walkie wednesday

hi every bloggie!

Okay! Are you ready to join me for a walkie? I have a great one for today. When I went to the 2dogs2000miles event at the Boston Commons, I had to cross the street and walk thru the Boston Public Gardens. It's a must when in the city. Ready here we go.

To cross over to the gardens, I traversed my way thru the commons. I walked right thru to the infamous and my MOST favorite part of Boston, the FROG POND area. Yep. Can you believe it? No wonder I live here. I posed right in front of the Frog Pond Carousel!

Then I took a peek at the play area for the lil pup frogs. I wasn't allowed in there.. geesh!

So I thought and pondered a minute. Oh.. look who's next to me. Thinker Peeper. I wonder what's on his mind.

I made my way across the busy street and entered the garden. It seemed like the 4th of July, they had firecracker blooms everywhere!

See... Kaboom!

And a must do in the Public Gardens is see the swan boats! Tadaaaaah!

I was super hot so I took a dip in that swan boat pond area. I don't think I'm suppose to do that..oh well. Then walked around to see it up closer. Seems this swan thing is a hoax. It's a human dressed as a swan. Go figure.

Okay, now for the walkies live in action. Tie your shoes. Get your leash. Let's go!
I hope you had a great walkie with me. Toodleloo! Happy Walkie Wednesday!

2dogs2000miles event

hi every bloggie!
Last weekend I went to a very special event.

I attended the grande finale for the 2dogs2000miles trek across the country. Luke, Hudson and Murphy walked... yeppers walked from Austin Texas to Boston Massachusetts. It took 2 years but for a cause.. raising funds for cancer research. Please visit their 2dogs2000miles blog to learn more . Here they are.. live in person. Right smack in the middle! Pawsome!

And of course, we took a minute to remember all the canine pals who lost their struggle with cancer. In fact, I took a minute to remember Libby and Jazze who were Tula's predecessors.

I had to get close to these two amazing pups. I bet they're super duper tired.

I was suppose to walk the final mile but we got all lost in the back bay trying to find the meet up spot and decided to just watch them walk into the Boston Commons. Anyways, you can watch the final steps too. Ahem..never mind my blog assistant, she was a bit weepy watching them. What an amazing thing to do.


I took so many photos. It was a great event.

Oh and the Boston Snow Dogs were here which meant one thing. Hussie alert.. oops I mean Husky alert. I had my eye on this one..

She, of course, being a proper hussie- oops husky assertively stuck her snooter right up close to me.

I am not a shy guy and had to reciprocate. Remember that Miss Khyra kept sending me private part photos. Now I got to see these hussie parts up close. Huh? I know this is a serious event but a boy's gotta have fun too.

Then while we were watching the group photo shoot, I turned around and this guy wanted a photo of ME!

Okay okay.. I'll give you a super close shot.

Wait wait.. I'm coming in.

That's when I was interupted by someone who was worried I'd get stuck. Silly willy. I know what I'm doing. Oh well. You can still help by purchasing these super cool t-shirts and other stuff. Mom got a t-shirt. From what I understand, Luke's next venture is 2 million dogs to walk 2 miles. Stay tuned for more to see how you can participate.

shadow shots sunday


hi every bloggie!

My good pals Baby Rocket and Hootie told me about this cool photo meme called Shadow Shot Sunday. They said they had so much fun with it I thought I'd try it too.


Here goes..... in Massachusetts the sun is always trying to peak out. I'm usually up and out before it rises but the weather here is quite fickle. The clouds seem to win out all the time and cast a shadow over my cute self.

Then during my morning adventures, I head over to the trail along the assabet river.
shadow walk begins
Come on, keep up please. It's a bit shadowy so you have to take your sunglasses off.

shadow walk- two
And every once in awhile, I feel like I'm being followed.

shadow walk three
Holy crap, what is that wild animal? I better move faster. Shake him loose.
shadow walk 4
Oh that's more like it, it's me. I can see the remains of frog legs hanging from my lips. Ha - just kidding. How's that for my first Shadow Shot Sunday!

eYewatch friday- hobbs brook adventure

hi every bloggie!
it's friday! it's eYewatch friday! wahoo! I'm super excited to tell you about a new trail I hiked over Memorial Day weekend. It's right behind the Wayside Inn in Sudbury called Hobbs Brook Conservation Land.

I had my eYe on the sky.It started out as the most beautiful day! We were only 5 minutes into the walk until eYe spyed the pond.
Oh yes I casted myself in front of it for a mid day norwood shadow shot.

What's really neat is the name of the trail I was on was called the LIZARD trail. I thought of my good pal Brucethecat who is the ultimate lizard connoisseur for the entire trail. Well.. maybe not the entire time b/c I got distracted by a snake along it. I grabbed it to play a game of bitey face until I heard non-stop screaming. Geesch! Sorry no pictures of it.
So off I went-sing with me now... along the board walk.. up over the pond.. along the board walk..
photo
We went along the boardwalk and headed to the brook where eYe kept my mince pies peeled for peepers.

It was all to myself. I swam around like a predator waiting to eYe my prey.
photo
When all of a sudden out of nowhere these humans appeared! They seemed to be impressed with my swimming technique!

But they brought along with them a goon squad member- a labradork.
photo
He wanted nothing to do with me. He just wanted the stick - pant pant pant- the stick throw the stick. He wasn't interested in playing with me so I moved on....
photo
Choo Choo.. part of the trail required you to traverse across a railroad track that served as a bridge over the brook. First me, then mom followed.
It was a bit scary at first because you can see thru to the water while you walk over. But it lead me back to the boardwalk... we'll be having some fun.. under the boardwalk...... keep singing.
photo
Look under the boardwalk... eYe watched closely and finally! mr peeper was getting a spa treatment in the mud.

The ultimate eYewatch- two small peepers peeping up at me!
Needless to say that meant only one thing!

Happy eYewatch Friday! PS- Wednesday's foto was from this adventure- if you can't tell I had a fabby time.
