30 DAYS OF NYC MEMORIES – DAY 2: WALKS AND NYC DOG PARKS

Day 2 of Matt’s “30 Days of Memories” post from his blog!

When I moved to NYC I brought along with me my own little nugget, Trixie. She was 3 years old and had not been with me for even a year when we moved out of spacious, yard and lake filled Michigan, to the concrete jungle of Brooklyn. As she nears her 10th Birthday, I really am impressed with how she has adapted to the change. A big difference with Brooklyn was the amount of time we got to spend together alone just wandering the streets during our walks. In Michigan, you can let your dog in the backyard for their daily discretion. In BK, you have to get out and walk those little ones, and Trixie gets walked three times a day.

About the author

I’m Tommy, a writer and storyteller who works in marketing for the arts and cultural communities. I’m the author of Mabel Stanley and the Town That Was Built All Wrong, a fun and heartfelt book, and I’m currently working on a novel about self-discovery and the complexities of memory. Writing is a big part of my life, but I also enjoy creating experiences that bring people together, which is why my husband, Matt, and I co-run the online store Have Fun Spread Joy. It’s all about embracing the playful side of life and giving back along the way. I’m married to Matt, and we share our home with our two pets, Zoey (the cat) and Dixie (the dog). When I’m not writing, working on our store, or doing marketing for the arts, I like to dive into theater, something I want to get more involved with over time. I was diagnosed with ADHD, and while it comes with its own set of challenges, it also gives me a unique perspective that I try to channel into everything I do. Whether it’s writing, working on creative projects, or finding ways to spread joy, I’m all about making a lasting impact in whatever I do.
