I am trying to find a dog run for small dogs in NYC or Brooklyn.
Does anyone know one? where dogs like pit bulls, retrievers and other bigger dogs arenât allowed?
Thanks
Answer
The small dog runs that I know of are in Manhattan. There are separate areas in Tompkins Sq Park as well as the 23rd st run (at B'way and 5th)
The people in Prospect Park are very cool and off-leash hours there are posted here:

My suggestion to you is to watch out for your dog, as nobody else will. Most people walking their dogs there are aware of what their dogs are doing, but not all. Don't be shy about saying something to people whose dogs are getting too pushy with yours.

I just want to run away. Help?

I honestly don't know where to begin. I'm just so unhappy with myself. Please don't tell me to go to counseling, call a hotline, talk to family and friends, or just learn to love myself, because for right now, none of that is going to happen.
I'm a teenager so I guess this stuff is normal but i honestly just hate my life and myself
I feel like a failure, I'm good at nothing. I have zero confidence, and I'm so humble to the point here it's not even humble, it's scary actually.
I play piano, and I'm into music, I have been for the past six years. I've never made any music or sports thing that I've tried out for
I feel so alone
Yes, I talk sometimes, I'm shy but I can open up, but I feel so different from the rest of the world. It's like I'm walking around all of the cliques and I'm just invisible. You would have to be in my position to understand what I'm trying to say, but to be honest, I don't even know what I'm trying to say.
I want to be smart, I have a 4.3 and I'm disappointed. I hate school, i hate it so much. I hate the cliques, mostly the kids, the teachers, the prison like concepts (we even can't walk around without our ID's) the brainwashing, and part of it because I have stomach issues, like IBS. it's so hard for me to go to school, i miss so much because I'm just always getting sick and i don't even want to be there in the first place.
The thing I hate most about myself above all is my height. I'm 5'2 ish. I cannot stand it, I live in a small suburb, which I hate. My life revolves around fashion. I spend the weekends watching documentaries on designers, modeling, making collages, fashion designing, sewing, researching, watching modeling/fashion shows, taking self taken images of my self trying to model, reading books on fashion, EVERYTHING fashion which sucks because the only interest people have here in fashion is shopping at Forever 21. I want to model so bad. I have never done any drug, nor will I ever, and I have never been to a "party"... but I wanted to take HGH to grow because modeling is my dream. I don't want to be a commercial model, my heart lies in Runway, and I feel like all of my dreams are so far fetched. I need to grow, no ifs ands or buts. I just feel so lost in this world, I guess that's what I'm trying to get it. I just want to runaway to NYC. is there a shelter there? I'm just so unhappy with myself. I also have an Eating Disorder that nobody knows about
& seborrheic dermatitis, and I don't feel comfortable in my own hair.
The only thing I do like would be my personality so I guess that's a start.
I just feel like no good. I have no energy to do anything by societies standards. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Please ditch the idea of running away NYC or anywhere. You will probably end up a victim of the sex slave trade.
You aren't alone in your high school dilemma. If you hate it that much, see if you can home school in a way that helps you get what is legally required in a more fun way that is suited to your interests and learning style and lets you connect with people more like you. It is a super-creative alternative, it is whatever you make of it. Message me if you want more info on that.
It is tempting to wish for things you cannot have. I hated being taller than nearly every guy in high school and college. I would have given a lot to be petite, because no insecure/shallow boy (most of 'em) ever invites the tallest girl to dance. Now I don't mind being tall. I embrace the advantages and don't worry about the disadvantages. (And I found my cute guy and have been happily married 27 years). You would be wise to do the same. Being petite, and 5'2" has its pluses and minuses. Focus on the pluses.
You are reading way too much into the joys of being a runway model. Constant dieting, walking in ways that are really bad for your back, constantly being taken at face value (you are a prime candidate for becoming a victim of this mentality and really suffering for it). If you love runway, fine, be involved at some level...maybe start a trend for petite runway models. Seriously. If "little people" can become a reality TV sensation, along with trailer park citizens, rich but tacky "housewives of" various places, overweight redneck toddler pageant contestants, overweight people catering people with big bodies and big boobies, pest control specialists who wear lots of spikes and skulls - seriously, girl, anything is possible. But only if you live to accomplish it. Running away to NYC and ignoring your depression and Eating Disorder are NOT the way to go.
If you don't feel like you have enough energy to do anything by "society's standards," then maybe you need to re-evaluate what society is asking of you. If you are honest, kind, helpful when asked, and respectful of others and their property (including helping your folks keep the house tidy and clean) and take a bath from time to time, you are probably doing just fine when it comes to "society."
You have some health issues that are creating problems, so you need to deal with them. While I can't promise that doctors can solve your issues, you should check in with them periodically and consider their suggestions and prescriptions. Especially when it comes to the emotional issues that are impacting your Eating! Whether you don't eat, or binge-purge, or have some bizarre addiction, you need to understand that you are damaging the foundation of your health AND beauty. Get help. Now. Your tendency toward depression and running away can be worked on at the same time. There are some natural approaches that may help your other conditions. Message me if interested.
Lay a foundation for a healthy, happy, beautiful life. Seriously, start with babysteps like these:
But go to bed at a reasonable hour.
Get into the sunshine (vitamin D! and happy hormones!) and exercise daily for about 15-30 minutes
To have a sexy, model-ready body, do T-Tapp 2-3x per week, and walk on the other days
Make your bed, tidy your room and bathroom every day
Sign up for Flylady's free daily emails, read and absorb. It may seem like a weird idea at first, but trust me on this.
I don't have room for an essay on nutrition and mental health, but maybe you should start researching that yourself.
Since you love fashion, you might love the Dressing Your Truth and Energy Profiling videos as much as I do. There are quite a few on youtube. I actually bought the four courses, one for each beauty type, and it is probably the best I've ever seen out of all the (huge number!) of personality and appearance type programs and theories I've ever read. Only this one is mostly video content, very practical, with ongoing learning. The reason I thought of it for you is because you have yet to discover and embrace your unique beauty AND you love fashion. You could go crazy (in a good way!) creating things for yourself and others with this information. Just search around youtube for DYT, Dressing Your Truth, Energy Profiling, Carol Tuttle, "The four types talk about" and just follow the fascinating trail. You can learn a fair amount just by watching the free stuff, if you are observant enough. But most of all, Carol - the program developer and main instructor - is trying really hard to help free women from negative messages about their appearance that they get from society, and encourage them to own their own look - and gives them the tools and principles to guide their own creative ideas.
