Uptown Dog Heads Downtown

Rocket is sleeping underneath the desk right now while I type.  I believe he has had an action packed afternoon.  He's been a good boy all day.  When you had mentioned that he had lived in NYC, I figured it would be fun for him to see some of the sights of downtown Los Angeles. 

Here he is sending me telepathy for us to get a move on.

 

It worked!  Rocket loved watching the action out of the car window and would look over occasionally at me.  I think he wondered who I was and what a change of events it was from yesterday.  We even heard Elton John singing Rocket's song on the radio.  I swear I heard Rocket humming when it came to his part of the song.

 

Rocket was very excited by time we arrived and parked on the border of Little Tokyo & the Arts District.  Here he is posing with bated breath in front of the city.  Let's explore! 

 

He took a breather in a little square in Little Tokyo.  You can see the lanterns dancing above him. 

 

Rocket has found his inside "dawg" while cruising down the city streets.  Word.  He had to get a photo of the tags on the wall, and me being his new mija, I had to oblige.  I saw him flash the secret paw sign too when we passed a homeboy.

 

Rocket really enjoyed the art district area.  

We even stopped at a little café and sat and relaxed.  I enjoyed soup and he enjoyed a small sliver of his Happy Hips Duck Breast.  Shortly after we began to head back.

All is now calm and quiet here.
