[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]While Memorial Day may mark the unofficial start to summer, today is the real deal. Happy Summer Solstice, ladies and gents. We reached 90 degrees in Boston, my hair was extra poodle-ly, I started sweating from my elbow creases while walking to get…

Today: Relax in the grass.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]One of my favorite places in the city is just a short run (or if we’ve got the Frenchie with us, drive) away. Castle Island is the perfect place to people watch, catch a view of ships and freighters coming in, or simply…

Today: When the cat’s away…
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]…the mice fiancee and Frenchie will play. Muhahaha. I didn’t know much about (non-hamster) pets before we brought Clark home. I thought, for example, that dogs needed to be bathed every night. Turns out, you can wait until they smell like Fritos. That’s Clark’s…

Today: Look at me! I’m three!
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Clark’s celebrating his third birthday today. He’s as wrinkly, brindley, and snuggly as ever. What a love he is. Happy Birthday, little buddy. And a very, very happy birthday to my older brother. 🙂 Also On Tap for Today: Fitness testing at Ultimate…

Today: Clark weighs in.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Clark fancies himself an explorer. Whether it’s casually climbing atop the toilet, taking a seat on my laptop, or tiptoeing across the window sill, he is determined to go where no Frenchie has gone before. Today’s adventure? The scale. I was in the…

Today: Teach an old dog new tricks.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Who says you can’t teach an ol’ dog new tricks? Just yesterday, Clark taught himself how to climb up on the window sill, where he tried his best to communicate with the Frenchie that moved in across the way. She has yet to…
