Today's Sunday Dogs are Daizy (the brindle coated lovely on top) and Oliver (the fawn colored sweetheart below.) They live and play in West Roxbury and are occasionally featured on one of our favorite blogs, Boston Food and Whine.
Both dogs are what we call "Adorables" with generous gene pools. (We prefer the term Adorables to mutt or mixed breed.) Both were rescued and are fortunate to have wonderful people to care for them.
Tammy told us a bit about them.
"Mostly, Oliver and Daizy spend the bulk of their time playing in the backyard together, chasing our cat and barking at all the dogs that walk past our house!"
Their favorite places to enjoy the outdoors in West Roxbury
"Just like the rest of the city, there are little to no areas for us to let the dogs run off leash.
That said, we are lucky enough to live up on Bellevue Hill (highest point above sea level in the city of Boston), which abuts up against the Stony Brook Reservation. So literally... just about 50 yards from our front door, is a wooded area that the dogs love and where they can feel like they are "outside the city" but still well within the city limits.
The neighborhood of West Roxbury also has Millennium Park... which is a huge outdoor space that the dogs love; Billings Field, which is not officially an off-leash area, but has a large amount of space that is about 95% fenced in and Jamaica Pond and the Arboretum is a mere few miles down the road."
How they help with Boston Food and Whine
"Let's just say they get their fair share of leftovers.... but even better yet, they lick all my pots and pans before I put them in the dishwasher... thus alleviating the need of pre-rinsing!"
