We are Responsible Bully Breed Owners and Our Well-Behaved Dogs Changing Minds One Walk At A Time. We walk so residents of a city can see bully breed owners who are not as the media portrays us: thugs, delinquents, drug dealers, dog fighters. We walk so residents of a city can see how well-behaved our dogs are - walking without any aggression or vicious attacks. We walk so people can see and hopefully we do change minds! Our walks started in Massachusetts and the goal is to walk in all the citie …

Any one interested in walking, running, or bicycling. Let's keep our brains and bodies healthy and active!

This is a group for dog owners who like to walk their dog at Great Brook Farm in Carlisle. I enjoy taking my Boston terrier for walks there and thought it would be fun to form a pack walk. My dog isn't ready for off leash walks yet by herself but has done well off leash in a pack. I'd like to walk on Saturday or Sunday mornings. Let's socialize the dogs and socialize ourselves while we enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise!  We aren't discriminating here, let's bring dogs of all sizes! ;) I'm …

I'm calling this a "mini" pub crawl because it involves visiting one restaurant....not multiple bars.  There are so many restaurants in the Shrewsbury Street area of Worcester, for starters, that I have not tried, so I thought I would combine exercise with trying a different restaurant each walk.  We will start at the restaurant of choice (suggestions are welcomed), go for a walk and end up back at the restaurant for appetizers and beverages.  Let's get together for a walk...approximately 1 to 2 …

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 …

This is a hiking group for people who, like me, hike at a slow and steady pace. I love the outdoors and I love hiking, but am often lagging behind. However, like the tortoise, I keep a steady pace and always get there in the end. We will do mostly medium-length hikes ( 4 - 6 miles) with elevation gains of under 1500 feet and a pace of book time +50%. Most hikes will be within a couple of hours drive from Worcester (there is another MeetUp for slower hikers that does hikes in White Mountains) but …

I want to try an experiment. Imagine a typical weekday after a long day at work. You finally get home, collapse onto the couch, click on the television…and then you remember—you have a petting zoo meetup to go to in 45 minutes. Problem is you don’t want to go to the petting zoo. Sure, it seemed like it’d be a hoot when you signed up for it eight weeks ago, but dammit your feet are tired, and you just want to relax, and besides—the new episode of Space Commandos is on tonight. So regretfully you …
