Yappy Hour: Coolest Event Ever for Dogs and Their Owners
I've Moved! The Boomer Chronicles has closed after 6 years, but you can keep up with me on my new blog at http://www.rheabecker.com
Around Boston, events featuring dogs and their owners have caught on. Perhaps this has happened in your area, too? Last night the Canine Prince and I attended Yappy Hour at the Liberty Hotel Boston. This hotel is the former Charles Street Jail. It’s now a glamorous destination. Anyway, Yappy Hour rocked! On a picture-perfect night, a crowd of 50 or so dogs of every size and breed (from chihuahua to Great Dane — in fact, there were two Great Danes) ran around the courtyard while their owners downed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. It was a blast. Here’s some of the evidence (Sparky in the subway; choosing between water and a mixed drink; a crowd of attendees; all worn out):

Hey! There’s a shiba inu in the bottom left shot! Woohoo!

Yes, there was definitely a shiba inu there. The breed you have?

Sounds like a lot of fun. But my dog, who’s scared of everything and everybody, would have a heart attack. Actually, we could never get her there, because she’s scared of getting in the car to go anyplace. Ah well, we love her anyway.
And … three cheers for Diana Nyad!
