I just moved out of the city a few months ago- although I still have my apartment there for the time being so I am still back and forth a little. Pet Stores: I LOVE these stores. The New York Dog Shop, Puppia harness, dog clothing, toys, beds, bags, collars Designer dog clothes, designer dog collars, designer dog beds, designer dog carriers | Trixie + Peanut Zoomies New York City, Eat, Sleep, Play, dog biscuit bar My apartment is on the UWS and I used to get my pet food here: (I am pretty sure they sold Primal- but there are pet food stores every few blocks- so once you know exactly where you are living you can start calling and find a local one that carries Primal- almost all stores will deliver it to you for free- some have a minimum order but it is usually pretty low) Pet Market - Upper West Side - New York, NY I used to live near this dog park- De Witt Clinton Park : New York City Department of Parks & Recreation and I took mine a few times, it was one of the few in the city with a separate small dog section but it is pretty bad- just some blacktop fenced in really. Your best bet is to just go to one of the parks (Central Park or Riverside Park) before 9AM or after 9PM when dogs are allowed off leash. Dog Daycare & Spa – Dog Walking – Biscuits and Bath This place runs small dog playgroups once a week at their different locations- on the UWS it is Monday nights- if you live closer to a different location call for their night- it is just an hour where the pups can run around together and socialize- mine used to love it. I have heard bad things about the facility so I wouldn't recommend using them as a groomer or boarding facility- but you stay for the playgroup so nothing bad should happen with you there. There may be a kwigy bo sample sale during the period you are here- if I hear about it I will be sure to PM you- I haven't made it to one yet but they are supposed to be AMAZING! On the subway your dog must be in a carrier at all times- otherwise there is nothing to it- stick them in the bag and hop on! Lots of people have their dogs and no one will pay you a second glance even if your dogs bark, whine, anything. Tons of restaurants have outdoor seating and most permit dogs in the outside area- just ask when you show up- if the answer is NO, they will be nice about it, so don't worry. As you walk the streets you will see dogs sitting at almost every restaurant so you will feel at ease! As far as shopping- bring your dogs everywhere- Bloomingdales, Macy's, little boutiques- and no need for a bag, they can just stroll in on a leash and they will be welcomed with open arms. Honestly- you will be shocked at how animal friendly the city is- you won't believe it. I hope you never need this but- Animal Medical Center - New York City is the BEST emergency vet in the city (they also take non emergencies by appointment)- so if you happen to need a vet while you are here, you will not find better then them. Hmm... I will try to think of more- let me know if you come up with any more questions.

| NYC?? Oooh girl welcome to my city!! I work in Wall Street and live in queens. Well if your going shopping, best area is midtown. They have good sight seeing, juicy couture, saks, etc. I am not sure about dog stores since I buy stuff online but I know Juicy Couture does have dog stuff. Pretty cute too. Another thing, it is not cheap visiting or living in this city so have lots of money. Also, dont flash your dogs too much. We can be pretty ghetto here..lol I'm being honest! And you need to have your pups in a carrier in the train at all times. I heard you can get a ticket if not. Are you moving here for work? Whats going on lady!?

| Hey Viv, My troop is good. Austin loves to pull his sisters ear. When I see him, I blow a whistle and he stops. Of course Chelsea runs and hides under my bed..lol Sometimes he does it because she is stealing his food or snack. I told him not to do that and he understands. If he hears me say "you want a spankin", it all STOPS. He knows. He is not dumb. Thats why must of the time, he tries to bother his sister, we see him checking us out first. MHM!! Little rascal! Other then that, they are ssssssssssssssooo spoiled by their momma. They get tons of toys, clothes, treats, etc..lol I love my gang. The best reason rushing home everyday. Talk soon! Tanya, Austin & Chelsea York| TACY
