This meetup is for ALL dogs and their companions to enjoy each others' company out in the fresh air. All dogs and their companions are welcome to join - we do not discriminate against anyone! Small, Medium, Large, Furry or Furless, we love you all. To start, we'll meet once or twice a month at a park in or near Waltham. If there's demand, we'll meet more frequently. Membership to this meetup is free. Feel free but not obliged to contribute a dollar or two after a few meetup events.

Instead of bringing dogs to a fenced in "boxing ring" to rough house and potentially get hurt, we are bringing them on a focused walk in their most natural state - in a pack. We can do simple paved trails, such as Bare Cove or Pond Meadow Park. Or we can step it up a notch and try the paths less traveled, and go for hikes on the Blue Hills. Location suggestions are welcome! So, all friendly pups and their owners, come join us on our walks for exercise, socialization and some fresh air. Rememb …

Like most greyhounds, my big beautiful brindle boy, Jacoby, loves other greys immediately. I thought I'd like to let him meet other greyhounds in the area. We can walk, we can play, we can chase. And we can make new friends -- greyhound and human alike. Please note: This group is meant for greyhounds and their humans only, as greys typically get nervous around other dog breeds. We'll stick to walking in parks where the terrain isn't so bad until the winter thaws out a bit! Be sure to check out t …
