Unclaimed Pets After Superstorm Sandy
I had previously saved a link to this video in my e-mail, intending to post it soon after it appeared on NBC News last January. At the time, 136 pets were in need of placement before the emergency shelter was closed. However, the e-mail somehow got buried and I just found it the other day, so I sent a note to the ASPCA in New York City to find out how they were doing on placing pets who had been abandoned or lost when Sandy hit the east coast.

Video: Dog Plays With Police Horse on Wall Street
Clearly this little Frenchie doesn’t know how small he is. Reminds me of the book, “Are you my mother?” Hope you’re enjoying your weekend.

Good day, and good dog!
NYC dog licenses now online
I found this a bit surprising. City officials estimate that only about 20% of the city’s estimated 500,000 dogs are licensed – even though it’s required by law. In an effort to improve compliance, dog guardians are now able to renew their licenses online.
Does Manhattan Hate Golden Retrievers?
I just returned from a vacation in Manhattan. We saw all kinds of dogs out being walked. I was kind of surprised because I don’t think of NYC as a dog city. I guess you see so many people out walking their dogs because you can’t let your dogs out in a back yard you don’t have.
Anyways, in all of our travels – believe me, we walked up and down the whole island – we didn’t see even one golden retriever. We saw boxers, pugs, dachshunds, and tons of mutts. So, is there something New Yorkers don’t like about Goldens? If you live, or have lived there, let me know what the story is!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Street sweeper gets carried away
The Associated Press is reporting that street-sweeping truck cleaning a street in the Bronx sucked up a Boston Terrier as the helpless guardian held her leash. The dog was killed by the machine. The city’s sanitation department calls it a “rare and unfortunate accident”. That’s the understatement of the year!
