That's my blog! It also appeared in my first book Drink & Tell: A Boston Cocktail Book. I remember the moment that the Tommy Noble creator, Dave Cagel, found out that after over a decade, he was finally getting a recipe published in a book!

Hell yes! (~):-}

Oh my god! Are you the Cocktail Virgin that posted the Tommy Noble recipe on blog spot in 2009?? I refer to that recipe all the time! I have it screenshotted for safe keeping!

What is the Shapiro pharmacy?

Best Tommy Nobles around, can’t wait to visit.

Last year in Allston, I ran into my friends mom frantically looking for her dog (a small Yorkie). They were at a park and the last thing she saw was a women petting her dog. She didn’t think anything of it and answered a text. The next thing she knew the dog was gone. When I saw her she had been searching for an hour. I called vets, shelters and the local police station and left my info with them. 5 hours later a women called me saying she found the dog roaming the streets in Watertown and that she picked it up bc it looked lost. I drove her to pick up the dog in Newton and they basically asked her for money for the dogs return. She was so shaken up that she just paid the women, no questions asked but I found the whole thing suspicious.

1. The dog’s pretty clingy to her and never wonders far and 2. Why didn’t the women just call the number on the dog collar when she initially found it? There’s a lot of sketchy people who do sketchy things for unknown reasons.. mostly money

I mean how often do you hear about dog kidnappings in general? Its a highly local happening, so unless a celebrity is involved, it’s unlikely to make news

When you say often though…other than lady gaga I’ve never heard of this actually happening. Unless missing dog posters are really kidnapped dog posters and I’ve never seen the update.

One of my biggest fears walking someone’s dog and it being taken outside of them bitting a kid. Hope the owner is able to find the dog.

Jay Gonzalez rode the T every day and made his entire campaign about improving it but everyone just had to go with Baker again.

Waited 41 minutes for a red line train at rush hour today. Pathetic

I missed those Manhattans. Glad to see the place reopened!

People often kidnap dogs from wealthy neighborhoods specifically looking for rewards after they find the dog “dumped” somewhere

Wild state of affairs. Thanks for the post.

If this happened in beacon hill then you should look around for cameras that might have caught the car on video to get the license plate. If you explain what happened to the camera owners, they’ll likely be willing to look through their footage.

I would act fast though because a lot of security systems automatically delete after a short time.

Oh man, this is heartbreaking. I sometimes can’t even fathom the evil people that are walking this earth. What a real fucking asshole thing to do. I really hope the dog is found safe and the scumbag held responsible.

On a rescue dog like this, likely minimal. Maybe the thieves thought it was a purebreed?

But on a designer or purebreed dog? Pretty large. People will buy puppies / young dogs off craiglists (Example One: https://boston.craigslist.org/sob/for/d/norton-french-bulldog/7598631116.html Example Two: https://boston.craigslist.org/nwb/pet/d/boston-female-mini-poodle-mix-puppy/7601380906.html) and ask minimal questions about where they came from. For someone looking to make a quick $500 - $3,000 it's very easy to grab a dog off the street and then resell it.

Sometimes people just take the opportunity to be an asshole.

Depending on breed a lot. Like multiple thousands of dollars.

Idk why someone steals a terrier mix tho lol

Wow! People suck!

ugh this makes me so sad i’m really sorry.

This is weird. What resale value is there really for a dog?
