Why all the HATE New York City?????????

What the heck is going on in my home town?

CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS / @CSI?cafe

Every day lately I hear about violence against gay people.

bored

Last week a guy was shot in the face and killed just for being gay.

And a few weeks before that two guys were attacked and beaten just for walking down the street.

Unknown

Now I hear that last night a guy was assaulted at a bar when he told another guy he was gay.

There are actually 5 reported attacks against the LGBT community in the past month, and that is 5 too many!

I have two Dads, so this concerns me.

New York is supposed to be a safe place where EVERYONE is free to be who ever they want to be!

The media has decided that it’s because of all the talks about Gay Marriage and how people are accepting gay people today.

gayok

I just don’t understand it. Why do people care so much about what other people are doing?

What’s the big deal if two men, two women, or a man and a woman love each other and want to be together?

Do these “haters” feel threatened by gay people?

"You suck Chick Fil A!!!"

“You suck Chick Fil A!!!”

Or maybe it’s a Bible thing? But the Bible says “Love thy neighbor”  And I don’t think God was saying just the neighbors who are exactly like you!

images-5

Let me say this, if there were no gay people, all of you non gay people would be in some serious trouble, because gays are everywhere!

They are in every profession and are contributing members of society just like you, and they deserve to be safe and secure just like you.

NYC

So come on New York, get your shit together and stop all this hatred, it’s just NOT pretty!

Summertime Weather in New York City

Wowsa, it’s hot today!!!

I know I have been complaining it’s been cool or dreary or rainy or all of the above, but 85 after it was miserable all weekend!

wowsa

Dad and I took a little stroll to the West 22nd Street Dog Run. It’s a great place to beat the heat.

Luckily the water was flowing and none of those puppy bitches bothered me much.

Sometimes a girl just needs her place in the sun.

Enjoy the heat, it’ll probably snow or something crazy tomorrow!!!

Fresh Patch

Here’s one for those of you who have new puppies.

FRESH0011WHITE-300x200

A Fresh Patch of green grass for your dogs daily business.

No more urine soaked Wee Wee Pads to pick up, and  no more smell from the Pads to ingest.

Fresh Patch is an eco-friendly real box of grass which is delivered to your door on a weekly basis.

It provides your dog with access to a bathroom while you are away or on days like yesterday when rain keeps us in.

Such a cool idea.

Springtime Barkbox!

It’s only been a month, but I’ve been desperately looking for my Barkbox in the mail.

amber brown boston terrier blogger

“Was that the doorbell??”

Kind of like I’ve been desperately looking for some nice weather. Anyway….

It arrived today, and I immediately noticed the newly designed paper lining the box.

barkbox monthly

Too Cute!  I’m a girl that loves the little touches.

But of course what I love more, are the goodies inside.

bboxopen

I’m a sucker for Bocce’s Bakery, so when I saw those I begged Dad to open them first.

greenie

These are made from wholesome goods like Kale, Apple and Spinach. No artificial anything!!!

Dad was drinking one of his “Green” juices at the time, so he totally caved. Sucker!

Have I mentioned I’m on a diet. :(

Dads have been relentless in keeping me from overindulging.  So although the Fruitables Pumpkin and Blueberry treats looked amazeballs, they were put away for another  day.

fruitables

But being 100% Natural and oh so healthy, I know they are going to be opened soon!

This month’s toy is a Sqwuggie from Katie’s bumpers.  It’s a Fire Hose Squeak and Tug Toy. Kinda uninteresting to me at first, but I know it is going to be the perfect toy for the Cape, cause it Floats!!

bumper

Ahh, summer is coming up and I can’t wait to frolic in the sand and go for a swim.

closeupswim

And speaking of swimming in the ocean, the next product will be perfect when I get out!

petepure

It’s a Sanitizing Spray from Pet E Pure. You spray it on your paws or coat to kill 99% of most common germs.

A few years ago I picked up a nasty infection from the sea, so this might just be the ticket!

And just when I thought that was it, I found a bully stick from Barkworthies!

barkworthie

How can you go wrong with one of these?  Yum-O.

So that’s the skinny on my Springtime Barkbox!

In the words of that famous canine Scout at Barkbox, “Grass needs frolicking”

I’m so there!

Thanks BB!

Chelsea Piers Paths behind Pier 57 are open!

For months since Hurricane Sandy graced our fair city, the walking path behind the piers has been closed.

But finally the gate on 17th street is open and you can stroll behind the Golf Piers!

amberongreen

Back in January I took this photo of some Sandy damage back there.

pierdamage

I kind of liked it’s twisted nature, but I’m sure the new walkway is more efficient!

pierfixed

I love seeing the boats bobbing in the Hudson, but most of all just checking out the view.

Welcome back Chelsea Pier!

Paul McCarthy Sisters

No not Paul McCartney, Paul McCarthy!

paul mccarthy sisters sculpture

This sculpture from  the LA based Artist arrived on Chelsea Piers the other day.

It’s kind of a weird location there on 17th Street and the Pier, but it’s pretty cool.

It almost looks like it is made out of rubber, but it’s solid bronze.

I particularly love the headless squirrel. ;)

The bunny is cute too!

It will only be on display until June 1st, so hightail it over there to check out soon!

Gridlock Alert!

The Prez is in town today and wow are there tons of cops on the streets of Greenwich Village.

Official photographic portrait of US President...

President Obama is expected to visit a private home in the Village, my guess is on West 12th street as that is where the entire street is blocked.

On top of that,  construction seems to be the rule rather than the exception on Village streets as well.

constructionzone

Today is one of those days where there is nothing charming about the village at all.

Well at least there is the occasional lego looking monsters to chuckle at. :)
