Boris's Barkings: Paws and Ponderings

Hey there, friends! It's Boris, and I'm so excited to tell you about the latest addition to our city adventures - my best friend, Maya! Maya is an 11-year-old American Labrador who normally lives with her pawrents in Long Island. However, lucky for me, she's been staying with us in the city for a little while now. Maya and I have been the best of friends since we were both just puppies, and I couldn't be happier to have her here with me. We've been having an amazing time exploring the city together, and I can't wait to share our adventures with you all.  Maya's arrival in the city was a much-anticipated event for me. As soon as I heard she was coming, I spent hours planning all the fun things we could do together. Maya is a little older than me, but she's still full of energy and loves to go on adventures. So, I made sure to plan activities that we could both enjoy. The first thing we did was visit Central Park. Maya had never been there before, so I mad...

Hey there, it's Boris, your favorite black Russian terrier! I know I'm not the only dog out there who loves to play, make new friends, and explore new places. That's why today, I want to talk about one of my favorite places to hang out: the dog park! Whether you're a city dog or a country pup, dog parks are a great way to socialize, exercise, and have fun. In this post, I'm going to share my personal experience with dog parks and discuss the benefits they offer to dogs and their humans alike. First off, let me tell you a little bit about my own experience with dog parks. Living in New York City, there's no shortage of parks and outdoor spaces to explore. But for me, there's nothing quite like a good dog park. I love to run, play fetch, and sniff around to my heart's content. And of course, I also love meeting new dogs and making new friends.

Hey, it's Boris the Black Russian Terrier! If you're like me, you love exploring the world with your human. But traveling can be stressful, especially if you're not prepared. That's why I'm sharing my top tips for traveling with your dog. Whether you're taking a plane, car, bus, or train, preparation is key. Make sure to bring all the necessary supplies, including food, water, a leash, and a carrier or crate if needed. Don't forget any medications or paperwork required by your destination. Understanding regulations and requirements is also important. Different countries and airlines have different rules when it comes to traveling with pets.

Dogs thrive on routine, so try to keep mealtimes, potty breaks, and exercise consistent. This will help reduce stress and anxiety for both you and your pup. Now, let's talk about some specific...

I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to accompany my pawrents to their office. Not all dogs have this privilege, but I am here to advocate for the many benefits of dog-friendly workplaces and provide tips on how to convince your boss to allow dogs in the office. Firstly, having dogs in the workplace can boost employee morale and create a positive work environment. Dogs have been proven to reduce stress levels and increase overall happiness. This translates to increased productivity and job satisfaction among employees. In fact, a study by Banfield Pet Hospital found that 82% of employees feel a greater sense of loyalty to their employer if they are allowed to bring their dog to work. Secondly, having dogs in the workplace can also increase social interaction and teamwork among employees. Dogs are natural conversation starters and can help break the ice between colleagues who may not have interacted otherwise. This can foster a sense of community and collaboration in the workplace....

As a large male black Russian terrier puppy living in NYC, I lead a busy life filled with all sorts of activities. But Mondays are special, they are the days when my humans get back to work, and I have to work beside them and support them. In this blog post, I will share my experience of conquering Mondays in NYC. Mondays are a mixed bag for me. On one hand, I like having a purpose and routine in my life. It gives me something to look forward to, and I get to accompany my humans to their workplace. It's exciting to see new people, places, and things. But on the other hand, I don't get to play as much as on the weekends. And when work is busy, it can be stressful for all of us. On a typical Monday, my humans wake up early and start getting ready for work. I love watching them as they move around the apartment, getting dressed, packing their bags, and sipping on their coffee. I always know when it's time to go to work because my humans start putting on their shoes, and I get ...
