THIS WEEK: Fundraiser for the McCarren Dog Run

macdogrunThis Saturday, November 21, NYCPet will be hosting an all-day event to benefit McCarren Park’s very own dog run. “Shopping For Dogs” is pretty self-explanatory: 10% of every purchase made on this day will be donated to the McCarren Dog Run to help fund their much-needed drainage project (at last word they still need about $5,000 more bucks to make this happen). In addition, there will be a drawing for prizes from such local businesses as:

  • Northside Veterinary Clinic
  • Holistic Select Products
  • Brooklyn General Barber
  • And much more!

Refreshments are also promised. If you patronize the McCarren Dog Run run— even occasionally— please swing by NYCPet this Saturday. You can also make a donation online via PayPal. It’s your dog run, Williamspointers!

New York Shitty Day Ender: Get On Up

It probably comes as no surprise to many of you that I generally refrain from going out on Saturday nights. This primarily has to do with the fact that I work on Saturdays and want nothing more afterward than to take hot bath and enjoy a nice quiet evening at home. Oh yeah, and as I learned last night being a captive audience for a coked-up, drunk 20-something chick “rocking out” (and making out) to James Brown pisses me off.

This video hardly does this woman justice. She was so obnoxious that had I not been at the watering hole in question for a birthday party I would have left. In fact two of my fellow patrons DID walk out, leaving their uncompleted drinks on the table. Did the management seem to care that this chick was staggering about, shouting gibberish, being a nuisance and a danger to herself and others? Hardly. The bartender seemed to be amused.

If this is a harbinger of things to come in Williamsburg why don’t we take it to its logical conclusion and convert all the nondos into dormitories and rechristen it NYU East?

Found on Devoe Street: Cat

Moab1

This dignified male tabby (note the ascot) was found Tuesday on Devoe Street between Judge and Olive Street. His good Samaritan, Sarah, estimates his age to be about one year and reports:

He does not seem as though he has been out too long, probably less than a week. He was hungry, scared and tired.

If this is your cat please contact Sarah at essdotweather (at) yahoo (dot) com.

Thanks!
