The cat I had at one times was not fan of the leash either...

It sure seems that way when we visit L.A.

Well you wouldn't recognize it at all if you visit London!

CONGRATULATIONS to DR PennyO!!!

I wonder if any of the local bakeries qualify as "arts events"?

Hmmmm... worth looking in to, isn't it... Baroque Bassoon Bagel Day; Cantorum Cupcake, Purcell and Poundcake...

Jane, it does bother me that people let their animals run loose. It bothers me even more at the end of the school terms and the students leave, many will throw away their pets. You would be amazed at the number of cats and young dogs we pick up at the library. Sad really...

LOL-I've never been able to train a kitten to walk on a leash, other's do it. I suspect I lost patience long before the time needed to succeed.

Having been there, and failed, I can assure you the cat intuits exactly how you feel about it and reacts accordingly.

If you brook no nonsense and DEMAND the cat's attention, I'm told by those who have succeeded, the cat takes to the leash beautifully.

I've seen a guy and his girlfriend walking a cat down a sidewalk in downtown Oakland. It's QUITE THE SIGHT, let me assure you, and that cat was just as perky and contented to be leashed as any dog I've ever seen.

Do the perks include meeting this gentleman, from the top of their web site?

Er... could be! Most of the artists are VERY willing to give interviews, if it means free ink, so to speak.

Yep. They just showed the footage of their new "mobile security" units - a guard and a dog - walking through the trains at DC's Union Station and Penn Station here in NYC.

I just wonder how they train those security dogs to ignore any "treats"? I'm sure that the passengers are bringing on plenty of potential treats and snacks.

Congratulations to DR George on his new role and to DR PennyO on her new writing gig.

Why, thank you, ma'am! It might be worth a 2-day drive to see George in that part...

DR GEORGE is a replacement Fat Lady. What great news. Of course we must see photos and reviews when they are available.

Of course!

I doubt training the dogs to ignore the treats isn't as difficult as you would think. The dogs get their favorite treats when they find the drugs or whatever-worth holding out for.

And! i got a new gig! Apparently, I'm a staff writer for FineArtsLA... just cranked out an article for the site about the Los Angeles Ballet's upcoming Balanchine program, and got two more assignments! And the perks of such a gig include free tix to pretty much any symphony, ballet, chamber music, recital, major art that I care to partake of! The article goes up this week. If this goes on, I may have to get business cards...

Great news! Congratulations!!
