ELDERBULLS

A man after our own heart: Jin has two ELDERBULLS he describes as "my best friends."

Please click on this post from Dogs of New York and show Jin, Chellie Girl, and White Boy some love.

PS: Dogs of New York is a project of Beyond Breed, our family's non-profit organization that supports the bond between people and pets and shares resources with pet owners in under-served neighborhoods.

Chellie Girl (age 11) and White Boy (age 7) and Jin live in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.

"I've had them both since they were puppies. Husband and wife, ha! They've been married for 7 years."

"I'm 53 years old and these are the first dogs I ever had. They're my best friends. People don't get it, man, but dogs are the best."

"One time a few years ago, Chellie Girl ate poison. I didn't think he was gonna make it, I was so scared. I rushed her to the hospital and we were just in time."

"Chellie Girl's expression is always the same, but White Boy? He's got a thousand different faces. You can always tell what he's thinking. And when he's happy? He is really happy and you just know it. I love this dog so much."

"They also live with a cat."

Jin is a local tattoo artist at Hood Ink on Myrtle Avenue, if anyone's in the market for one.

HAPPY DANCE ALERT!!! From our family's non-profit organization, Beyond Breed....

: 2010, the day we figured out which of the dogs was eating un**es and hiding the remnants around the house. We solved the mystery when Martha trotted into the living room wearing an underwear-cape.

Oh, dogs.....you drive us crazy, but you make us giggle!

The last two posts on Dogs of New York have been seniors......swoon! If you haven't "liked" this page already, you're missing out!

Cyrus is a 9-year-old dog I met near Times Square in Manhattan. "We live uptown but he comes to the office with me."

"He walks like an eggbeater sometimes, but he's been that way since he was a puppy."

"I've never had a dog live past 10. I hope Cyrus is the one who does."

"Say hello to my little friend," said Martha Washington. (The little friend is Mary Todd Lincoln, a 12-year-old Pug)

Martha Washington (age 12.5) enjoys a DIY hot stone massage.
