On our last proper weekend in Boston the Cragg/Warnes clan, including Rocky the dog, came to Boston to lead us astray. Despite boston.com prophesying a dire weekend of rain and thunder, the sun shone (naturally) and so there was much opportunity to get out and about to show these New Yorkers how fab Boston is, including how dog-friendly with all the wonderful parks and walks. We walked the Esplanade, Newbury Street (with a pit stop for a cheeky drink), Commonwealth Avenue, the Public Garden, Charles Street, the North End and the Waterfront. After all that we cooled off in the pool (sadly no dogs allowed, but I am sure Rocky would have loved a swim after all that walking).
Rocky is very much Simon and Claire's baby. In fact, he is a registered
service dog and by federal law can pretty much go where Simon and Claire go, including restaurants and supermarkets*. Zoë and Rocky have
already met, but this time she was slightly wary of him, probably because Rocky enjoyed standing under her highchair during mealtimes, waiting for cast offs and nibbling her feet. He also quite enjoyed hanging around the exersaucer in case a tasty tidbit should come his way. Smart doggy.
* But not, it transpires, 4 Emerson Place. Long story. We sneaked him in anyway.
