Join the Largest Dog Run Halloween Parade in the U.S.
Halloween just got beastlier. The Tompkins Square dog run is pleased to announce the 21st Annual Tompkins Square Halloween Parade. On Saturday, October 22, hundreds of costumed canines will march on Tompkins Square Park to participate in the country’s largest Halloween parade for dogs.
This year, they will be competing for thousands of dollars in prizes, including two iPods and of course, bragging rights for the year. All proceeds go to the N.Y.C. Department of Parks & Recreation for the maintenance and upkeep of the newly restored Tompkins Square Dog Run.

Love blossoms at the Tompkins Square Park dog run?
EV Grieve reader Caiti notes that her mutt puppy Jagger and Butter the English mastiff were making friendly over the fence between the little dog run and the big dog run today... Nice that we can all get along...

The Tompkins Square Park dog run loses a tree — unnecessarily so?
Following the storms that passed through last Thursday evening... EV Grieve reader Allen Semanco emailed us this photo showing a downed limb at the Tompkins Square Park dog run...
Now, EV Grieve reader Wayne Embacher gives us this shot from today. Workers have removed the entire tree.
Perhaps there was more to the problem than a broken limb. Still. As Wayne notes, "One branch falls and the rest of the very healthy, mature, and GREEN tree goes. Unnecessary." Agreed.

RIP Ziggy
A few weeks ago, several readers reported seeing a small dog that had been hit by a vehicle on 14th Street.
This sign is now up at the Tompkins Square Park dog run, which offers an explanation of what happened...

As pit bull fear grips the East Village.... free dog park etiquette class tomorrow
From The Villager this week:
On Sat., Dec. 18, at 11 a.m., Drayton Michaels, who specializes in training pit bulls, will give a talk and demonstration at the Tompkins Square dog run on how to handle the dogs. He will discuss dog park etiquette, how to referee dogs in large groups, how to defuse potentially dangerous situations and how to break up dogfights. He will also discuss pit bull traits and “why your dog may be too much for the other dogs.”
“Dogs sometimes get into situations they can’t handle,” said Rosso, who is himself a dog trainer. “There’s little awareness among new dog owners about this. It’s a hot-button issue.”
And leave your weapons at home.

Channel 7 joins the pit bull media clusterfuck
Our friend Melanie at East Village Corner passes along word (and this photo!) that Channel 7 was on the scene in Tompkins Square Park today to interview dog owners about... dog owners who may carry weapons to protect themselves from pit bulls...
CBS 2 and WPIX 11 have already filed stories on this nonstory last night... Where in the hell is NBC?
And look — a pit bull in a pink sweater!
