Another new discovery...

I just took a walk with Timmy (one on one to work on the leash aggression) and had a fantastic discovery...a new area of Riverside Park. It was a stretch of walk low down by the river lined with benches and a pier overlooking the Hudson River. The sun was setting and the trees -- the old, gorgeous, grandfather trees -- were swaying in the breezed overhead. Never would I have thought we'd spend so much time in nature when we moved to the Big City - but walking two dogs daily, it's a blessing and a new experience in and of itself. We live between two amazing parks - Central Park and Riverside Park and both are within walking distance and both are big enough to spends hours wandering in. It was amazingly green and peaceful with lots of people moving up and down the boardwalk (which was really a sidewalk). The temperature was perfectly cool and I said aloud once again, sitting side-by-side on the bench next to the water "Timmy, can you believe it? We live in New York City!" And he simply nudged my pocket hoping for another treat.
