Cookie Carts Coming to Parks

NYC Parks LogoThe parks department is accepting applications for vendors of pushcarts to hawk their dog-friendly wares in city parks. While it could become a good thing for dogs (eg. the carts could sell dog water bowls or portable water caddies in the summer and booties for cold, wet paws in the winter), it sounds like these carts will emphasize the more edible dog stuffs (read: Cookies, snacks, biscuits, nibbles, kibbles, etc.).Carrot from http://www.kindplanet.org/
While it could be fun and cute to swing by the cart for a treat for the pooch, couldn’t it also be just one more way to unfortunately fatten up Fido?
Hopefully, these new carts will sell the doggy diet sticks. They are yummy, crunchy, and better for dogs than baked treats!

Can I help you? Pandora was rescued from the Brooklyn CACC two years ago by Mari. You can find Pandora’s whole photo set on Flickr. Mari walks dogs and takes some great photos.
