Higham Shipyard

Most of my weekend was taken up by the STELLAR social media conference, PodCamp 5 Boston


....so Tessie spent most of the weekend sleeping.

But for the time I WAS home, we tried to get out and about. And what better want than to visit out new favorite store- Unleashed - this time in the Higham Shipyard!

So...naturally...we got lost on the way there. I left my GPS in Rhode Island and have been reminded multiple times this past week why I bought the GPS in the first place. I have no sense of direction. Got lost going to PodCamp. And got lost going to Unleased.

While lost, we stopped for gas. Tessie - somehow knowing that we were lost - was cranky. We were at a full service station, where the nice gas pumping gentleman offered Tessie a bone! She snubbed it.

But me and my pissed off puppy eventually reached the Shipyard...


Ta-da! Doesn't Tessie look SO excited to be there? Yeah. She was mad until we got inside, where she found a new favorite food - dog oreos. They are like two biscuts with yougart inside. Shewas much happier after bribing the woman who worked there to give her one.


She was a big fan of the grounds there in general. Our afternoon was cut short when it started to rain, but she at least got to mark her territory all over their mini golf course!


She was in a much better mood when we got back in the car and finally ate the bone from the gas station.

We darted over to PetSmart in Braintree from there. I'm running all over town looking for a sweatshirt for her - she's too big for a medium but too small for a large. I'll find something. At PetSmart, we ran into her favorite trainer Colleen and two of her old classmates from her puppy training class last year!!

After catching up for a while, we did some shopping. No sweatshirts. However, Tessie - who is usually nervous in stores and could care less about toys - picked out a squeaky toy. She literally took it off the shelf and started shaking it. So what choice did I have but to buy it for her?

She loves it so much that, as soon as we got in the car, she went in the bag and took it out! She NEVER does that!

Everyone ended up happy with that one....she got a new toy, I got the picture for my annual Halloween card.


Best $3.00 I ever spent!
