Animal lovers Greg and Nancy Wiens chose West Roxbury for their new resort and spa
It’s a dog’s life at Luxe Pet Resort. It’s also a cat’s life. When they’re not running around in both indoor and outdoor play spaces, pampered pooches loll on elevated beds in premium canine suites. Cats don’t require the same kind of physical activity, so they’re fine with lounging in ocean view villas. Actually, there are all sorts of living accommodations, in different price ranges, for the overnight guests at Luxe. Located at 1220 VFW Parkway, the facility, which also has a daycare option, opened last month, the brainchild of Watertown residents Greg and Nancy Wiens. They come to work each day with their French Bulldog Tycho, and their German Shepherd Kona. Greg, who has a background in commercial real estate finance, and Nancy, who …

The search for an area to put a dog park continues. The park would serve West Roxbury, Roslindale, Hyde Park and Jamaica Plain.
A couple of months back you may remember West Roxbury's District Councilor Matt O'Malley calling a meeting about building a dog park in our area, specifically at Millennium Park. But maybe that's the last you heard about it. In fact, the meetings continue and a small group of dedicated people have formed a non-profit organization called the Dog Park Association of SouthWest Boston, Inc. We have been meeting regularly to find an alternative spot where a fenced-in doggy play area can be built. We are looking for a place that would serve West Roxbury, Hyde Park, Jamaica Plain, and Roslindale. Millennium Park was taken off the table because, between the cap of the landfill and the surrounding wetlands, there was no place to put the park. The…

The meeting will be held on Thursday, Aug. 11 at 7 p.m. at the District E-5 Police Station.
The possibility of a dog park being in West Roxbury will be discussed in a public meeting during the dog days of August. West Roxbury's District Councilor Matt O'Malley wants a dog park in West Roxbury and is sponsoring the meeting, which will take place on Thursday, Aug. 11 at 7 p.m. at the District E-5 Police Station. There have been informal discussions about creating an area marked off for canines in Millennium Park, but that's just a possibility that has been floated around in recent years. The point of the first meeting is to learn what local dog owners (not just from West Roxbury) think of the idea and if there is support for a proposed dog park/dog run. O'Malley has also stressed that the creation of a friends group to take care …

West Roxbury City Councilor Matt O'Malley is leading the way for a dog run/dog park to be in the neighborhood.
(Editor's note: The June 14th meeting that was to take place at the West Roxbury Education Complex to discuss the second phase of Millennium Park has been cancelled and moved to the fall due to scheduling conflicts.) Since taking office last November, District 6 Boston City Councilor Matt O'Malley has consistently said the establishment of a dog park or dog run in West Roxbury was one of his primary legislative initiatives. Now, he says, "the ball is rolling" on establishing a spot inside Millennium Park for dogs to run free -- legally. "The expansive land does include some areas...that would be ideal for a dog park on the grounds," said O'Malley. Presently, dogs often run free at Millennium Park away from owners despite warnings posted …
