  3. Hi there! I’ve been following your blog for a little while now. Thanks for all the great design posts. I’m a dog trainer here in the NYC area. If you are seriously thinking about getting a studio dog, drop me a line. I’d be happy to offer a free mini consult to help you decide what kind/age/size dog is best, and then, of course, training as needed. Cheers!

  5. Yes adopt, when we adopted our mutts 10 years ago, we coined the term Boxador (Boxer / Labrador), now it is a breed name in some parts of the world. I can see the tinadoodle becoming a household name.

  6. My office and other offices I know love having a dog or two around. It’s a nice way to get your mind off work for a few minutes, and everyone gets a turn petting him or playing fetch.

    Also – check out the ASPCA on the UES.. we adopted 2 kittens from them last year and it was a great experience.
