Dear Jan, I am honored that a rescue dog has been named after me.  Thank you.

The New York shelters will not resume euthanasia until Jan. 2, but I noticed on yesterday's adoption lists ( http://www.nycacc.org/adopt/adoption-search ) that the number of dogs in the Manhattan shelter has swelled from 3 pages (9 dogs) on Dec. 22 to six, and that a lot are old dogs. I guess the stories of people dumping their older dogs for pups has more truth than I hoped.  Even sadder, this is the list of animals the ACC has determined as good for adoption.  There's still the unseen list of sick animals and animals judged to be unadoptable.

Animals are not cars, people!

I dont have time, but if i did i would adopt older dogs and/or cats.

Christmas is whatever works for you.  Glad I'm not the only one.

Amen.

The sciatica has lessened a great deal, so I plan on taking a nice long walk today.

Yay! May it never return.

I haven't seen Foxfire and it rather surprised me that they were still doing three-strip Technicolor in 1954 (when it was shot).

It will be strange to see SCROOGE after Christmas, but I guess I have watched my own version before in July.

The cold is finally showing positive signs of moving its ass. The congestion no longer feels like a block of concrete between my ears, and the chills and throbbing pain in my joints, eyeballs, and teeth have moved on.  I feel much better this morning, so I hope this is pretty much over.

Great news, Larry!!

I had to pay some bills. That's done now. I woke at 4 am and couldn't go back to sleep, so a nap may be in my future.

Thank you, DR Jeanne!  We’ve had a very lazy day, which is just what the doctor ordered.

I came right back to the Valley and picked up one package and some mail, then came right home.  Now listening to music and I don't care who knows it.

It was strange taking a walk after dinner at the hotel inside the airport.  Keith wanted some ice cream.  When we finally found a flower shop that sold ice cream bars it dawned on us that we did not have any Canadian money and it was too small of a purchase to charge ;D

I would imagine that most places would take your $US money.

Three year-old Pablo was abandoned "Too many pets" by a heartless owner who owned his parents and had owned Pablo since he was born.  Pablo had not known any other home, and he was a sweet dog, easily frightened, who was terrified of being abandoned in the hell that is the NYC ACC system.  The poor dog was so terrified that he wet the floor as soon as his owner walked out, and three days later he was on the euthanasia list for "behavioral problems": he cried, he withdrew, he would not come out of his shell or show signs of being able to do so.  I was convinced he was dead meat, and at the last minute a sympathetic adoption saved his life.  I was so happy, and thought no more about it.  Today the rescue agency posted these shots of Pablo leaving the shelter and in his new home.  Some days I do believe in God.  Or something.
