April 23 PM WalkAs this was really only the 3rd day of stupendously warm weather, Chester let me know that he wasn't into a long walk. So it was fortunate when, while walking down the street, we ran into one of Chester's doggie pals. Gracie is a Rottweiler guard dog who lives at Greg's Rubbish Removal, just 3 blocks north of us on 3rd ave. A kind woman has taken it upon herself to walk Gracie twice daily and to covertly try and find her a new home. Living in a junkyard is a pretty dirty job for anyone, but especially for a puppy with as sweet of a disposition as Gracie's. The really sad part of this whole situation is, as gentrification and development takes hold of Gowanus, that Greg's Rubbish Removal (Gracie's home) is slated for demolition in just 8 days-- meaning a very uncertain future for tail-having Gracie. She could really use a couple of things-- a new home, regular walks, and a bath (rolling in motor oil doesn't do much for a healthy coat). With such a great personality and spirit, it would be a shame for Gracie to have to be put in an unfamiliar situation. She is up for adoption should you, or anyone care to take her in. If she were adopted, Chester would lose a play mate, but Gracie would gain a real home. That's a trade off Chester certainly understands.
