A great dog city – Manhattan
October 18, 2011 § 2 Comments
For almost my entire time living in NYC, I shared my city life with a dog(s).
Babe traveled with me to Paris for my fashion shoots.
Lulu in Washington Square Park
Maxie absorbing the serenity rarely seen in NY.
Manhattan is a wonderful place for a dog to be old. Most likely the apartment is over heated in the winter, there is an elevator, flat landscape with lots of pavement, an infinite amount of smells, and lots of people and dogs to stay engaged in life. There is also a very huge nature sanctuary called Central Park where the scariest animal is a squirrel. You can see why this is such a great place to be old.
Calvin, 14 years old, is followed by a dog walker with innumerable dogs.
Crystal, 12 years old, enjoys Bloomingdales.
Zachary, 12 1/2 years old, shares this spare apartment in Spanish Harlem.
By day, Fritzie, 16 1/2 years old, goes to work at an antique store.
Guaton and Diabla, 10 year old siblings, enjoy Central Park.
These are my Manhattan choices.

Your work is wonderful, the words as well as the pictures. Lulu looks like she was amazing, and I wish I could have met her. We have a toy Aussie who thinks she is full size, who spends a great deal of time in Washington Square Park. She’s only 2 1/2, but definitely an old soul. Looking forward to your future posts.
Victoria,
Thank you. Lulu was the first mini Aussie in NYC and we spent countless days in Washington Square Park as I lived in the village. She inspired so much of my dog work including my first book ‘A Dog’s Book of Truths’. My postings are more regular on Facebook. Senior Dogs Across America with Nancy LeVine.
Best,
