Lazy Sunday

We took Hawk to his first restaurant. We looked for a place with outdoor seating where Hawk could sit quietly while we ate brunch and watched the Yankees win. We ended up at Chelsea Grill. Though they technically don't have outdoor seating, the whole front wall is a rollup door, which was open because the weather was beautiful. So we sat at the table just next to the sidewalk. Hawk struggled to understand that we just wanted him to sit right next to the table. He stood, walking around in the little space we allowed. He had his head over our table, sniffing around. Rachel gave him some calamari. Eventually, he sat down and enjoyed a Flossie. Many passersby noticed him and one strange man wanted to learn all about him and his temperament so he could be informed. We tried to be short with him and told him to have a nice day, so we could eat in peace. But as we won't forget, you can never eat in peace when you eat next to the sidewalk.

We then took an afternoon stroll up to Lincoln Center to see David Blaine in his second to last day before he drowns himself alive.

Finally, around 8 pm we went to the Chelsea dog run. There weren't too many dogs there, so Hawk didn't get to run around to much. The caretaker of the dog run did offer us a free brand new Kong, which someone had left the previous day. We took it home, cleaned it, put a treat in it and some peanut butter, and Hawk was busy for almost an hour. He surprisingly got everything out! We don't know how he did it, especially because the Kong has such a small hole, but he did!
