If any neighborhood loves their pets more than anything it’s Greenpoint, Brooklyn! Get ‘em blessed at Church of the Ascension (127 Kent St) on Sunday October 13, 2012 at 3pm.
Do you think your dog or cats needs a blessing? Maybe an exorcism?
Let us know your prayers for your pets in the comments!
This Etsy store not only caught my eye because it features a cat in a cone; if you’re a cat owner you can relate, but the story behind the store’s name is pretty insane, too. “Pink Baby Mouse Shop is named after my first business, which was breeding mice. I specialize in hand made, unique pieces with a sense of humor.” I wonder what she was breeding mice for? Pets? Labs? Snake Food? Other characters include a Chihuahua Superhero.
I know you have the cutest pup in the dog run! Well show off his good looks and get a Free Pet Portrait at the McGolrick Park Farmers Market on August 26, 2012 from noon-6pm. Talented photographer Nicolas Maloof will be photographing your pet. Later that week, download a hi-res portrait! All for free! Plus, your pet might be featured on Greenpointers.com and Greenpoint Veterinary Hospital’s websites! Free pet treats, too! See you there!

For the disorganized at heart, Instagram is a great way to organize photos as sets. Our cat has the cutest little feet and sits on the radiator, so I tag each shot #radiatorpaws and can view them as a set. Instagram buddies have also been catching their feline roommates on the radiator and doing the same with their photos, so we are building an obscure Brooklyn cat photo library.
You can even create sets with friends. When Jon and I recently visited Florida we gave a unique hashtag #jenjongainesville2012 to each photo and asked friends we visited to use the tag. Tonight, we are heading to a wedding and the bride and groom cleverly have asked all guests to tag photos from their wedding with a unique hash tag. I bet you they will enjoy these photos as much as the professional shots they receive in 3 months.
Instagram just rules! Remember to follow @greenpointers and tag #greenpointers for any Greenpoint related photos you want to appear on Sunday Snaps.
