Well, it has finally happened to us. Our little Greta is one of the “bad” dogs in Prospect Park. After four fights, we can no longer let her off leash. The odd thing is that she’s been fine with most dogs. She seems to attack only dogs with high-strung owners who continue to freak out after Greta is pulled off within a matter of seconds.

Anyway, it’s been a blessing. Not for the dogs, because they have to stay on leash. But we’ve been exploring different dog friendly options around the city.

A walk across the Brooklyn Bridge seemed like a great idea. Usually a lovely place to be on an early Spring morn. It wasn’t a very pleasant walk with 2 dogs. The pedestrian path is fairly narrow, with tourists stopping to take photos every three seconds. The cyclists are zooming by, so if you need to pass a tourist, you must look behind you in the fast lane. Kind of like the FDR.

We ended up turning around before Manhattan and went to the Main Street part of Brooklyn Bridge Park where we found the dog run empty. We let the girls run wild there for a bit.

The bridge walk wasn’t horrific. We would do it again. On a scale of 1-10, I’d give it 5 paws.
