Yorkie-Pekingese...Porkie?

I met a little dog today that looked a lot like me: black and white all over. Her name is Syd and she is two years old. She is a Yorkie-Pekingese mix.  I guess you'd call her a Porkie. 

Feelin' Hot Hot Hot!

Have you ever experienced a summer in New York City?  It's hot and humid.  There's only one thing for a dog to do.  Take a swim!

Here I am at the Leroy Street Dog Run on the Hudson River.  I like to lay on the cool, wet concrete.

Here is an English Bulldog that was hogging the little pool...

Yorkies from Korea

A few weeks ago, I met a pair of Yorkies from Mama's homeland--Korea!  They were in the Union Square dog run.  I noticed the smaller one first because she was barking up a storm.  Her name is Hanul, which means "Sky" in Korean.  The bigger one is a boy and his name is "Bada" meaning "Ocean".

Last Sunday, we met up with them again and went to Washington Square Park.  See how little they are?  I'm only eight pounds and I look huge next to them!

That is Bada on the left and Hanul on the right.  I am teaching them how to speak Doglish and act like a New Yorker.  They already know how to say, "yo, what's up?"

  

Rude and Ruder

Need I say more?

Human Sunbathers

Humans have an odd sunbathing ritual.  When it is hot and sunny in the city, they will come out in droves and lay on any patch of grass they can find, roasting themselves in the sunshine like so many Thanksgiving turkeys.  

Here they are on a recent sunny day on the Hudson River...

Out of Town Guests

If you've been wondering why I haven't written for a while, it's because I was too busy entertaining out-of-town guests!  Yup, my cousins from California were in town and we went everywhere...Central Park, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, blah blah blah.  It was fun. 

Here is a picture of us taking the subway to go somewhere.  See--that's my head poking out of the black bag.  

I hope they come back and visit soon--maybe when it's not so hot!
