Ziggy (AKA @pugkeepsie) is a 6 year old pug living his best life in PK. Some of Ziggy’s favorite activities include licking everything on the ground at First Friday, getting pets from strangers on Main Street, and absolutely losing his mind with excitement when he meets other dogs on the walkway. Studies show that looking at his ridiculous smushed face increases happiness by approximately 67%. Wow.

I took this photo on a crisp, cool spring morning around 9am as I was walking down Mill Street to the waterfront. I noticed this black cat intensely observing the world, and the color contrasts between the red door and green brick, with this cat in the window, really struck me. Nothing more interesting than that. I call it “Mill Street, 9am.”
