More of Photo Shoot in DUMBO

Will have better photos soon from photographer.

Another A-Reyk Fashion Shoot

This is what we did on our afternoon walk today.

Dog Tired

Stick 'Em Up

That Reykjavik, he is such a bandit.

Brooklyn Bridge Park.

Visiting Midtown Manhattan

Today Reykjavik got to go visit G at work, on Park Avenue. Here he is with Grand Central and the MetLife Building behind him.

Then he went to explore the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. He has a good eye for antiquities. Here he is appreciating the beautiful clock in the lobby. It was created for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. Nine feet tall, the clock weighs two tons. It makes even Reykjavik, at 130 pounds, look small.

After a tiring day, Alexander Reykjavik basks in the glow of the Waldorf-Astoria Lobby`s fabulous chandelier.

Catching a few zzzz on the floral carpet after a tiring day of business and pleasure.

Making Friends

Still at Republic, attracting a crowd.

Dog-friendly Table

Yeah! Worth the wait.

Waiting for a Table

At Republic in Union Square.

In New York Even The Dog Walkers Are Attractive

Brothers In Arms

Remember this? 1 year ago. Glad that is over. Reykjavik and I and demonstrated we would go to the mat for each other. We were attempting to keep a boxer at bay. Notice we each got wounded on the exact same place on the exact same arm. We stick together!

Habana Outpost

Habana weekend. Reykjavik is just hanging out.

NOLA Dane

Yet another Great Dane. This one lives on the West Bank.

Zoey - Great Dane in NOLA

We met Zoey in Jackson Square. She was visiting from Mississippi.

Tulah

Not a good picture, but you can still see how similar her markings are
to A-Reyk's.
She lives with her mom Jennifet at Style Lab for Men on Magazine
street in NOLA. One of our favorite stores for many reasons:)

Reykjavik's Girl Twin-Tulah

She has very similar markings and personality. Only her face is
different.

A-Reyk Makes A New Friend

Though Reykjavik looks like he is out cold, he is actually just
soaking up the attention from his new friend Nicole.

A Great Dane of course.

Blue Dog

At Water Street Restaurant When's dinner?

Water Dog?

While Alexander Reykjavik would never touch the East River last year, he came back from Key West a different dog. Here he found a traffic cone submerged in the waves of Dumbo Beach.

Not only did he wade out to it, he grabbed it and ultimately pulled it all the way back to the beach. Vacations can inspire growth in anyone.

Pet Airways Takes Flight in Summer 2009

One of my biggest buzzkills is having to leave Reykjavik home when we travel. Now if you are lucky enough to fall in love with a 20 pound or under furry friend, you can take them in the cabin of an airplane with you, but if, like us, you have a MUCH larger best friend, its quite a different story.

Finally there is a less stressful way to get your best friend to his/her destination.



You cannot fly WITH your pet, which would be ideal, and the flights go out of smaller regional airports, so this will involve an extra trip to drop them off before you head to your own "people flight", most likely at a larger airport. So there is some extra expense and inconvenience. When I think back on the four day road trip from New York City to the very tip of Florida last year with Alexander Reykjavik, I am willing to have some extra expense to make it quicker for us all.

Currently Pet Airways is flying to NYC, Washington D.C., Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles. I have my fingers crossed that they will head south to a Florida destination this winter. It would be a much easier way to get A-Reyk down to Key West.

SpeedDog

Nothing but a blur.

Dirty Mouth

DUMBO Beach

Cooling off in the sand.

Zach meets Max the Cat

Time for more puppy socialization. Today Zachary Taylor got to meet his first cat, our friend Max.

Max is indifferent, Zach is very curious. Because Max is so calm, Zach does not see him as prey at all, just another thing to check out in this new apartment.

Then a closer sniff . . .

Extreme close-up! Another successful adventure.

Two Danes at Play

Alexander Reykjavik and Zachary Taylor enjoying some leisure time. That is Reykjavik doing the talking. He rarely barks, but he is very talkative.

Sunbathing

Zach took the first chance he could get to catch some afternoon rays on the terrace.

Copy Dog

Every time Reyk strikes a lazy pose, Zachary Taylor tries his best to emulate it.
