Not that every day isn’t a momentous occasion with Oliver at one’s side, but today was a MOMENTOUS OCCASION. For the first time in his admittedly brief existence, Oliver ventured out of 7S with the intent to pal around with his New York neighbors. Daring to push the limits of his walking boundaries, Ollie made it down to Washington Square Park to try his luck with various pups. Unfortunately, the small dog quota was seriously lacking, and his loving parents decided against pitting the impressionable youngster against the likes of rottweilers and ridgebacks. To Union Square instead, a decidedly more laid back vibe considering the only dog there left at the first signs of an impending downpour. Ever the optimist, Oliver and his owners waited out the tempest under the shaky shelter of a lone patio umbrella, then trudged home soggy but satisfied.
More images after the break…
The day started sunny and beautiful in Washington square park, with performers and admirers out in full force 
Oliver, however, was “wary” to interact with unknown friends…at first keeping his distance
Then a bit closer…
But then the rain spoiled our fun
Naturally the little guy’s pelt then needed a wash…
And a dry…
And some “Keeping up with the Kardashians…”
And finally some snoring…

Amazing photos Graham. Feel as though I was there with you guys. He is SO damn cute. Which camera did you use? The image color is so great! Keep shooting and posting!
Soon enough you will be here with us! All of these were with the 5D and the 24-70, with the 50 for the inside shots. I needed something quick to capture the fast moving bugger!
They are all such great images, Graham! I love the one where Oliver is checking out the fluffly dog from afar and especially love the one where he is staring at the French Bulldog. Can’t wait to personally take the little guy to the park and watch him interact with his ‘peers.’ Ha!
