Strutt Your Mutt Event - Pier 84 - NYC - Sept. 25, 2011

We participated in the Strutt Your Mutt fundraising walk in NYC on Sept. 25.  Kira and Cooper really enjoyed themselves and were fantastic doggy ambassadors.  We had lots of questions about them and we handed out cards.  A professional photographer even took photos of them.  They stayed calm and controlled and strolled through the crowds with no problems.  It ended up being hotter out than expected but the event provided unlimited free water, lots of snacks for the dogs and lots of good information.  Caroline Manzo was there from The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Did not get a photo of her crawling around letting dogs lick her.  A missed opportunity.  Here are some pictures we took on the way to the event and at the event..... ENJOY! 

We are on the Williamsburg Bridge heading towards lower Manhattan

Exiting at Delancy Street.  I wish we could stop at Katz's Delicatessen.

Huge television screen on the street.  What's that all about?  No wonder these traffic cops look happy.

Passing by Chelsea Piers.  We have to come back another time without Cooper so we can do a little shopping.

 

Pulling up to Pier 84 and we have a nice view of the Intrepid which is at the next pier.

Who let this guy in.  Shouldn't he be on a leash? 

Don't get too close Kira.  He may not have had all his shots!

Taking a much needed water break...... Thank's Kira's mom (Mari) for providing the beverages.
