About Me
- GOIN' TO THE DOGS OF NEW YORK
- I'M A NEW YORK CAJUN WHO OWNED AND OPERATED A LUCRATIVE DOG-WALKING AND PET CARE BUSINESS IN MANHATTAN AND THE POCONO MOUNTAINS. I ADORE LIVE THEATRE, BUT WHY NOT WITH ALL THE DRAMA I'VE HAD IN MY LIFE! I WAS IN MANHATTAN ON 9-11 AND IT TOOK ME 6 MONTHS AFTER KATRINA TO FIND MY SON FROM NEW ORLEANS. I'VE BEEN CLEAN AND SOBER SINCE JULY 1977. I'VE APPEARED ON NUMEROUS TV SHOWS ON BEHALF OF CHILD ABUSE. BY THE SAME TOKEN, I'VE BEEN A GUEST ON HOWARD STERN AND HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE 1ST WOMEN TO MARCH TOPLESS EACH YEAR IN THE PRIDE PARADE DOWN 5TH AVENUE. AND YES, IT WAS MOI THAT MADE THE STOIC DICK CAVETT LOSE HIS COOL AND SCREAM "GO FUCK YOURSELF" AT ME FROM A BROADWAY STAGE. I'VE EXPERIENCED EVERY KIND OF INSANITY IMAGINABLE AND HAVE OFTEN DISHED OUT A DOSE OR TWO MYSELF. BUT, AS LONG AS I CAN FIND HUMOR AT LIFE'S DARKEST MOMENTS AND CAN LAUGH - THERE IS NOTHING TO HOLD ME DOWN FOR LONG. PEOPLE HAVE SAID I'VE BEEN GOING TO THE DOGS ALL MY LIFE, IT WASN'T UNTIL I MET UP WITH MY MANHATTAN MUTTS THAT I KNEW THEY WERE ON TO SOMETHING. THE MUTTS AND THE NUTS WHO LOVE THEM HAVE SAVED MY LIFE.

Sometimes it just takes a little love to turn things around. I can't imagine what kind of person could treat a trusting animal so cruelly. JillyBean has done miraculously well and asks so little in return for her loyal affection. Good luck to her and her new family.

I recently mentioned to a 24-year-old that there are more shelters for animals than there are for people. His instant reply was, "Of course there are; we don't give up on people as quickly as we give up on animals." I think he's right and that's a good thing.
Clearly, Jill is an exception - although wasn't she abandoned along with a child?
You've seen those bumper stickers that say, "Good happens"? You need a bumper sticker that says, "We are good happenin'ers".
Bless you for what you do.
Hi, Tinker:
Aren't these goingtothedogsofnewyork folks awesome???
I was one of Jill's rescuers -- Jill wasn't abandoned; she was found chained to a radiator in her owner's apt, without food or water and sitting in her own feces. Child protective services found her when they went to remove the child who was also living there. Let's hope that child is being loved and is thriving wherever she has ended up.
