Goobers in Beantown

Asta's daddi, George, was a quick study at the wheel of the GoobMobile on the way to Boston. With me as his trusty co-pilot he could hardly go wrong.



Of course, co-piloting still allowed me time to dole out goober smooches to the passengers.





In just a few hours we were in Boston, snout-to-snout with Agatha & Archie and their mom & dad!




We decided to give back to the city of Boston by displaying ourselves on Boston Common for a little Airedmiration and Wiredmiration.



I have to say that Agatha and Archie are FABULOUS at the tour guide gig. They even have a little comedy schtick they do and totally had Asta cracking up! (See her on the right telling her mommi the punchline?)




At times I felt like a black & tan boy at the tri-color convention.




Agatha even had time between sightseeing tours for a nice roach before the arrival of...




Ms. Sophia La Brador (Goober code name: Sophoober Bradoober). Here she is with her bootiful mama, Sherry.




There was so much going on that sometimes I wasn't sure which way to look. Aggie & Archie's dad was so gracious to us Beantown neophytes.



Agatha & Archie asked Sophie and Asta to tell them what they wanted to do. They consulted for a few minutes.



Frankly, I didn't care what we did as long as we were together!



We decided to aire out the hoomans and get them walkin'. Funny, though. They seemed to do so much talkin' they didn't get as much walkin' in as we wanted them to.




I found this house on Beacon Hill. I'm seriously considering buying it, but couldn't get anyone to show it to me on such short notice.



While perusing the real estate options Sophie's mama snuck over to get some goober lovin'. (She couldn't resist me... SERIOUSLY!)



This little Cairn Terrier guy showed up and strutted through our little walking pawty. He was adorable (according to my girl), but he was no Petey!




Sophie and I admired the architecture.




We stopped outside the house of Senator John Kerry, since he was probably waiting inside to receive our party.



Sophie & I conferred and decided to forego the visit to Casa de Kerry in lieu of more walking with our buds.




Sophie & I were forced to bond by my girl since we were going to be sleeping in the same hotel room with our mama and girl. (Asta slept with her parents on their big bed, on which there was not room enough for me!)



When we got back to the hotel for a very satisfied and much-needed snooze, Sophie had to be locked in her box so she wouldn't jump my goober bod. (This is Stanley's girl here. It was DEFINITELY the other way around. We locked Sophie in her box ~ which she loves, we've been told ~ to protect her honor and to keep Stanley from having to duel her boyfriend, Joe Stains. Sophie really is irresistible to everydog who meets her!)



On a much brighter note, at least my sweetpea Asta got to see my sexy pose on my Hugh Heffner bed!


Agatha & Archie, give your sweet parents big goob smooches from me for being so willing to give booty and ear scritches, and for whispering to me repeatedly how much they love me! I had a BLAST in Beantown, and can't wait to come back to explore more with you!!!
Go by Asta's blog to see more photos of our historic Boston dogfest! You won't be sorry!
Goober love,
Stanley

Hey! What's that Petey impersonator doing in Boston? Probably pretended to be a Boston Red Sox fan too! Harroooo! (That's one of my patented howls. Ask your Mommy, she got it on film!)

Wish I could have gone with you to see Mommy's old stomping grounds.

When are we going to get to play at the dog run? You gotta see me in action!

Your pal,

Petey

Bogart H. Devil said...

Mama and I are living vicariously though you my friend - she is from NY and lived in Boston for awhile so I had to listen to her drone on and on about how cool your trip was...

I mean, yes it's super-duper cool but having to hear her say it over and over... geez.

Much love & Goobersmackeroos,

Bogart
