The cutest dog moments of the day
Update on the Somerville Dog Mayor race. My dog’s boyfriend, Wally Pascal, placed 5th… thanks to everyone who rallied and barked the vote to get him there. The mayoral seat was won by Jake, a 10-yr old mix of all the goodest boys … and lifelong resident of Somerville.

If you live in Boston area - Somerville, Cambridge, Medford, etc. and you need a little joy… this pawlitical pawty at Remnant Brewery in Somerville’s Bow Market (Union Square) this coming Tuesday will provide a nice little distraction for a couple hours. Free ice cream for the pups, raffles, & more!

Little Wally is only 18 votes away from the top 5 for local Somerville Dog Mayor election. His mum needs some joy after TWO rounds of layoffs (2 companies) in 12 months. Voters don’t have to live here. Could you help Wally get those 18 votes by voting & sharing? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Today’s pupper moment of joy is… well, there were a bunch of moments today. Just look at these candidates for Somerville Dog Mayor!!! Beau, Wally, Missy & Luna, and Jake… just 4 of the 40 … all are incredibly derpy and easily more qualified to run the city than any human politician I’ve met.

He suffered a great deal. He died at the hospital days later. Based on the CCTV video, we believe he walked out in front of the truck on purpose.
It was preventable IF there’d been a better system to get help for those dealing with mental illness that needs intervention. Today is Joey’s birthday.

Today’s pupper moment of joy… my girl Jessica with her stick. She never dogs like this. In our 7 years together, she’s only played with a stick 3 times! I love watching her do traditional pup things.

Today’s pupper moment of joy is Whiskey, after a peanut butter soft serve … saving a little piece of cone on his wiry chin for later.
This is your sign to savor moments in life like Whiskey savors an ice cream cone! Make a mess. Get it all over your face. Save some for later.

Today’s daily pupper moment of joy is Mogul… this sweet boy has tri-pawd mobility and doesn’t let that stop him. He swung in today to check out the fall sweaters and grab himself some dog-formulated soft serve. A total win of a day.

Today’s pupper moment of joy is Wally, exhausted after a long play date with his bestie at the parko. He stopped into my store with his mom and quickly fell asleep on her lap, ears and toe beans tucked.
