FOOTBALL IS COMING!!!!

Hi everyone!! We have had an unbelievable week which has been ACTION PACKED because PL1+2 were both on vacation AT THE SAME TIME!! SO we did a THOUSAND things all of which we will show you! First up on the agenda FOOTBALL!!! Now you know we are major sports fans here( after all I have a red sox leash and Archie has the Patriots) So PL1+2 read that the Patriots( that is our football team here), were starting training camp and you could go and watch them( some of you may remember that Archie has been of GREAT help to our coach here and coach always calls on Arch for help..)Here we are at the stadium...

They had these signs up in case you forgot it was training camp..




The SECOND that they heard we were there( well really Arch is the big man here..) we were escorted to the VIP section...

LOOK THERE THEY ARE ........PLAYING FOOTBALL!!!!!

That is Tom Brady our quarter back.. All the ladies( well maybe me too) have a little crush on him because he is so dreamy... but he just got married and has a little baby boy now...

Look there he is again and now COACH (in the shorts and gray sweatshirt) and Tom Brady are coming over BECAUSE THEY SEE ARCHIE and haven't seen him in awhile...

This is the actual stadium where they really play in season...

We made PL2 take a picture of our feet in case she was going to buy something for us and needed our measurements..

After we watched them play for a while we went to the pro shop and bought stuff( we got placements for under our bowls so when we spit stuff on the floor and then pick it up to eat it it is on that.. really we do not know what the big deal is.. doesn't everyone do that??)

We had a really fun time and now we are all excited and pumped up for some football...LET THE GOOD TIMES BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!! We will tell you all about our hiking trip to New Hampshire next!!!

ANOTHER GREATEST DAY OF OUR LIVES!!

So Arch and I were kind of sitting around and PL2 kept saying this is going to be one of your greatest days!!( Those are the days when you are sooo happy you can"t stop smiling and stuff you know them.....) So we got into the car to go to our favorite place in the world......THE ARBORETUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I get out of the car.... and I am really really staring at something......

I was thinking to myself, geesh that really really looks like someone I know.....

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!!!!!! IT'S NORWOOD!!!!!!!!!

We went to go say hi and then ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? IT IS MOMA.... JAKE AND FERGI'S PL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WITH NORWOOD!!! We knew Jake and Fergi are going EVERYWHERE and had just been to Asta's and Mich and Maggies BUT THEN THEY CAME TO US AND NORWOOD CAME TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To tell you Archie was besides himself was an understatement... He rushed over to show Norwood the sign....

I was saying hi to Jake...

So was Archie... and Fergie is right next to Jake...

Norwood thought it would be fun to get all of terriers together in front of the sign.. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? ASK 4 TERRIERS TO STAY STILL??

Here is Nina with Jake....

Now one of the major reasons Jake needed to come to Boston was that so I could give him some pointers on digging..( I can dig a mean hole if I say so myself) It seems he is on the cusp of getting it but needs a little instruction.. Here I am with his darling sister who was telling me how to approach this.....

I made a hole here for him to see how it is done and Moma and Fergie are pointing to it..( Archie is in the background looking for his idol Norwood)

We were all so excited we didn't know which way to go ...but Norwood was our fearless leader...

Now we HAD to take everyone to our favorite grassy area... and here is Archie' s idol doing his thing...... Now Jake and Fergie also had a BLAST here and did something for the first time but we will let Moma tell you about that......

So after the 80 mile walk we took them on( well they had to see everything..) we were taking a little rest....

Norwood was SHOCKED...ARE YOU KIDDING ME???WE ARE DONE???

We all turned to Moma for the answer( well really I was taking in a little sun here with my eyes closed..)

So we thought we better take them to one of our swimming spots..( if you look closely you will notice that the only one allowed off lead is Arch's idol.......)

Can you see me up front practicing an Esther Williams move?And look at Fergi go! She had such a wonderfull time swimming...

BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE!! We had a picnic!!!!! Once again Norwood was a little shocked by the crackerjack terrier behavior....

HAHAHAHAH look at them( I am under the table as everyone knows they drop TONS of stuff... Norwood told Arch he would do better.......

Like this.... solo..........

Then we doggies all had a gigantic rest and PL1+2 gave one of their action packed see Boston tours with PL1 narrating...... and they made Moma and Nina smell the Atlantic Ocean( Archie was SHOCKED to learn they don't have the Atlantic Ocean out west) and of course they ended their day with one of these....

And once again we learned that DWB people are the best in the world and that we love them very very much and that their puppies rule( but of course we already knew that...)

TOUR TIME WITH A+A!!!!!! STEP UP STEP UP!!

So PL1+2 and my brother and I decided to get out of the hot city for the day and we went to beautiful Portsmouth New Hampshire which is right on the ocean as well........

It is a very old little town and has some cool stuff there like this.....

Look at his lovely federalist style house.......

AND LOOK AT THIS.............

HE PLANTED THIS TREE!! (PL2 made PL1 take this picture because she was afraid she was going to drop the camera over the fence..)

It has cool places right on the water to eat.....

LOOK AT THIS!! A RED SOX WATER BOWL!!!!!

MMMMMMMMMMM.........

Look at this neat tugboat...Archie was going to ask if he could drive it..geesh....

Funky little street with cool shops and restaurants........

We took a little rest on a bench....I went under the bench as it was cool there........

What you don't do that???

Archie THREW his head to the left because he saw this......

(he LOVES gelato...)

Just checking out the sights with my PL's...

OF COURSE they found the book store( they ALWAYS drag us to them...)I thought maybe they would have some books at our level....

Archie thought so too....

Welllll lets go.........

Funky little street...

So we got a little hungry and we found this place...PL1+2 used to have a black lab mutt named Ollie so they had to eat there( plus the sandwiches were on home baked bread....)

Archie trying to score food by using his wicked cute pose.....

I of course know that if you sit UNDER the table they drop TONS of stuff there.....

PL2 saw this next door.....YUMMMMMY.....

Just relaxing by the table until I saw I was sitting by this.........

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? MS KITTY???????

Beautiful building.......

So much to see.........

Now another reason PL1+2 love this place is because it is FULL of old hippies(like them)and it has funky funky stuff there.....Who knows what this is..... must be ARTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

How cool is this??

OF COURSE!!! A FLASHBACK!!!!!!!

And the day wouldn't be complete without a quick dip to cool off........

Here I am on the drive home..PL2 had a shot of Archie and me together in the same bed asleep( I THINK NOT) but blogger kept eating it for some reason( oh I don't think so...there WAS no such picture..) Hope you enjoyed the tour!!!!
