Cynthia Scali recently shared photos of her three beloved huskies with us: Nifty, O’Reilly and Bledsoe.

Here is what Cynthia had to say:

O’Reilly is 11 years old, and was named after Terry O’Reilly of the Boston Bruins.  

We had told our kids that if the Patriots won the Super Bowl in 2017, we’d get another dog and that’s when we got Bledsoe, who’s named after Drew Bledsoe.  

Nifty Rick Middleton came to us in 2024.  

They are wonderful dogs. They are also a staple in the Mayflower Road area and well loved by all who meet them.

Nifty has had some health issues, and had surgery to insert a liver shunt. Fortunately, she’s on the road to recovery.  

We could not imagine our lives without them.
