Sir Charles

Nikita's number one playmate since we moved to Boston is Charlie, a one-year-old hound mix who lives a couple blocks away.  

I typically text his owner, Kate, mid-afternoon to see if they can meet us in a local fenced-in playground to run around.  It ends up working out at least a few times a week, which is good for all four of us, as N and Charlie get to exhaust themselves, and Kate and I get to wear out our pups without wearing out ourselves in the process.

Lots of running, lots of wrestling, lots of biting, and Kate and I get to just stand there and chit-chat.  w00t!

St. Patrick's Day

My aunt Judy sent me a ridiculously fun St. Patrick's Day care package, which included this pair of shamrock-shaped sunglasses.  Henrey and Melina next door had some fun with them, as did Nikita and I:

Weekend Warrior

Our friend Kevin's been spending a good number of weekends in Boston the last couple months and we've taken alot of fun day-trips around New England.  First up was gorgeous Newport, Rhode Island, where we took a several-mile stroll along the puppy-friendly Cliff Walk:

The next day, we went back to Rhode Island, to Wickford, Jamestown, and Newport again.  Below are shots from the Beavertail Park in Jamestown and just off of Ocean Drive in Newport:

Nikita seemed to get a big kick out of climbing around on the rocks, which may've reminded her of being out on the Point back when we lived in Chicago...

A couple weekends later, we drove up along the coast of Maine, stopping in Kittery to see Fort McCleary, from which the next two photos are taken:

We continued on, stopping in York to check out the Nubble Lighthouse at Cape Neddick; in Ogunquit to have a fantastic lunch at MC Perkins Cove in the jumble of old fishermen's huts now housing a bunch of restaurants and shps; and Old Orchard Beach to let Nikita run around on (and dig in) the sand.  We also drove through Saco and  Kennebunkport, before ending the day in Portland, where we walked around for a couple hours admiring the architecture before heading back to Beantown.
