Every once in a while, a non JP-dog makes the cut. This acrobatic pup is one of those rare times. A friend of one of my JP Dogs field agents, texted her this photo this morning. She spotted these two during her commute in Malden.
I spotted this Golden on Centre Street outside of City Feed yesterday. This beautiful dear was a calm, soothing balm in the midst of the loud, frenetic roadwork mayhem in Centre JP. Every street corner should be so medicinal.
Blue Basil Audino is a five year old Chinook, who we first met on JP Dogs when I spotted this gentle giant on my street. It was love at first sight for me.
From his human: “Nicknames are too abundant to list in full, but I often call him “Blueberry Muffin Dog” because he’s a sweet little muffin, and “Sherlock” because he takes sooooooo long to sniff the tiniest things on our walks that it feels as though he’s treating everything like the big clue that will crack his latest case wide open. We’ve taken to using the word “sherlocking” to describe this.” (more…)
I spotted the slice on the ground, outside the Southern Jamaica Plain Health Center, but assumed I’d have time to grab it before Arlo did. But in one fell swoop he scooped it up, like he’d been born knowing that if you have to quickly grab a piece of pizza on the run, you always grab it by the crust. It was downright athletic. Of course, then he went into defensive posture, giving me looks like, “Mofo, if you try to take THIS from me, I will bite you. I don’t care whose mama you are. Do you see the size of this piece of pizza???”
I sure did. Since it was practically the size of his whole body, I did not want Arlo ingesting this thing. So I decided to go to battle. First I grabbed and tore at it, getting decent chunks. Meanwhile, he’s trying to gulp the whole thing down, or what was remaining, without even chewing. Time was of the essence, and I didn’t have a single treat on me to try to barter.

Arlo and I had to stop by AAA Appliance on Centre Street today. Turns out there’s a resident Westie who hangs out there, but we were in too much of a rush to get the deets! (Continue for one more photo…) (more…)
I spotted these three yesterday in the window of Fancy Schmancy. Nothing says JP cool like this trio. Keep it real, guys. (Nothing says JP uncool like saying ‘keep it real, guys’.) (Continue for two more photos…) (more…)
Ted is a 12 year old rescued Boston Terrier / Chihuahua mix. He may also answer to Teddy Spaghetti or the Tedster. His human says, “When I went to meet him he immediately jumped in my lap and I fell in love at that moment!” (Continue for 3 more Ted photos) (more…)
Now, I don’t mean to objectify this lady or fella, but come on, look at those lonnnng legs! Also, isn’t our neighborhood good-lookin’ too?
I had the good fortune of meeting Maisie outside the post office, where she proceeded to play bow at me! Her human said she’s about two years old and they recently rescued her from South Carolina. We are so glad you joined us, dear Maisie! (Continue for 4 more photos…) (more…)
