One of the memorable things in our trip to New York City to see our beloved dog, Jack, compete in the Westminster Kennel Club Show was that we travelled with some dear friends. We have known them for 50 years—since they were in college. I cannot say how grateful I am to them. Thanks to the husband of the pair being a multi-generational member of a club with reciprocity with New York’s Union League Club we were able to have a room there for our stay. A picture of our room is at the top of this post.
The club has a strict dress code so I wore slacks and a jacket (no jeans) the entire time I was there. It’s reasonably convenient to the Javits Center and Madison Square Garden where the dog show was held.
We did a lot of walking—twelve miles the first day, eleven the second. I probably should have taken pictures of the snow and trash piled on the sidewalks, a strange sight for a Chicagoan. Chicago is prepared for snow and, consequently, has it hauled away. That is not apparently the case in New York.
