My name is Lila and I am a Miniature Australian Shepherd born in the sunshine state of Florida and living in the big apple (NYC). My adventure in life started in Florida, where my daddy went to pick me up. While staying for a week in Florida with my daddy (and mommy still in NYC), I started visiting “safe” places so I could learn how to behave in public. One of the first places my daddy took me to was to my grandparents (from both sides). After meeting all of them, it was time to head to the big apple to meet my anxious mommy. On my way to New York, daddy placed me in a crate and I slept the whole way! Can you believe it? Mommy came and picked us up from the airport and obviously, daddy had to drive home because mommy just wanted to play with me the whole way home. That same evening, I had my first NYC outing experience, we went to a place called Morgan’s Barbecue which to my pawrents surprise was extremely dog-friendly!! After finding a dog-friendly space so easily, mommy was very excited to find more places in New York and that is when she found out that it is not as easy as she thought. Therefore. we decided to start this blog to help every city pup like me, know where to go and if it’s worth it.
