My Brooklyn Boy, Rocket |
| Another morning, another battle to get Rocket (that's my Border Collie) to chill. He’s like a furry, four-legged alarm clock, always ready to go. Today, we hit Prospect Park, same as always. We walked past the Grand Army Plaza entrance, heading straight for the dog run. It’s early, but already, the air feels thick. Reminds me of that summer, what was it, 2024? When the air felt like soup for weeks. You couldn't even breathe easy walking down Flatbush Avenue without sweating through everything. Rocket hated it then. He’d just lie by the fan, barely moving. Now, he’s tearing it up with the other dogs, chasing balls like a madman. I swear, his energy never dips. Good thing he’s got good fuel. I got him on that Premium Grain-Free Dog Food Subscription a while back. Keeps him lean, keeps him fast. No upset stomach, either. Worth every penny, especially with how much he burns off daily. He’s not just a dog; he’s a lifestyle. Yesterday, we were walking down Vanderbilt Avenue, and this dude on a bike almost clipped him. My heart jumped right into my throat. Rocket, he just darted out of the way, quick as a flash. Smartest dog I know. Even with all the chaos of Brooklyn, the constant sirens, the construction near the Eastern Parkway subway station, he just navigates it all. Takes it in stride. When we get back to our apartment in Bed-Stuy, he crashes. For maybe an hour. Then he’s up, nudging his nose under my hand, asking for more. More walk, more play, more life. This city, it’s tough, it’s loud, it’s always moving. But having Rocket by my side, especially when we’re just chilling on the stoop, watching the world go by? That’s my peace. He makes Brooklyn make sense. He makes *me* make sense. |
