Had Adela Ramirez\u2019s puggle Teddy still been alive, she would have been out walking him in the snow. Instead, she was at home, in the art studio of her New York City apartment, watching from a window. \u201cMy view consists of the Empire State Building, which is art deco, the B Altman Building, which is Italian renaissance revival, and the beautiful Church of the Incarnation, which is neo-gothic. I\u2019m originally from Texas, but have lived in New York for 40 years,\u201d Ramirez says. \u201cI always feel privileged when the universe seems to say, \u2018Today I am going to present you with a fabulous snowstorm \u2013 enjoy the performance!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
As Ramirez watched, she noticed that there were no cars or pedestrians; only dog walkers were braving the storm. \u201cPeople were playing chase, carrying them across icy parts, giving them their necessary daily walk. That\u2019s what we do,\u201d she says. \u201cIt made me miss Teddy. He was half beagle, half pug, with an underbite and a princess attitude. He loved the snow, and had a winter coat and boots, but made it clear that he couldn\u2019t be expected to walk in it. He would lift his paws and look me straight in the eye, as if to say, \u2018Mom, please carry me.\u2019 We had to say goodbye to him last spring. He\u2019d been my loyal boy for 10 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom my window, I have witnessed the highs and lows of humanity,\u201d she says. \u201cBut on this day I\u00a0was just so touched by the way people care for their beloved dogs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Had Adela Ramirez\u2019s puggle Teddy still been alive, she would have been out walking him in the snow.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":520510,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[76,354,355,49,48,356,75],"class_list":["post-520509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-design","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=520509"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520509\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/520510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=520509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=520509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=520509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
