Happy Patriot's Day

We have a state holiday today giving us a nice long weekend with Dog Dad. While many people confuse this with Boston Marathon Day and a day off to go to an afternoon Red Sox game this day actually commensurate the Revolutionary War Battles of Lexington and Concord. If you have a desire to rise early you can watch the reenactors as they demonstrate what it was like to make the journey and then fight the battle. There are special events at Minuteman National Park. For those in the area you can find more about it here. Mom's home town is a bit more stubborn and still marches on the actual date of the battle, April 19 rather than on the holiday dedicated to the event. Historical accuracy has its place, but I'm sure the neighbors love the muskets going off in the wee hours of the morning twice in one week.

If you ever are in the area the park is a great place to visit during the summer. Check their website, they have lots of fun family friendly, sadly not dog friendly events.

So Happy Patriot's Day all. We still beat the British in case you were worried.

Paws in the Park 2018

Save a Dog in Sudbury is once again sponsoring one of our favorite yearly events, Paws in the Park at the historic Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Massachusetts on Sunday May 6 from 10-3. Come join other walkers for a one mile walk around the beautiful area and then you can enjoy what we do, shop. There are always wonderful vendors and we love getting treats. It is a family friendly event so bring the kids along with us fur babies. Admission is $10 for adults. $5 for children, and free for kids under 5. More information available here.

Many local shelters and rescues also have booths at the event so come and learn more about the local rescue movement in the area. If your interested in adoption or volunteering, this is a great place to start meeting people involved in the local rescue community.

This was Bailey and I several years ago resting at the Grist Mill.

This was Annie last year. For some reason Mom and Dad can never understand we don't like drinking water out of any bowls but our own at home, despite how warm we are or how thirsty we might be we rarely drink away from home.

Dog Dad took Annie through the agility course they had. She did really well, but Mom had trouble getting pictures as it moved pretty quickly.

I know many of you who visit our aren't local, but I encourage all of us to share pet friendly events as it may encourage other areas to try someting new.

When Yarn Attacks

I've warned and warned Mom, but even now she thinks I initiated this attack and the yarn just fell on me because I pulled at the yarn. That's just not true. The yarn attacked me.

Recovering from Our Holiday Celebration

We had a wonderful Easter holiday, but it was exhausting. Nothing like resting up with your Easter toys to recover.

Thankful Thursday: Snow Dogs

If you haven't been following our Blog you might have missed that we love snow. Those of you who visit frequently often see our true enjoyment of the white stuff. Mom caught pictures of us enjoying Monday's storm.

Wordless Wednesday: The Easter Bunny Filled Our Treat Balls

The Easter Bunny came through in a big way. Mom gathered up all our treat balls and left them out for the big Bunny to fill. We spent the better part of Sunday morning chasing them around the house emptying them out.

A Delayed April Fool's Joke

Saturday I was sitting here on the last snow desperately trying to hold on to the last of our precious snow cookies. Mom thought it was cute and had to shoot pictures of my attempts to hold on to the last bit of cooling tasty snow. We had a beautiful warm day on Easter and Mom had visions of tulips, irises, and lilies coming up and blooming. Well little did she know Annie and I had other plans. Monday morning beautiful tasty snow began to fall and we have a yard of snow cookies again. Dog Dad says Spring snow doesn't last long, but he didn't expect we'd get more snow today, so we have hopes for long term Spring snow cookies.
