My busy schedule

I apologize for not posting lately, but Mom has been keeping me really busy. Between our trip to Texas and all the snow to play in, I've fallen a little behind on blogging. You'll get to hear about all my recent adventures soon, but I wanted to give you a sneak peak of what I've been up to:

Stay tuned because there's more to come. But first, I have a new bone I need to hide behind the sofa cushions...

A rip-roaring good time!

The sun finally came out yesterday in NYC, so mom decided to take me on a nice long walk. It was so cold the Hudson River was frozen over, but she felt guilty about keeping me cooped up all day Saturday.

I pulled as hard as I could to get to the Leroy Street Dog Run- one of my favorite city spots. Mom gave in, but it was so windy and cold that we didn't stick around for long.

We ducked into Zoomies on our way home to warm up for a bit. This is one of my favorite West Village dog boutiques, due in part to their cute little Yorkie, Chou Chou, who resides on the countertop.

Mom decided that I needed new toy, because I tore all of the stuffing out of my Valentine's day bear. I love ripping the arms and legs off a $10 stuffed animal that mom gives me two weeks before a designated holiday.

When we spotted the "Let 'Em Rip" Pig, mom was sold. The head and limbs are velcro-ed on, so they can be re-attached after I tear them off. This is what it looked like last night:

....and 24 hours later:

No stuffing to clean-up and I get to rip it apart again tomorrow! Awesome.

I want to be a hipster

Check out my new shades!

Ok, so maybe that's not me, but it could be. Hipsters are taking over New York, and I'm next in line. Maybe I could convince mom to move to Brooklyn and buy me some skinny jeans (well, not too skinny), so I could fit in with the other dogs at http://hipsterpuppies.tumblr.com/.

Happy Monday! 
Love, Henry

Dog Parks 101

The first thing you need to figure out about living in New York is that your social life will revolve around the dog park. Before she found a dry cleaners, my 20-something mom located the nearest dog park in our West Village neighborhood. This is where I go to play, relax, meet friends, and get really tired so that I sleep the rest of the day.

While it's not the closest dog run to where I live, my personal favorite is Tompkins Square Park. There's a separate section just for small dogs, but I prefer to run with the big guys. When spring comes, I hope to spend most of my weekends here.

Hi, I'm Henry.

My name's Henry. I'm a 2 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel currently living in New York City. Born in Texas, I have called the Big Apple home since July 2008. It's great being a dog in the city, but it takes some work (and insider knowledge). Follow me, and I'll teach you everything you need to know about being a city dog...or just look like one :)
