Everyone Loves a Boston Girl

I just got home from the Maroon 5 concert, which was amazing. I love going to concerts where I know every song and pretty much all the lyrics. I only wish they performed my new fave song, “Infatuation,” but they played so many of the old classics and some of the new hits, so I was pretty satisfied. Our seats were sooo good, which is a million times more than I can say about my usual seats at Garden concerts. I’ll post some pics when Chelsee gets hers up…no matter how good the seats were, my camera phone does Adam Levine’s butt no justice

On our way to the concert, we saw a really horrible incident. We got off the T at North Station and noticed some people standing around the escalators in a crowd. When we stopped and looked, we realized that a little puppy was stuck in the escalator! It was a little Pomeranian-like dog whose paw somehow got stuck at the top. People were freaking out because help was taking a long time to arrive and the poor dog couldn’t get loose. Finally a bunch of Boston police came, followed by a ton of Boston firemen with axes. Honestly, there were about 15 T workers, cops, and firemen just standing around trying to figure out what to do. The firemen were using their axes to try and pry the escalator apart, but it just wasn’t working. Finally they brought some “machinery” to basically cut away the teeth of the escalator and break the escalator apart. The poor dog was actually pretty calm, aside from the occasional heart-wrenching screeching crying sound it made.

We stood there for 20+ minutes before they finally got the little pup free. They legit had to saw away at the escalator so that when the dog was freed, part of the escalator was still stuck to his toenails. We didn’t want to leave until they got the dog out because we just needed to see the happy ending to that.

I felt really bad for the dog’s owner, but honestly people, why would you let your dog go on an escalator?? The thing weighed about 2 pounds and the woman could have easily picked it up and carried it. Or gone up the stairs. His paws were so tiny, plus he had long hair, which also could have easily gotten stuck. I guess she must have learned her lesson (hopefully). But I have to wonder if the city of Boston will be charging her for all of the chaos she caused. And I hope there were no major fires anywhere near by since Boston’s firemen were pretty much all at North Station rescuing a dog from the escalator.

Ugh, I would be a really horrible paparazzi since I basically feel like crap invading people’s privacy to take pictures of them in their times of distress. But I managed a few discrete camera phone shots. It was a really sad site though and I didn’t want to make light of the incident and be that obnoxious person with the camera. I wish I could have shown you how cute the little dog was. I hope he gets extra treats tonight!
