The weekly Video/Photo section highlights an Adventure, while I might also sneak in some that are humorous, adorable, or just other fun dog moments. If you have followed my blog from the beginning you know that I adopted Shadow as a puppy, and about a year later adopted Buster as a puppy.  We had many wonderful years together before experiencing the devastating loss of Buster at just seven.  It took a long time for our hearts to heal, but almost a year after his passing we welcomed little Wilma into our world.  We were devastated to loose Shadow on April 3, 2020.These two precious boys boys will be furever in our hearts! We were recently thrilled to add another amazing rescue, Gus, to our home on June 28, 2021! This Weekly Video/Photo section will allow me to share photos from all four of my rescues, whether it be a precious memory, or a current moment.

Todays photograph is one of Wilma and Gus from this past weekend’s trip to Plymouth. They were posing on a bench high above a lovely coastal scene. I think this has been one of my favorite places in Plymouth to take photos. This picture might be a repeat for friends and family, but I had to share with my followers. Here they are:

November 26, 2022 – The Scallop Shells of Plymouth, MA

Today Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to the beautiful town of Plymouth, Massachusetts. We spent three hours walking this lovely coastal town. Plymouth is a coastal town in southern Massachusetts. It is famous for the history of being the first Pilgrim settlement in 1620. Since I have blogged about Plymouth before, yet still was inspired to share I thought I would blog about the Public Art Display of the Scallop Shells. These works of art are displayed throughout the waterfront and downtown Plymouth. They have been created from fiberglass and crafted from local artists.

We had a refreshing Adventure to Plymouth. It has been soo long since we had a “normal” Adventure, or even a local walk as I was fighting Bronchitis and some additional symptoms for over a month. I finally feel better with just a cough here and there so off we went. I absolutely love walking in Plymouth, including: the coastal scenery, a river walk with tunnel art, the grist mill, a pond with a bridge and ducks, shops and restaurants decorated for the season, and many historical landmarks. We spent three hours walking, posing, and working on our favorite holiday Christmas card. It was a beautiful New England day, the sun shining brightly. My plan was to print a map of the shells, but I forgot! Although I could have pulled it up on my phone that can be a little cumbersome to view while walking two energetic dogs. So, I photographed the shells we located, and just enjoyed the day. Wilma and Gus loved walking, savoring endless sea smells, and of course some Wilma rolls. Really just what we needed! So glad we can share the Scallop Shells of Plymouth today (this blog will not be rated).

Todays photograph is one of Wilma from one of our local walks early this month. I was actually taking a shot of Wilma and Gus but Gus had more exciting things to watch (haha!). Wilma was quite focused so the perfect Weekly Photo. Here she is:

Today’s photograph is one of sweet Gus cuddled by my side. I have been quite sick for almost a month now and Wilma and Gus have been taking great care of me, laying closely, making me laugh, and keeping me going. I think very slowly things are turning around and I am hoping we will be on a new Adventure soon. So grateful for the amazing therapy these two have provided me. Here is one of sweet Gus:

Other Tidbits, Fun, and News

I am excited to announce that I will be adding a new category to my Menu, New England Rail Trails!! I have been to many Rail Trails over the years so thought it was time to add this category. I am hoping that I did not miss any, but there is always a chance of that. Most blogs are adventures on just the Rail Trail, however some of the blogs include them as part of the Adventure. I have been sick for over two weeks now and have been miserable this weekend. Therefore, I thought this was a good time to add this category having no new blogs to share.

I decided to pick a variety of photographs from these blogs and create a collage below. We have explored Rail Trails in all seasons and found quite the variety of scenery from bridges to sculptures to wood to lakes, and much more. Wilma definitely has been the queen of the Rail Trails, having been to the majority of Trails. However, I believe the first one I discovered was when I resided in Pepperell and enjoyed the local Rail Trail regularly with Shadow and Buster. Gus has been to many, and I am sure there will be more to come. Below you will see the direct link, however you can also find this category in the menu.

Today’s photograph is one of Wilma and Gus playing tug of war. I have loved watching these two bond, playing more and more every day. They enjoy tug of war, keep away, and running throughout the yard. Although Gus often is the initiator in these play sessions, Wilma too begins the fun. It has been just so special to watch this pair grow to perfection. Here they are, in action:
