Saturday Adventures

Today was gorgeous. The heat wave finally broke and the high is only in the eighties. In celebration of the lovely change in temperature, I suggested we head out to Pier I (recognize it? - I ALWAYS want to go there). To get Sasha excited about our trip, I started packing her bag early. She fits into Mr. D's gym bag (not that he uses it for the gym, ours is in the building), and when we take her somewhere like Pier I, the bag has a bottle of water, a little tupperware for a bowl, treats to bribe her with on the subway, and a greenie and tennis ball to occupy her while we are wherever we are going. She definitely found the pocket with the treats.

We put Sasha into the bag and took the subway up to Columbus Circle, stopped at the cigar store so that Mr. D could get his fix, then walked over to the river and up to Pier I. We walked down the pier and sat on the bench watching the boats while Mr. D finished up his cigar.

We ate lunch and Sasha entertained herself by going bananas and turning into Kujo anytime she saw a pigeon. After lunch we wandered through Riverside Park, plopping down under a tree for a while to read/let Sasha recoup:
