NYC or bust

Thursday night I went to NYC for a few things. I had to go and pick up 2 dogs to bring back to the kennel for training. I brought 4 dogs with me for the ride…Max,Uma,Bella and Dharma.  We parked in a great spot on East 84th Street as far east as possible overlooking the river. It was a great spot and I had a meeting first thing in the morning with my TV producer..who has been shopping around a TV show about me. She is pitching a reality show about my dog training around to the networks….

I then headed downtown  to meet up with Olivia (18yr old daughter) for lunch at an outdoor cafe, I was able to park in front of the restaurant..i could not find a parking spot..no one would let me park in their parking lot with dogs in the car, and parking in Soho was all limited to delivery vehicles loading and unloading…so…considering I was picking up 2 dogs and also having lunch with my daughter..i figured a 65 dollar ticket would be just the cost of business….ironically i never did get a ticket and I was parked for 4 hours and I also had 2 people call me from NYC  that saw my van in the street…so…..I picked up the dogs and with 6 dogs in the van we headed back to Providence.

My crew hanging out at a streetcorner while I drink my morning coffee…hundreds of people walked by us along with  dozens of dogs…NYC is great for distraction training…the dogs did great…

I put up a barrier for my new clients, I was not sure how all  6 dogs where going to react…they all got along great…it was quite the ride home…me and 6 dogs…it was fun and tiring and we got home friday night…I spent another hour getting all of the dogs settled in…

so………romy and clover at in bed…lucy has a friend sleeping over…linda went out tonight..and I am getting lots of weekly paperwork done….i have a client at 7am tomorrow..and then its a day full of on the road and kennel dogs..
