know that this little Maltipoo with the big name of Wolfgang is going to be the talk of the town.
At four months old, he is sticking close to his human companion but watching and learning all the time.
Look who has a new sister! I remember Bonnie, not too long ago, when she first arrived in the neighborhood. She was as cute as any brand new Cavalier King Charles Spaniel could be. Now that Bonnie’s grown into a stunningly beautiful adult, it’s her turn to welcome a new puppy into her life.
Nessie, who is three months old this weekend, seems to enjoy everything about her older sister. And, although it’s not always easy, we’re fairly certain that Bonnie mostly feels the same way.
“M-m-m, Ears Are Delicious”
We ran into this playful pair the other day and marveled at how well Bonnie is learning to accept Nessie as part of the pack.
As you’d expect, Nessie is inquisitive about everything, although she looked a bit puzzled by our camera lens. But, that didn’t last very long.
There’s always something new to explore – autumn is a great time to be get to know your world.
As we turned to continue our walk, Nessie began circling for another ambush. After all, what’s a new sister for? Have fun you guys.

Penny was writing one of her City Paws newspaper columns on High Tech for pets, when she came across Pet First Aid: for Your Dog, Cat, Puppy, or Kitten – Jive Media LLC. She reviewed the options, compared the offerings, and bought this one because it seems to have exactly what we would want in an emergency.
Here is her review …
While having these instructions in an emergency will be wonderful, it was the time I spent going through the app that will stand me in good stead, if the time comes when I need it.
The app provides instructions for CPR, rescue breathing, and what to do if your pet is choking. It also has sections on safely caring for a sick or wounded animal, what is normal, disaster preparedness, and a host of specific emergency situations.
We do have a complete Doggie First Aid Kit packed into our Poppy's little red travel bag. It has only been used in an emergency situation once. We were staying in Provincetown when we noticed a neighbor trying to deal with a cut paw on the beach in front of the house. I grabbed the bag and offered cleaning solution, gauze, and pet bandages to help with the dog's first aid.
Poppy Tested
As it turned out, Poppy gave the app a trial run a week after we bought it. She was coughing and gagging after eating a piece of a dog treat. Now, we have a lifetime of experience with dogs so we didn't panic. We figured she had a small piece of the biscuit caught in her throat. But it was reassuring to pop up the section on choking and review the situation.
The app takes you through the incident step by step. On the second screen, we had a check list of symptoms that would indicate that a dog is choking. She wasn't drooling, pawing at her mouth, looking anxious, didn't have labored breathing, bluish mucous membranes, and had not collapsed. (When you touch the bluish mucous membranes item on the list, you are taken to illustrations that help you identify normal and abnormal.)
What we had was a simple case of clearing her throat and within a couple of hours she was free of symptoms. But, it was good to have had that checklist right on the phone.
Miss Maude the French Bulldog is a recent additon to our neighborhood and we love watching her grow up and learn new things.
One of the first things she mastered was the totally adoring look she saves for her family.
When we first met Maude, she was quite happy to show us that even at this young age she had mastered licking her nose and dancing at the same time. (Smart girl!)
And, that was at a time when she was still busy growing into her ears! (By the way, these ears are among the softest I've ever found.)
Then, there's her, "I'm getting carried and you have to walk" face. (Don't ever get into a staring contest with this Frenchie. She'll win!)
Here's her perfect "Show Girl" pose. Doesn't it show off her trim and adorable figure? Look at that tiny waist!
Sometimes, she finds our cameras a bit offputting and doesn't mind letting us know she's had enough posing. One of the best things about living in the city is getting to know so many wonderful dogs like Miss Maude.
Lawdy Miss Maudie, you are just too cute! Sorry, but you'll have to get used to the paparazzi and all the people who can't resist your charms.

Nova was four months old and obsessed with people and play when we met on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall last week.
We spotted this tiny French Bulldog with obvious spunk and personality heading our way. Our Westie Poppy sat down to wait for an initial meeting with this new neighbor.
Saying hello to Nova reminded us of the very first Frenchie we recall seeing up close. We were with our first Westie Sassy having breakfast at a place called Dotie's. The guys at the next table had an adorable Frenchie and told us all about this lovely breed.
Over the past decade, the breed has mushroomed in popularity and we've had the pleasure of watching quite a few Frenchies grow up and become charming neighbors.
Keep up that charm, Nova! You'll make a lot of friends around Boston.

As if our Sunday Dog, Meeshu weren’t cute enough, just stare into those magical, different colored eyes! They’re so amazing that this fashionable phenomenon (not uncommon in many animals, including some humans) is celebrated every July 12th during Different Colored Eyes Day!
Poppy and I were out for a walk the other day when we noticed this energetic, little bundle of curiosity bounding straight for us. At five months old, Meeshu reminds me of puppy Poppy last July. He wants to play with every dog he sees!
We were joined by a third pup and everybody had a good play! We’ll be watching as this little guy grows up. And, from what I’ve heard, Poppy’s looking forward to a rematch.
