In my next life, I wanna be Gary’s dog…
Cue the rants about dogs and dog owners. If anything original is expressed I’ll be amazed.
You mean like people complaining about people complaining?
Love it 💝
Absolutely hysterical! Love the doggy hats. ❤️
That edible arrangement must get pretty heavy.
I want that dog’s fruit hat!!!
My favorite breed of dog: (edible) hot dogs. They fill my gut. And then I can do my own pooping!
You’re so evolved!
TMI
I’ll settle for being one on the UES too!!!
Adorable and true.
Such cute customrers!
No more dirty dogs!
Then make sure you vote in November!
Hope that dog is named Carmen (Miranda)
Adorable. Thanks Gary.
Love the hats! “Haute” only in NY…
Love this! The dig daze of summer are upon us.
The dog daze!
Wouldn’t that be nice!
In my next life I wanna be a Princess!!!
Carmen Mirandog!
Love the dogs and the doggy memes!
Now, will WSR print the following? We need equal time for … KITTIES/CATS!!! Millions of Americans have and love cats. And there are cats on the Upper West Side. (:
I like that cats don’t impose on everyone — they stay in their own home — and they don’t make a mess in the streets. CAT POWER!!!
Love the headdress!
Regardless of the season the “haute dogs” of the Upper West Side are ALWAYS in fashion…and most welcome…
Brilliant!!
