Good morning New York City. 32 days till Governors Island opens for the season! We can’t wait to welcome you all back.

My current screen saver. Close up of hisself a few weeks ago. Doggo loves a day of hard work.

Last night’s over-night on GI. Doggos patiently (not) waiting for me to prepare my coffee so we can go on patrol. They love the (nearly) full moon.

Max, the Lady, the Staten Island Ferry and the fog. Another beautiful day on Governors Island. The landscape crews are already out getting the island ready for public access- less than 70 days away.

Maxie at biweekly Staff meeting, trying to convince someone/anyone that geese were running amuck somewhere on the Island.

Working doggo is done for the day.

Maxie looks like he’s in an Andrew Wyeth painting. @sheldeins

Maxie with Quinn in pursuit. Swipe for the closeups. Maxie is not amused! @mollie_ann23

It’s a misty, moody kind of day out in New York harbor @sheldeins

Quinn and Max are super intent on goose chasing this morning. (Maxie still has his service dog patches on, which is his second full time job). #workingdogsgonnawork @mollie_ann23
