Current Events

Nigel: "Because the Huntington river is short, fast and shallow. It forms in the mountains about fifteen miles from here, and ends just a few miles below our house. In the summer it is dog paradise. But spring runoff and autumn rains cause the river to rise quickly, and the currents become violent and powerful. If you happen to get caught up in those currents, you may quickly find yourself washed downstream."

Sola: "And away from you? So far, so good!"

Nigel: "Not so fast. You ever hear of the Huntington Gorge?"

Sola: "Nope, but I love to gorge!"

Nigel: "Not the same thing dufus. The Huntington Gorge is a deadly place, and it is just down river from here. Get caught in one strong current and your goose is cooked."

Nigel: "Very good. Now make sure you don't forget the next time you and Fudgepants decide to make a run for the swimming hole."

Sola: "I promise! But I have to ask one question.Why are you being so informative and helpful? It's not at all like you."

Strange News

The Friday Five will have to wait while more pressing matters are addressed, but I did want to quickly share a sliver of good news that I've neglected to mention.

Remember this fellow?

After weeks spent in a local shelter, and a few days of downtime to recover from a cold, Strange P has gone home. Not here mind you - we could not accommodate him in the long term. But a couple from Stowe, Vermont met him, heard his story and fell in love. He has been residing with them for a couple of weeks now, and I am confident that this is the last I'll hear of him.

I'm ok with that. My heart is happy. Thanks to all who tried to help spread the word, and to Petfinder for making the connection that led to his adoption.

Next week is wordless. I have recent pics I want to share, and I dare not deface them with cartoon balloons.   :)

Happy weekend to all!
