Happy Thanksgiving
Otto's thankful he didn't have to wear this pumpkin costume very long.
What's AOA thankful for this year? All the interesting people who take the time to comment and send along cool ideas.
Thank you.
Taste testing Rachael Ray Booscotti
Not content to merely take over the human world, Rachael Ray -- and her brand -- recently expanded into the world of dog treats and dog food. The Rachael Ray Nutrish line features "premium" dog food, chewy "Grill Bites," and crunchy "Booscotti" (as in Isaboo, Rachael's dog).
Here's how the Booscotti are described on the RR site:
It's fun to watch my Isaboo start her tail waggin' the minute she sees these treats. I'll bet your dog will go crazy for them, too.
Well, we'll just see about that. We put the Booscotti to the test with Otto, the AOA office dog.
Otto's Summer: ice cream
For Otto's next trick, he'll make this sundae disappear.
Frozen yogurt is one of my favorite treats. I like to tag along with my people when they go to Emack & Bolio's because they buy me a doggie sundae there. (And the last time we were there, the scoops were much bigger.)

Otto's Summer: picnics
Otto likes to have a view while he picnics.
My people like to take me on picnics to Washington Park. Not only are there lots of places there to roll out the blanket, but it's also close enough to Lark Street that they can pick up some food if they're not feeling like packing the basket themselves.
And if you're just looking to eat al fresco, sans blanket, be sure to check out the Capital Region Outdoor Dining Map.

Otto's Summer: baseball
Otto is looking forward to Bark in the Park at The Joe on August 30.
I like a game of fetch as much as the next dog, but sometimes it's nice to sit back and watch humans chase the ball. And the ValleyCats do have some fun promotions.

Otto's Summer: swimming
Otto only goes swimming with supervision.
In case you haven't noticed, I'm wearing a fur coat pretty much all the time. So when it gets really hot, I like to take a dip in the pool. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of choices when it comes to pool selection. But humans in the Capital Region certainly do.

Otto's Summer: grilling
Otto enjoys the convenience of propane.
One of my favorite things to do during the summer is grill. I'm a big fan of the frankfurters from the Troy Pork Store (I can't bear to call them "hot dogs" -- too weird). And when I don't feel like a burger or 'furter, I like to mix things up with some locally-made chicken sausage.

AOA Memo
We're not sure napping was in the job description
MEMO
To: all AOA editors, contributors, participants
Re: new office dog
His name is Otto. He's a collie. He enjoys chewing, napping and chasing people as if they were sheep.
His current project is making sure to take care of business outside. Otto will report directly to the editors.
Please welcome him aboard.
