Social Media Follies
Hello NYC Dog Families, Apparently someone has a malicious Instagram and Change.org accounts maligning Glencadia Dog Camp and sending follow requests to our followers on Instagram. This campaign is entirely baseless. Not one serious fight, no outbreaks of any significant disease, no injuries and no deaths at Glencadia for many years: this record means safety… Continue reading Social Media Follies
The City: blue light last year
Last night apparently a transformer blew in Queens or Brooklyn and lit up the New York City sky with blue — although at the time I would have said green — light. When I first noticed it as I did the dog route, I looked to see if anyone else on the street was paying… Continue reading The City: blue light last year

A coyote came right up to Vern’s house across the creek and looked him in the eye for 10 seconds before running away. Also not common. The pond froze so thick but so clear I… Continue reading Coyotes and Eagles
Luxury is not quality
Our family of country mice went to the city and had a great city weekend. One thing that’s healthy about being in the city but not working is it reminds me what living in the city is like. I lived in New York from about 1990 to 2005 so it really isn’t a foreign place… Continue reading Luxury is not quality
