BARCLAY’S THOUGHTS
BARCLAY HUDSON PAWBLISHER Follow me on Instagram @downtownbarclay
HI FURRIENDS AND WELCOME TO SPRING! With the vaccine rolling out for real, it looks like our humans can finally hit play after a year of Paws in NYC. We have been patient. We’ve sat and we’ve stayed. But soon, it will be time to run, jump, and explore. I have interviewed a lot of pups, many of whom haven’t known a world outside of their New York apartments, or were maybe too young to remember what outside was like. Even veteran New Yorkers like myself might not recognize the city we left behind a year ago. On the short walks I take with my mom, I see a change on every Downtown street. Some of the rush has left NYC, leaving room for new growth and opportunity. And change can be really good. I got a chance to speak to some great city pups looking toward the future and their hopes for a newly opened New York City.
