The Mother Matilda Beasley Park is located on East Broad Street in downtown Savannah. The dog park was created in Spring 2008 and is maintained by the Chatham County Commissioners.

This site is very unofficial and is for the benefit of dogs and dog owners who frequent the park or those that are interested in visiting. We have no authority over the park except for our mutual interest in keeping it a vital community space.

Free to a good home. We have a beautiful beagle named Apollo, he's a little too hyper and we don't have a yard for him. He needs someone who will exercise him well. He's house trained and knows a few tricks. Please contact me at 703-338-8701 to set up an appointment, ask for Kati.

Pet Airways

There was a bit about this new airline on NPR this morning as I headed into work. There's a new airline, Pet Airways, starting up to service 5 major US cities (unfortunately not Savannah) that only transports cats and dogs. This means that they have outfitted the passenger bay of the plane for animal transport as opposed to having them in the cargo. Check out the commercial.

Fancy Schmancy

I'm so thankful that we have our space, but honestly I don't think that I would mind taking Ahab to a doggie water park after picking up my latte at the cafe. Check out this article about a new commercial dog park in Dallas.

Dear Diary, It's me... Lola! 3.25.09


Dear Diary,

Dude, sometimes you just need to take some time out of your day to get a good nap in. I mean, it gets so exhausting running around sniffing things, licking myself and spazing out every time my human comes home. So to keep myself refreshed and looking young, I like to get a few Z's in each day. It keeps my hairs nice and soft and my mind sharp.

I highly suggest you do the same my furry brothers and sisters. It will keep you fresh for all the licking and sniffing you'll need to do throughout the day.

Refreshed and soft,
Lola
