Alex’s Corner

       So, is everyone about ready for this rain to be over? Riley and I are! Seems like it has been forever since we’ve seen the sun. I figured this week I would need a really awesome place to suggest to bring your pup once the sun decides to appear again. The winner this week is Bare Cove.

Bare Cove is located along the banks of the Weymouth Back River in the town of Hingham, MA and it really is an amazing place to bring your little buddy. It is no doubt that they probably have a ton of cooped up energy and are going to need a lot of exercise. After being indoors for days, Bare Cove is the perfect place for them to just go nuts. Dogs are allowed off leash but just remember, the park is not fenced in. Bare Cove has 469 acres of land filled with paved trails and woodland trails to walk, run, bike ride, whatever you and your pup love to do. On the weekends the park is filled with other friendly dog with very friendly owners. Riley and I have yet to come across and unfriendly dog, which is really awesome. Because of the responsible owners, this park stays super clean so make sure to bring some disposable bags to do your part.

       It seems as if we haven’t seen the sun in weeks.  And it feels like even longer since I have been out to eat with my Riley.  But, when a nice sunny weekend decides to appear, you will find Riley and I at the Parish Cafe for Lunch.        

       Located on Boylston Streen in Boston, Riley and I have only been there once before with one of my good friends and her chocolate lab Missy.  It was a total accident when we found this Cafe.  One sunny Saturday, we took the pups on a T ride into Boston to walk around the Public Garden.  After walking around for about an hour we walked around the corner onto Boylston Street and saw the Parish Cafe.  I was pretty exhausted from holding Riley back from trying to run after the ducks so we decided to have a seat on the outdoor patio and grab a bite.  The service was really great and they were happy to bring water for our thirsty pups.  We ordered a couple sandwiches that I couldn’t get over!  We learned that the sandwiches were created by a famous local chef which I thought was pretty cool.  The prices weren’t too expensive but not super cheap either.  Riley and I will definitely be back if we ever see the sun again.

Happy eating!
