Do you have a dog? Â Do you have a camera? Â Do you have an email account? Â Great. Â Please email me of said dog a photo at FridayPuppy@gmail.com.
Please be sure to include the name of your dog and your hometown, otherwise I will have to make something up like the dog from Billings, Montana. Â (that was Christy’s idea.)
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and please comment/vote below for the Friday Puppy you think is cutest! Â Voting ends next Friday. Â Vote as many times as you want. Â I seriously don’t give a crap anymore.
The winner will win a $25 Gift Certificate to either Bombers Burrito Bar, Wolff’s Biergarten, The Olde English Pub, Arthur Treachers, or the new restaurant we’re opening in the former Miss Albany Diner.

Matt. I truly believe your statement, “Vote as many times as you want. I seriously don’t give a crap anymore.” I always have liked reading your blog. But lately it is become a bunch of ads for your restaurants and some lame, almost incoherent ramblings about fashion, that I personally don’t understand or frankly care about. Craig is just about the only one who posts things worth reading, but he doesn’t post very often. I don’t want to be mean. I know you are very busy with your restaurants and other commitments. You don’t have time for this blog, so rather then it just becoming a worthless bunch of crap, why don’t you just shut it down? Unless you just see it as a means of advertizing your businesses, then, I guess it is doing what it is supposed to.

@DanCF You’ll be happy to know that as of next week, the blog is getting simplified. The ads pertaining to my restaurants, unfortunately, will continue.

Speaking of your restaurants….I noticed how you casually slipped “the new restaurant we’re opening in the former Miss Albany Diner” in to this post! Is this a cliff hanger or do we get some details? I can’t wait to hear what you are going to do with this wonderful building!

Vote? I thought we weren’t voting any more – just enjoying the pictures. All dogs are winners.

@#1 – If you dislike it that much – delete it from your favorites and shut the F*&% UP… everyone thinks they should have their opinion heard and some people need to not type ( or speak)…
Matt is a great guy with great civil intentions oh and by the way IT IS HIS BLOG…I think that means he do whatever he feels like doing…. ITS CALLED THE 1ST ADMENDMENT…
Sorry bad day and now I feel better..
Keep up the good work Matt,

Matt – you need to ignore idiots like DanCF. He doesn’t speak for the majority of your readers. You write the blog, you promote your business on your blog. It’s not rocket science…..
Anyway back to the dogs. I personally don’t care if I vote or if you pick…I just love seeing the cute little (sometimes big) guys! However, I’m not seeing in this blog where the link is to vote …. or view….or whatever it is we are doing this week. Can you fix?

Ok – obviously my ADHD kicked in and I didn’t scroll down far enough. Now I’m the idiot…..but not as much of one as DanCF!

I do miss the stories about Niko and Frank. I kinda miss the vodka/xanax fueled posts, too.

I agree with “best guess” & “ass swipes among us” . Matt’s gracious response to a snarky post is probably one of the reasons he has 3+ flourishing restaurants. IMO big f**king deal Matt advertises his restaurants on HIS blog (good point “a.s.a.u”)–it’s called being an astute businessman-who, I might add, has given LOT$$$ back to the community. For example, that $5K sign instrumental in garnering a swing vote. And not just the gay community either. Like helping revitalize Schenectady. It’s a long list–thanks Matt for all off it & more. You’ll make good decisions for the blog – Follow your heart.
