DATELINE-NY 1/2/12 Molly Gump
So Hal and I went walking. It was a good walk, but when I got to the corner I figured i'd just keep on walking. then we got to the end of numbers (Houston Street) and i thought that if I'd come this far, I might as well walk further. So we get to Delancey Street and i thought, If I'd walk that far I might as well keep on walking. Before I knew it I was Crossing Delancey- Hall thinks that's funny I don't know why. But i kept on walking. Then sudden;y I just stopped (at Grand St).
DATELINE-NY 12/31/11 New Year's Eve
Not that I care, because I don't keep track of time, but Hal tells me that it is New Year's Eve. So today is the last day of 2011, which I guess makes tomorrow the first day of 2018. (Ed. note: do the math)
DATELINE-NY 12/26/11 Return of the Treat
Yesterday, during the midday walk, It had seemed as though BarkatCat Petshop had disappeared. It turns out that it was shielded behing a metal gate. I found it, but Hal couldn't open the gate, so BarkatCat was denied. Today, I was able to confirm the presence of BarkatCat. Also, Bark accomplished.
DATELINE-NY 12/24/11 The most wonderful time of the year!
I don't know what it is, but for the last, well I don't know how long, I lack a sense of time being a dog and all, but the streets have been filled with trees! On block after block there are rows of trees, and we don't live in Brooklyn where a tree grows. Also the street kind of smells like the apartment when Hal makes the floor wet (uncompensated Pine Sol plug).
Unfortunately, Hal won't let me piddle on these trees. Not that I could piddle on them I'm a girl so I don't lift my leg I squat. He won't let me piddle near these trees.
DATELINE-NY 12/19/11 A Picture with Santa
So we walked into a pet shop and there's this Jolly Old Fat Guy with a beard, a big chair and lots of boxes. They asked if I wanted to take a picutre with Santa. Hal said I did (without asking btw). They charged Hal money for the pic, but the money went to shelters, so I'm glad he did it. The picture is available for viewing for free here.
DATELINE-NY 12/17/11 No Justice! No Treats!
Wow, it has been a while since I worte anything. There was a period where I went over and stayed with Olive from my pack and didn't have access to Hal's computer, but that was a couple of weeks ago. This morning, however, Hal didn't have any treats. I didn't get paid for my pooh. Hal wanted to go the wrong way, and I let him- I didn't get paid for that either. I'll charge him such interrest that he'll not make that mistake again.
It turns out that we weren't out of treats, he just forgot to bring them. I still insisted we re-stock during the mid day walk.
DATELINE-NY 11/13/11 Occupy Hot Dog
So Hal put on his wheels again. I thought they were gone for the season- no such luck. We went down to this park and Hal got some juice and we sat with a bunch of people who gave me scitches. That was yesterday. Today, the street fair was on 3rd Avenue and we occupied Red's Original Char Grilled Hot Dogs. I got 2 Yay!
DATELINE-NY 11/10/11 Shameless Plug
Hal is returning to Stand-up Comedy. His return debuts on Tuesday November 15th. The show is a benefit for rescue organizations. Save the date. Save some animals. They flyer can be found by clicking here
DATELINE-NY 11/5/11 Some sight seeing
I've noticed that as the weather gets colder, my walks have been getting shorter. Okay, I don't need to see the river every morning, but I still need to stretch my legs. Besdies, Couch Potato needs the exercise, too. So we walked down 1st avenue until they ran out of numbers. On the way back home, we walked past The New York Marble Cemetary. It is old and historic and you might be interested in it. Hal said the plaque mentions someone named "Preserved Fish" buried there. If he's well preserved, I like fish on occasion.
DATELINE-NY 10/29/11 Wintry Weather day!
I didn't want to go on my morning walk today. Hal left the wheels off- good thing to it was wet out. But it wasn't coming down hard enough for me to get away with not walking. Anyway, Hal goes out and he comes back with a squirrel. I know it's not real, but I don't care. I know Beggin' strips aren't real and I don't care. Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care.
I think Hal expected me to not go out for the midday walk. He kept pointing at the window. Also, somehow the squirrel, which I grabbed and put on the couch and started gnawing on kept ending up on the floor somehow. I went out for the walk. It was cold and wet, but it was falling as that snow stuff.
DATELINE-NY 10/22/11 Hot Dog Accomplished
I think I can get used to Hal with his wheels so long as he understands that I run when I want. We moved at a nice leisurely pace, that was faster than Hal walks. This allows us to travel farther. I don't think we would have been able to accomplish hot dog without them today. It seemed out of range. (ed. note: Redd's Original Char Grilled Hot Dogs were at 6th Avenue and 52nd St.)
