Sammy Gets Bailed

I'm back! Got a little distracted this weekend with the new critter to look after. Here's the special guy on Friday afternoon after I picked him up:

He looks a bit stunned there, but he managed to make himself right at home later that night:

You can see him on the couch trying to hide from my roommate- he knows he's not supposed to be on the couch!

I think Sammy's first weekend was an overwhelming, but great intro in what life will be like with two Brooklyn girls. One of the first things a Brooklyn dog should have is an awesome toy- this was a gift from my boss:

Sammy wasn't sure what to do with it at first- little orphan dogs aren't used to having toys!

Let me give you a list of what Sammy's been up to the past 48 hours:

-got a sweet new collar and leash

-went to 3 dog parks- played hard with a dozen dogs in one, got muddy with 2 dogs in another

-had 2 baths

-walked across the Williamsburg Bridge

-discovered the Lower East Side and had first visit to Manhattan (as far as we know)

-went to first cupcake bakery, the famed Sugar Sweet Sunshine

-met 5 puppies

-met zillions of dogs and their owners

-met the landlord

-had first piece of cheese

-survived first night home alone while mom was at a metal show

-figured out how to break into mom's room while home alone while mom was at a metal show

-devoured a bag of cheese doodles in mom's room while home alone

-napped with Auntie Bessie

-got a quick drink from the toilet (luckily, he didn't seem that into it)
