Urban Fur: Welcome Home!

Today on Grattan Street I saw— or make it heard— this rather indignant cutie.

I asked the above gentleman what her story was and he told me. Her name is Angel and today he brought her to her new “home”: his!

I am going to go out on a limb here and guess that this scowl won’t last for long. In fact, I have a creeping suspicion this little lass with the not-so little feet (and mismatched eyes) is going to be very, very pampered!

Griffin (the above rat terrier whose person assures me is quite the drama queen) like not the Franklin Corner Store’s “no dogs” policy the least bit!

A Greenpoint Blind Item

It is a well known fact that Larry (as seen at left) is without argument Greenpoint’s most famous the bodega cat. He likes to get around. While this usually entails keeping a particularly vigilant eye (or would that be paw?) over the canines which patronize his place of work and play (that being A. J. Farms) he has a horde of furry friends. In fact, if you look carefully on the left hand side of the counter at this establishment you will see a photo of him hanging out with a few of his homies. But did you know a particularly fetching feline hereabouts has become his regular breakfast date? I didn’t. It was put to me this way:

He comes in every morning, eats some of her food and sits with her. They cannot “do” anything*… but they like each other!

Urban Fur: Green Pup In Greenpoint

Your eyes are not deceiving you.

This pup (which I spied on Eagle Street and whose name is “Smudgy”) is in fact, chartreuse in hue.

Obviously I had to get to the bottom of this. Me:

I thought I was seeing things. Your dog really is green!

Smudgy’s Person:

Yeah, we dyed him for Halloween. We wanted to dress him up as Yoda but he came out looking toxic.

Me: So he was more like a Newtown Creek dog!
S.P.: Exactly!

I did not get this vigilant tabby’s name. Just suffice to say she* took the task of guarding the hops at Brooklyn Brewery very, very seriously!
