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.
out & about in j.p.
Spotted! Sidewalk Score of a Lifetime
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.

Spotted! Window Westie
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…)
Spotted! Badass Doggies in the Window
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…)
Spotted! Legs That Just Don’t Quit
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?
Spotted! Southern Gal Moves to JP
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…)
Spotted! The Boss
My brother was visiting a few weeks ago and took this photo outside little City Feed. This little critter, with the most beautiful brown eyes, is owning the place.
Spotted! Sadie, Unstoppable Lady
Arlo and I had the absolute pleasure of running into this determined little love the other day at Peter’s Hill. Sadie is a 16 year old cockapoo. She’s actually a Rozzie dog but her tenacity of spirit and sheer adorability made it so she entered into that rare category of non-JP Dogs who make the cut for the blog. Sadie’s been rolling around on her wheels since two years ago when he legs gave out. Though her human said she’s hard of hearing and her vision is fading, that didn’t stop her from chasing after Arlo. He usually tries to hump other dogs, but with Sadie he just couldn’t figure out how to rig the system! (Continue for 2 more photos…) (more…)

Spotted! Lyle in the Wild
The other day Arlo and I were rounding a corner, looking at all the lovely trees when all of a sudden I noticed a little white puffball in the midst of the greenery. It was Lyle! He was sitting there quietly, also looking at all the lovely trees. We first met Lyle as a puppy when he was out and about, but I didn’t actually know where he lived so it was really fun to see him, out of the blue, in his home territory, and all grown up.
