Boston ::: Part I

Spent some time this weekend up in Boston. :) It was disgustingly hot! But I did snap a few shots here and there...

Sunflowers grow like crazy in the tiny neighborhoods...


And are visited by many happy bees!


I think Grover would love this doggie park, don't you?


The kids certainly have the right idea!


Every street light control needs a dinosaur, right?


Ooof... apparently there is backstory with this Hilton? Hmmm...


Some good grub is always a must.




As is some good grog.


And of COURSE, the absolute necessity during a scorcher/skawcha:


To be continued...

The best laid plans...

... of bulldogs and girls? Hmmm... just a couple of notes for future reference:

1) Just because an ink pad clearly looks dark black in the store does not necessarily mean it is.

2) Just because your dog is an angel while you stamp his paw over and over does not mean he won't get a bee up his butt and have a case of the zoomies immediately thereafter...

whereupon

3) Darkish-greenish-bluish pawprints all over wood floors are easily enough cleaned with soap and water. Especially when they are "washable", "child safe," and "non-toxic" prints. But... it's not exactly FUN when they continue to reproduce maddeningly because SOMEONE thinks it's a game.

But we were at least successful!!! So I'll take this opportunity to hawk my main man's book again. :)

Be sure to check out It's Not Over 'Til It's Grover and send an email to the "star" if you wish to have a limited edition pawprint mailed to you. Thank you to everyone who has emailed Grover so far. We hope to get yours mailed ASAP! =) Definitely a labor of love... haha!

Pawtographs Available!

Public service announcement to anyone who has purchased a copy of It's Not Over 'Til It's Grover!

We've had quite a few requests for actual "pawtographs" and since orders go direct through Blurb, the Star himself is not able to actually autograph anything. :)

So we are offering special "limited edition" book plates!



If you ordered a book, or are planning on ordering one, and would like a very special stomp of approval, please send Grover an email to GroverTheBulldog at gmail dot com with your address, and we'll be happy to put one in the mail for you!

The pawprint will of course be the REAL thing... might not be as well shaped and pretty as the place holder above, but it will be authentic!

(The funniest thing is that I got my order of stickers today, and in true dingbat fashion, I actually ordered them as you see above. WITH the pawprint placeholder. I forgot to delete the layer. Duh. So I've now ordered them AGAIN. Ugh. Please some of you photographers - PLEASE tell me you've done stupid stuff like this. =) I can't believe I did that. Not to mention, I'm now stuck with 50 stickers I can't use!! Ha!)

Hammonasset State Park was hopping today... I wish I could bring my camera to get a "good" shot of all the colorful umbrellas and chairs but alas, I'd be too afraid to mix the expensive camera and sand. :)

So camera phone shots will have to do.





And this one just cracked me up... it was literally PACKED until a bunch of people all left at the same time and left us with a huge empty area. In taking this shot of the cute little couple down by the water, I realized it looked completely deserted.



I do wish there weren't so many jellyfish SO bloody early in the season that they had to put warning signs up everywhere, and I wish I wasn't the color of a steamed lobstah at the moment. But all in all, a lovely day at the beach!!!
