Walking With Abby

If there’s one thing Abby and I – Ok sometimes some of Abby’s friends as well – do is walk.  The above picture was taken in Plymouth, MA.  I go through shoes really fast, as you can imagine, but I enjoy walking with dogs. Walking is a great exercise for you, pet parent, and your…

Abby + Backpack = Good Girl

Abby is 2 1/2 years old and what I’ve found out is that she does well when she wears a backpack because it gives her a job to do, carrying things, while she exercises, and as a result she seems to be more relaxed.  The first time I saw her with a backpack I couldn’t…

Abby in Salem, MA

Since Nina, one of Abby’s friends, believes that there are ghosts in Stoughton, MA, Abby decided to take a trip to Salem, MA and see if she could find some witches.  You know what?  She did.  The statue behind us is that of Elizabeth Montgomery who played Samantha in Bewitched.  When I was a kid in…

Are There Ghosts In Stoughton, MA?

Nina, the cutie pie on the left, comes to hang out with Abby sometimes, and walks are always on Abby’s schedule.  Today we had some rain so we took a late morning walk. I don’t know exactly what they heard, but they both turned their heads at the same time.  Let’s remember they can hear…

My Hard Working Abby

Were you wondering what Abby was up to this morning?  My hard working girl was walking this gorgeous pit bull, Champagne, and they were both gracious enough to pose for this picture.  Ok., more like a miracle.  I took this picture when we were into our 30 minute walk.  By the way, they are both…

Martha’s Vineyard And Abby

A couple of weeks ago, we took Abby with us to Martha’s Vineyard and as you can see by the above picture, she was more interested in the food she managed to find in my bag than the beautiful scenery around her. We got lucky because the day turned out to be beautiful and we…

Abby Went to Harvard

Who said Harvard is only for humans?  We took Abby this past weekend to Harvard to walk, do some sightseeing, take pictures and, of course, continue working on her commands and behavior.  How did she do?  Not bad. The day was beautiful but because Abby is dark and part Bulldog, I had to stop for…

Kitchen: Most Popular Room In Our House

One thing I’ve realized, and many of you probably would agree with me, is that the kitchen is the most popular and used room in a house.  All of Abby’s friends love to hang out in the kitchen specially when Cynthia is cooking. After Champagne helped Cynthia prepare a delicious meal, she was very tired…

Abby Paying Her Bills In Person

Abby was pretty surprised when I told her that she needed to go in person and pay her water/sewage/garbage bill.  As you can see, she was so bothered by it that she was giving me the cold shoulder.  What a brat!  I wanted to be mad at her, but she looked so cute wearing that…

Veterans Day 2016

Let me start by saying, thanks to all the veterans, their families and the dogs that served this country.  Cynthia and I were in the Navy years ago, and we both met amazing people and learned a lot from them. We were planning to go out with the kids, but after a short walk, about…
