Snow day.

This has been a tough week for our baby girl Rowie.
Currently, in Williamsburg, there is an outbreak of Leptospirosis which is a disease spread from rats.
Luckily Rowie is safe and healthy but due to the poor maintenance of the dog parks in our area, Brooklyn is quickly becoming a ghost town for places to bring your dog.
So far 4 dogs have already died from this disease in Williamsburg and they expect the numbers to rise.

The biggest challenge we’re having is where do we take our dog to exercise and train that is mentally stimulating for her?

Most of the parks are nasty and the nice ones don’t allow dogs off-leash which I totally understand that.

With all of that being said it’s important to enjoy the good times cause the tough times are sucky but they make us who we are.

Placing restrictions on your creative processes is one of the biggest tools I’ve used in my career.
When I was in art school I thought these restrictions were bullshit and I tried to find every way I could to get around them.
At the time I didn’t understand that the restrictions were meant to push our minds to think creatively.

Although the dog parks are closed Meg and I have been forced to get creative with how we expend our dogs physical and mental energy.
This can only help us in the future when the weather is bad, or the parks are closed and so on.

Don’t be discouraged by the bumps in the road or even worse an entire route being closed, find your own way around them.
