This is my nephew Jonathan from California. He already has two dogs but in this picture he was at a pet store and was entertaining a third. Fine if you live in a house with a backyard! This is my dog Pampa. She started out as cute as that puppy but now weighs 70lbs. Did I mention we live in an apartment in New York City? Now I admit that I am a sucker for every puppy I see but if I had to do this all over again I would say to my kids ” absolutely no dogs”! However my reality is that I have a dog and live in an apartment. So if you New Yorkers absolutely positively must have a dog, Tribeca and Battery Park City are the perfect neighborhoods to live in. The streets are less crowded and wider. Every other household has a dog. There are at least 3 dog parks in which to hang, gossip and meet some interesting people as well as dogs.
Places I recommend for dog services:
Le Pet Spa for grooming. Bobby, the owner, is a lovely guy, who will always try to squeeze you in. They are now open on Sunday. 300 Rector Pl. 212 786 9070
