Dog-Gone Excitement in New York City
Quote of the Day: Watch out for that!
This is in tribute to all the dogs that people keep in NYC. That 99.99% of housing in NYC are apartment blocks does not deter people from keeping them. Be they tiny chihuahuas or gigantic St Bernards. I've seen them all with those professional dog walkers (PDWs) around Central Park. The PDWs with tiny dogs would struggle to keep the 5 or 6 doggies in check as they step over one another's leash and get all tangled up. But at least they aren't as fearsome a sight as PDWs walking 3 St Bernards and a couple of other huge-dog-breeds. These just hog the traffic junctions and who's gonna dare bump into them??! With people, worst you'll get is a stare, with dogs, who knows?
However, it does seem that big breed dogs serve a purpose. Just a few days ago, a woman walking her dog in Central Park at 9am was sexually assaulted! Thankfully her 60lb gorilla-of-a-dog bit the assailant and stopped the attack! That's prolly not that big a dog but somehow, a dog that weighs like six 5kg sacks of rice is big enough for me. Yup, dogs are great fun for their owners.
However, what about me?! I don't keep a dog and i need some protection from them. Killer dogs on the loose? Nah, irresponsible owners more like! Walking around in midtown requires a constant exercise in vigilance, one false step and you'll get a chunk of poop stuck to your shoes, or just as bad, you might step into a huge puddle of pee and splash it all over your pant legs or others around.
It's the worst in winter when temperatures remain below freezing. Imagine randomly placed ice spots on the pavements from frozen pee. Friggin slick! To slip and then fall onto it just adds insult to injury! Thankfully, the poop gets frozen so hard, none of it sticks.
So if you happen to find yourself in midtown NY, forget about the muggers, just watch out for that shiny frozen surface.
