For the record, I live in Jersey.
New Jersey is Manhattans first wife. Left to settle in the shadow of her flashy ex ever gazing on the thriving shores, sharing the statue of liberty - he has weekends , but the NJ taxpayers get her all week, and she still turns her back to us. Still involved with one another financially - New Jersey works in New York, and New York gets state taxes from all these commuters.
So its a little bit of a sensitive topic when referred to as the "New York" Pet Examiner, but i get it (and I claim new York when I'm abroad, its just easier)
My dog Buka is from New York. Long Island to be exact, and she has vowed to never return.
Otis, the other handsome love of my life, is from the mean streets of Jersey City. He walks with a swagger and has some busted snaggle teeth...he is a true Jersey Dog.