DATELINE-NY 10/15/11 A Long walk
Hal strapped on his wheels (Rollerblades) today. Apparently, he thinks I enjoy it so much he bought a pair. When I wanted to run, he didn't let me (I was pulling him). When we got to the river, he tried to pick up the pace, but I was no longer interested in running. We traveled the farthest downtown that we ever have. I imagine that without the wheels, Hal woudn't have made it. He's such a couch potato. There was something political going on- but I don't allow politics on my plog.
DATELINE-NY 10/9/11 A trip to Petco
I took Hal to Petco. It is where the Pet's go. Well, it was on the way on the way on this particular day. So we went in. They must have recognized me from my blog because I was on the red carpet and they took my picture.
While I was there, a sales rep had raw food and offered me some. He placed the bowl in front of me and I had no interest in it. Why not? I don't know. It was food after all- I should have devoured it. Oh well.
DATELINE-NY 10/8/11 Mortal Enemies
There is iths dog that I fight with everytime I see her. Well, she was in the dog run this morning, and as soon as I knew it was her I charged. After breaking up the fight, Hal immediately took me out of the dog run. Hal scolded me saying that the other dog is a good dog. Here is the rub, it is not the other dog that is the threat. It is the oher dog's human.
See, while we are fighting, they can't talk. If they can't talk they can't figure out it they like each other, and therefore cannot decide they like each other more than the dogs- in otherwords, us.
DATELINE-NY 10/4/11 Bagel denied
As Hal and I returned to the apartment from our morning walk, a woman entered the building ahead of us. She was eating a bagel. I wanted some bagel- Hal told me not to beg. It is not begging. I wanted bagel. I sat respectfully in front of his woman and gave her my best "mine" look. It would have worked, too if it weren't for Hal's meddling.
DATELINE-NY 10/2/11 Blessing of the Animals Not Accomplished
Hal wanted to take me to a Blessing of the Animals at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd today. If you visit the site, it has today's date. Trouble is, it was yesterday. So I didn't receive a blessing. Instead, we went to a street fair and accomplished Chicken.
A lot of humans think I'm Jewish because Hal is Jewish and he's my daddy. He's not my daddy, he's my person. Even if he were, according to the Jewish faith, religion flows through the mother not the father. Was my mother Jewish? I don't know.
DATELINE-NY 10/1/11 Chicken Not Accomplished
It was a weird day. We slept late and I was not in the mood to do our morning walk by the river. We walked down 1st Avenue instead. We also didn't go as far as usual. Then we headed up toward Union Square, because I wanted treats and there's a Petco. On the way, police were setting up barricades for a rally. I wanted to know what it was for and whether I was for it or against it.
It turns out that it was for SlutwalkNYC. I am for their cause. Rape victims are never asking for it. Treats semmed less important after that. Hal didn't let me bark at the cats in the store, and the street fair didn't have my chicken!
DATELINE-NY 9/26/11 Bark at Cat accomplished
We were out for our afternoon walk and I took Hal to the Bark-at-cat pet shop (Ed. note Litter and Leashes). The cat was sitting just inside the door. I was poised, ready. Hal wouldn't open the door. The cat just sat there. He eventually lied down in the middle of the floor. Still Hal didn't open the door. So, I barked anyway. Then I took Hal to another pet shop (Canis Minor). If Hal is going to leave me alone to watch football, then I get a Pig's ear- that's the rule.
DATELINE-NY 9/21/11 GNA Canine Comedy Parade update
At the parade, when they mentioned my plog, they asked if it was ghost-written and the answer is no. It is Hal written. Whoever designed keyboards didn't take paws into account. I also wanted to mention the sponsor that I left out. They did give me trats after all.
DATELINE-NY 9/17/11 GNA Canine Comedy Parade
So, today was the annual Grammercy Park Canine Comedy Parade. It's not exactly a parade, but there are dogs and humor- and two out of three ain't bad- Meatloaf. Now I'm hungry.
This event gets better every year. I won the Pitbull Ambassador of the Year award! I was interviewed for an e-zine: dnainfo.com. When I won my award, they plugged the hosts plugged this plog, so I thought I would give a shout out to the sponsors:
Canis Minor- where Hal buys me treats
Stewie to the Rescue- an animal rescue organization
Bide a wee- animal adoption and vet services- they had 2 great dogs looking for homes Maggie and Tango.
Spoil me rotten- they make dog and cat treats.
I'm missing one- they have a dog hotel and transportation service.
DATELINE-NY 9/16/11 Cat Fight round 2
Hal is mad at me. During the morning walk, I got into a cat fight. This was not my fault. I mean, who leaves a cat lying in the middle of the sidewalk? It was only natural of me to think he was out to play! The cat hissed and waved its paws and Hal pulled me away. The cat came closer- Hal held me back, but I'd felt its claws what if the cat wanted to atack Hal? I had to protect him, but he wouldn't let me.
