Little New Yorkers-Dog Vacay Post

Thanks to the author of the adorable blog Simply Shaye I heard about  a very cool pet blogging campaign put together by Dog Vacay.  The campaign allows pet owners to show photos illustrating how their pets represent their city.  By using Dog Vacay if you choose to travel without you can locate a network of pet sitters in your area to watch them while you are away.

If you read our blog then you know that we live in the big city

in the New York area to be exact.  We don't actually live in New York though, we live in Jersey City which is just 25 minutes from the mega metropolis of Manhattan.  Jersey City has a lot of nice things artists, parks, restaurants, a cool old movie theatre but what it has more of then anything else is commuters.   Jersey City is the second city, right after New York, on the list of US cities with high public transit use.   That is because Jersey City Residents are constantly taking trains and buses into Manhattan for work and fun and it is also number 17 on the list of US cities with the most pedestrian commuters because so many Jersey cityites walk and bike to their jobs and entertainment.

If you read our blog you know we are commuters too.  We have taken trips to Central Park

 

  Prospect Park

  the village

 Nelson Rockefeller Park

we have been to Brooklyn for Pie

 

and to Chelsea for Donuts

 

These are just a few of the trips into Manhattan and Brooklyn we have taken so you can see like all Jersey Residents we are big time commuters.  Sometimes we take the car, its a must when big guys Norbert and Bob come along, but often when its the pugs we take public transportation or ride our bikes.

 So you can see like other Jersey City and New York residents we are avid supporters of public transport and we love how it helps keep our city green.   Too many cars anywhere is not a good thing, but particularly not in the big city.   Recently mom bought the pugs a new stroller, we will be reviewing it on the blog soon, to make it even easier for us to take the train into Manhattan.   Lots of new adventures await us!

 If your human is thinking of taking a trip to Manhattan, or maybe Jersey City remember its minutes from the big apple and hotels are a lot less expensive, tell them to check out Dog Vacay.  They can find a reliable pet sitter to watch you while they explore the metropolis and of course buy something nice to bring home to you.
