The pug meetup that takes place once a month at Doggie Day, located at 400 Tremont St in Boston, is definitely one of the most social dog playgroups we have been to. Last weekend’s meetup was full of nice pug owners with their pretty babies. If you have a pug, or if you just like them, this meetup is a great opportunity to meet other pug lovers, to socialize your pug and to exchange tips about the breed. Next event will take place on February 2nd at 10 am at Doggie Day.

Who is this supercute old man!? It is Santa Claus!! And not just any Santa Claus: he is only for dogs! It seems that the old man flew from the North Pole to meet Boston dogs at Doggie Day, last Saturday and Sunday.

There were so many dogs who booked a picture with Santa- here are pictures of just a few of them. All profits of the event benefited Canine Companion for Independence.

By the way, Santa is a big dog lover, too! He is pictured below with his babies Cleo and Oomer.

Both this weekend and next one your dog has the opportunity to meet Santa and get a pic with him!
These photos would make great gifts, getting a lot of your holiday shopping taken care of in one easy step.

Several animal blessings took place in Boston in the past few weeks. Here are some pics from a blessing at Christ Church in Cambridge, around Harvard Square.

All animals, including several dogs, ferrets, and fish, assisted to the ceremony in the church. After the function, everybody moved to another room, where the blessing took place. There was food both for animals and people, and rev. Jeffrey W. Mello blessed all animals there. The event was really special - and all people and animals who took part to it had a lot of fun!

Last Sunday it was a beautiful sunny day at Brookline Playground. There were several dogs having fun at the park: members of the All Dogs Play meetup as well as dogs who live around the park.

The Brookline Playground is huge and you can take your dog off-leash there every day before 1pm. Plus, the park is totally fenced-in!

If your Yorkshire is tiny and you would like to socialize him or her with other Yorkshires of the same size, join the Little Yorkshire meetup! This group of amazing Yorkshire owners meet every month in Boston. Here are some photos from the meetup that took place last Sunday at Doggie Day, a day care and pet boutique located at 400 Tremont St in Boston.
Kellyann, the owner of Baby, and Kat, the owner of Chou Chou, started this playgroup around one year ago. Month after month, the group got bigger and several gorgeous little yorkies attend the event now!

Among the new members who attended the event there was Taki (pictured below) with his owner Maria. We met Taki several months ago, when he was a puppy, and we went hiking with Kevin, a dog walker, and a group of other dogs.
Taki is now one-year-old, and he is still more beautiful!
