St. Pawtrick's Day

Wow this past week was very lovely and although I enjoyed myself thoroughly, I am tired. On Wednesday night, our good friend Wendy hosted a St. Pawtrick’s Day pawty for me and my friends here at the Humane Society of New York. So many cute outfits and fun times and the best part was that all the proceeds raised are going to a number of the sick animals we have been treating. Wendy is always so caring and wonderful with all the things she does for our animals. We love her and speaking of luck, we are so lucky to have friends like these!

The next day was the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade. Did you know that it was the 250^th anniversary? That’s 1750 in dog years!

Hope you had a great weekend and got some fresh spring air. Til next time, Willis.

Here's a photo of my friend Winky with his

dad Robert and our friend Wendy.

I Went To The Dentist!

There are very few things I fear, but this phrase is one of them: "This is your friendly dental reminder." Saturday was not my favorite of days, as I had to get a dental. But boy am I relieved I saw my friend Denise! So fresh and clean feeling, and healthy too. Look how pretty I look.



The cleaning reminded me that I wanted to remind everyone that it is very important to get pets their dental exams. We can't gargle or do it ourselves so please help us out. Vets can do the major cleanings but owners can do small things too!

Happy brushing! You and your pet will appreciate it.

Bunny Hop

Now that I started talking about rabbits, I was thinking about how rabbits are just like me. We need a lot of care and attention. If you are thinking of getting a rabbit, think hard and take your time to make sure it is the right decision. Rabbits can live up to 12 years and that's a long commitment! Fun fact: Did you know in the Chinese New Year, this is the year of the rabbit? A lot of people are talking about getting these little furry pets and I just wanted to make sure you get all the facts.

The Flying Bunny

You never know what your day will bring and who you are going to meet. In my most recent adventure, we went to a taping of Nate Berkus (still awaiting air date!) so some of my adoptable friends could model. Before you go on the show, you wait in the green room. While we were waiting, this spunky little blonde girl spotted my friend Buttercup and came in to say hello.

Turns out her name is Annika Vrklan and she was a guest on the show as well. She is a Guinness World Record holder for her skateboarding and she is only six! When she skates, she wears these really cute helmets and one of them has pink bunny ears where she got her nickname "The Flying Bunny".


It just so happens I got a set just like em!


We can't wait until she comes back to New York City to visit us. Best of luck Annika!

You can find more information about Annika on her facebook page, HERE.

New Year!

Happy New Year!


On my way to the ball drop this year, I took the subway, just like most New Yorker's travel. Just wanted to take this time for some reminders on travel tips, especially on the subway.

Always, always, always keep your pet in their carrier. Unless it is a service dog, they should never be loose. You never know what could happen, plus it's against the law.

Also, carry a little water and food for them.

Don't forget to bring their leash and collar and tags.

Never leave their carrier unattended if they are inside.

Don't forget to bring bags and tissue to pick up after them. No one needs an extra little new years present laying around!

Holiday Volunteers

Picture this. You work hard at school all season long and it's finally vacation time. You're friends all talk about going to this warm location and that cool ski resort. But you have other plans. Of all the things you could do with your precious time off, you want to volunteer at the Humane Society of New York. Over here, we are so fortunate to have many people who think like this and we could not be more grateful!

This past week we had some of the very cheerful and jolly friends come and visit us. We had

Toys For Dogs to go to later that night. Toys For Dogs is an annual event that Wendy Diamond and Animal Fair Magazine throws for us. It generates so many great gifts for the animals and we always have a good time. More about the actual event later!

The girls helped to create this stunning gift drop box for the event. They made it so pretty, don't you think? We LOVE them!

Me helping them hang the stocking and show off our artistic talent!
