What kind of society do we live in? How can someone tie a dog to a tree, douse it with gasoline and then light it on fire? I was so disgusted after hearing about this story that I had to post something. http://www.newsday.com/news/local/longisland/ny-lidog0718,0,1023421.story After a very brave fight Maximus, the pit bull mix has died! There is now a reward available for the arrest of the person(s) involved. Maximus can now rest in peace and be without pain… My thoughts are with him. Read more »

“Just a Dog”
From time to time, people tell me, “lighten up, it’s just a dog,” or, “that’s a lot of money for just a dog.” They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for “just a dog.” Some of my proudest moments have come about with “just a dog.” Many hours have passed and my only company was “just a dog,” but I did not once feel slighted.

Where did you eat ?” “It was a place called ‘at home,’” I explained. “Grandma [...] Read more »
Tree Vault Project
It took some time to complete but I think it came out pretty nice. If you live in NYC you probably know what a tree vault is. Basically it is the piece of land between the curb and your sidewalk that the city usually plants a tree in. Well many years ago the tree that was there forever died and was taken down. The city never replaced the tree so I took it upon myself to do it with many different trees that could not stand up to the harsh winters and the salt the city throws on the streets.

Sunbathing?
Er’ summer is not here yet! But don’t try to tell that to my cat! She decided that a cereal box on a hot sunny deck is enough to make it feel like summer. She didn’t even mind the fact that the night before the raccoons had tossed the recyclables from the bin all over the place. Read more »
