Time to check in with a few friends who had the chance to travel this summer.
Recently Kita the Wonder Dog of East 10th Street vacationed on Nantucket. We are unsure whether she’d ever been to the ocean before and given the calamity of her last water visit at Bantam Lake last summer we were concerned about how she’d react.
Turns out while she loves water she isn’t crazy about waves. But chasing her ball into the surf kept her busy and happy for hours and hours.
She also quickly acclimated to the natives and quite naturally substituted chasing seagulls and rabbits for her usual pigeon and squirrel obsessions in Tompkins Square Park.
More than anything we think she enjoyed being sans-leash with unfettered access to the great outdoors without the four flights of stairs she has to navigate at home.
On the next episode: Despite the strong performances by Al Pacino and John Cazale, Kita finds the lack of actual canines in "Dog Day Afternoon" rather disappointing.

Best post in a long time. I hope Kita doesn't get depressed when she returns to the N-Y-C.
ReplyDeleteAww, Kita! Just so you know, rats keep breeding in TSP so there will still be plenty of wildlife for you to chase when you get back.
ReplyDeleteIt is one of the great disappointments in my life that, even tho I only live one block over and spend many pleasant hours hanging and watching the poochamooches, I have not yet had the pleasure of making Kita the WD's acquaintance, nor even seen her in the flesh. Happy to hear she had fun in the sun!
ReplyDeleteA great chapter in a great story.
ReplyDeleteHome is where the heart is. And no sand in the mouth.
ReplyDeleteIf she's equally comfortable with Tompkins Square as she is with Nantucket, she is truly an adaptable hound.
ReplyDeletePlucked from the shelter and vaulted into the environs of Bantam Lake and Nantucket.... would love to be adapted by Kita's family! She's one lucky girl.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see Kita enjoying herself at the beach. It must feel so good for her parents to be able to give her these experiences in life. :)
ReplyDeleteKita is soooooooo cute, I'm love. Please don't tell my dog I said that, she'll FREAK.
ReplyDeleteKita is the Sweetest. Dog. Ever! So glad that she had the chance to explore the sand and surf. Please keep us updated!
ReplyDeleteShe is an amazing dog.
ReplyDeleteGreat story! Love to hear what she's been up to- having more adventures and being adorable.
ReplyDeleteSomething about that second pic...sly smile.....looking straight into the camera.....and into my SOUL.....funky spooky....or is that one of those "I'm in Nantucket on a boat on a beeyootuhfull day.....and you're NOT!.....so there" glances.
ReplyDeleteBut must agree with Kita about Dog Day Afternoon.....soooo disappointing (although Pacino chewed-up his share of scenes).
