Miss Maggie Mae is here to say, "Thank You" to all the BostonZest Sunday dogs who posed for us, brightened our days, and added their charm to our Sundays. Maggie is BostonZest's Vice-president for Security and Morale.
(She found this snowman in front of the statue of Samuel Eliot Morison on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall and gave it a complete sniff-inspection.)
Living in the city is wonderful for dog lovers, because we meet so many wonderful dogs and their families. Word of a new puppy is passed from one person, with a leash in hand, to another. New rescue dogs are welcomed, and their families thanked and supported as we all try to help their companion understand the life of a city dog.
Sadly, knowing so many dogs also means that we often face the loss of a special friend who made us smile, offered a wag and leaned in for a pat each time we met.
So, we'll pause for a moment this Sunday to think of those special dogs who left us in 2009. We'll also look forward to meeting the new dogs who'll come into our lives in 2010. And, we lift our cups of coffee with wishes for happy romps, good health, and sunny walks for all our canine pals.
