TCB I hope you did not read about Shortz. SWW really had me crying.
Dear Jane: It was never my intention to tell a sad story, or to have you cry, so I hope your tears were ones of happiness, if bittersweet.
We have had a very doggy day today. Along with the storytelling here (and der Brucer has not told the story of Rover and his brother Chuck, which I hope he tells tomorrow), we took Mikey the terrier in for his rabies shot today, and got him licenced. In the process, der Brucer met with some ladies from a rescue operation, along with a very nice male of the greyhound variety. The dog races are a vicious way of treating dogs, after they have outlasted their running days, dumping them by the wayside. The dog der Brucer met was wonderfully friendly, as so many of them are, and needing a home. Der Brucer contributed a few bucks to help with feeding these refugees.
Things got more complicated during dinner. We had previously booked ourselves for a wine-tasting dinner at Celsius, a very nice place I've talked about before downtown. Among our dinner companions was a woman from the Delaware Humane Society, who was thrilled to learn that we had rescued all our dogs. The DHS will be hosting a fundraiser in about a month, a dog-walk along the Boardwalk in Rehoboth, encouraging people to adopt pets, particularly the needy dogs that have been discarded by others. Another woman at our table talked about how she and her husband have rescued Great Danes, and a third about the cats she has rescued.
There is so much work to be done, and not all of it is work der Brucer and I can do, although I can tell we're going to be doing as much as we can.
Good vibes to all those who love and protect animals.
