Here at snifbostondogs, we are big believers in picking up after your pooch. We know it’s not the most glamorous of jobs, but we do it for the love of our canine counterpart. We are pretty impressed with the diligence of Boston dog owners. However, for those few stragglers out there, we found this lovely lesson for you! Now, you can’t argue ignorance!

Living in the city with a dog can definitely be a drag sometimes, especially when your pooch is a little stir crazy. As the weather warms, take a drive to Elm Bank. Approximately half an hour from Boston, Elm Bank not only welcomes dogs, but provides doggy poop bags to encourage visitors to pick up after their canine companion! Chopper had a blast running at full speed!
Hi Readers!
Elizabeth here! I had the most AMAZING weekend because I got to spend it with my favorite pooch, Emperor Chopper! Having Chopper around is great not only because he is a ball of fun, but because he is teaching me about being a responsible dog owner.

On Saturday, we had a bit of drama. We had to take Chopper to the Veterinarian’s office! Friday night, Chopper started to make funny noises; he would elongate his neck and snort. Being the overprotective nervous type, I rushed him the emergency room only to learn that Chopper was “reverse sneezing.” Reverse sneezing is something can be set off by a myriad of things including eating, excitement, even pollen! These spasms are most common in Pugs and Boxers because they have “flat faces”. Chopper’s spasms appeared to be from a slight cold he had developed. Just to be safe, we took it easy Saturday night and watched old movies.
Despite being a bit under the weather, Chopper was his chipper and handsome self. We had a marvelous weekend and I cannot WAIT until he stays over again!
After a sneak preview of spring last week, it seems like we might finally have some warmer weather coming our way.
We thought it was perfect timing to start talking about getting outside to the local dog parks again!
On this blog you can look through our old posts on dog parks and don’t forget to check out our map of all the local parks
What park will you be taking your dog to once it starts getting nicer out?

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!
Do you have a story you want us to tell? Would you like to see your dog appearing in this blog? Please send us your dog's picture and story at blog@sniflabs.com.
