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.

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!
