This little guy made a visit today and everyone went nuts. He’s a Havanese and will be less than 10 pounds when full grown.

Dakoda
June 11th, 2006 · 1 Comment
Recently my parents had to put our family dog down. Max was 15 years old and really was not doing well. 15 years, though, is a long time. Half my life, we had Max. Then one day my mom came home from lunch and found him hemorrhaging and that was the last straw. It was really sad, but he had a good, long life so we were all glad for that. I knew my parents would get another dog, we’ve always had a dog, and I’m sure the place just felt empty without Max around. My mom got wind of someone who knew someone who knew someone who had a litter of puppies. And one day last week my brother and I got a suprise email with photos of a new puppy.
My dad sent an email to my niece, Stephanie, asking her to name the new puppy. I’m sure she was thinking of a lot of good names, not like when she was really little and wanted to name their cat Pikachu. My brother had to gently tell her that Pikachu was a… uh.. “silly” name. This weekend Stephanie named the puppy Dakoda. I think that’s a good name.
Also, at first I thought that Dakoda was a yellow lab puppy, but my mom said that his mom was a chocolate lab and his dad was a white shepard. Either way, he’s going to be a big dog!
OHNY – Scandinavia House

Scandinavia House, Murray Hill, Manhattan
After leaving Roosevelt Island Jeannette and Eleanor went to Trader Joe’s in Jersey (Yvan’s parents were in with their car). Masako, Tien and I went to one last openhousenewyork site, Scandinavia House. It celebrates the cultures and traditions of the five Nordic countries – Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.
In 2004 in Finland, The Snow Show is scheduled to take place. Artists and architects are gathering to build large-scale structures out of snow and ice. Here in New York at the Scandinavia House, the featured exhibit is a behind the scenes look at the artists and architects thoughts, plans and models for The Snow Show.
- Tien’s post on Scandinavia House
After leaving the Scandinavia House, we got some cheesesteaks at Carl’s which just opened up in Tien’s neighborhood.
Before we went in the Scandinavia House, we passed by a pet store and I snapped this photo of all of us and the little puppies in the window. Will this be my next Mirror Project entry?
Puppies in the Window, Upper East Side, Manhattan
Overall, I think that openhousenewyork was a success. One thing that was agreed upon is that the marketing isn’t where it should be. It seemed like the people that I know who are heavy internet users all knew about the event but people who were less nerdy.. even people who are online everyday.. had no idea. If they’re going to do this next year, I would suggest to the openhousenewyork committee more offline advertising. Of course, maybe they were trying to keep attendance on the low side for the first year. .. not that it wasn’t well attended, but it’s not like all of New York knew it was going on.
