And Monday was the Boston Marathon(and Patriots Day in Boston).......Well we saw some of it but NOT the beginning because for the last one million years it has started at noon and we stroll up to see the first runners come through(we are about 1 mile from the finish line so they are really close) EXCEPT....today unbeknown st to PL1+2 THEY STARTED THE RACE 2 HOURS EARLIER WITHOUT TELLING THEM!!! So we missed the winners go through.. oh well .Here are some of the crowds....
Can you see the sea of runners coming in the next picture???
Here we are checking them out......
Here we are across the street and you can still hear people clapping and screaming for the runners!! The runners say they love to hear that ,it gets them going(especially when they get to us because they have run 25 miles...WITH ONE TO GO!!!)
Now this is our good friend Jeffrey who lives across the street from us.In case you can't tell he is a great dane(and we do mean great..)
We had already come back and he was on his way up so I am telling him good places to watch from.
Just a lovely spring shot.......

ohhhh that roaching looks good.
do you ever get to run in the Boston marathon. it would be fun to chase those people and play with them? do they let dogs run? that was very inconsiderate of the race organizers to start it early and not consult with you first.

How lucky you are to have seen the runners in the Boston Marathon! Did the two of you bark at them as they flew by on the way to the finish line?
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
You got to watch the marathon? You are lucky little devils. Here at the estate, Momma and Master actually WENT TO WORK on marathon day. Imagine!
Getting pretty hot out...

The first roach of the seaason, huh? We like to roach with the best of 'em -- especially on the nice golf course grass -- but we have a problem with the name 'cause, ahem, the tropics grow very large insects of the same name -- and Mom has a very loud scream if she should happen to see one (not often, thank D-G) -- so we don't know what else to call it -- but not roachin'. Although the only good insect by the same name is one with its legs in the air cause then it has e
EXPIRED.
A+A, to get on the table, all I need is a chair next to it and then it is hop, hop and I am there!!! (It only works on the outside glass table though and when only the folks are around.) My jumping skill is what has inspired me to find ways to scale that wall!!!
Fun shuts of the marathon and the Great Dane!!
Your wirey pal,
Jake
Fancy not telling you that the race was starting early....what if PL1 and PL2 wanted to enter. They would have come dead last lol.
Hey that's pretty good roaching.

My mom told me that they started the race early last year too. The BAA made that decision obviously not taking into consideration a beagle's need to sleep! The reasoning has something to do with the weather being hotter during the middle of the day - early start means cooler weather for the runners. Plus! It eases the strain of having the roads closed by starting earlier. It looks like you had fun Marathon monday! Riley and I didn't get to go cause my mom said it would interfere with her handing out beer to the marathoners on Heartbreak Hill. woof. your pal toffee
Oh! Don't worry! Tell your PL2 that I will get it next time, promise - although I may need to recruit my Jack Russell Terrible brother to help because I am not sure if Chihueagles know what to do once they've tracked a ROUS other then sniff it and yowl at it. Arizona is wayyyy too far for you to move; plus it would be difficult for the Sox to hear you cheer from there!
woof.
your pal,
toffee
(thanks for mentioning me in your blog btw)
I cannot believe they started with you. I bet that was really cool to watch all those humans running though. That grass looked just yummy to roll on. You look so happy.

Babystan wanted to play with me today and he gave me a Dale nip that was MUCH HARDER THAN I APPRECIATED...so I flew at his head snarlin' and the Big Horsehead tripped and did a complete somersault...forward....Mumsie bout peed her pants...

Hi Agatha and Archie!
Wow!! Cool marathon! Our human daddy has signed up to run the San Francisco marathon this year... he's so excited!!
And thumbs up on the roaching!! Great form!
Wags and licks,
Maya
Wow!! Great shots!! Too bad that you missed the winners. It was very inconsiderate of them not to tell you that they started earlier.
I heard that Patriots' Day is pretty neat. And you had great weather this year for a change! Too bad that we don't celebrate it in the other colonies.
Jeffery is very impressive. He looks like he's a good guy to have around.
