Off The Leash

Happy Holidays

I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving, with lots of pie if you are into that sort of thing. Scott and I had a couple of friends over for a feast and enjoyed preparing our first meal in the new kitchen.

Scott and I attended the International Dog Film Festival at Symphony Space on Saturday night. There were about a dozen short films about all things dog. I enjoyed it and guessed correctly that Scott would love the movie about Tim Triumph, from Alaska, who competed in the Iditorad sled race with a team of "cast-offs".
I now have my new computer and will be launching my New York City Pets blog very soon. I am planning to have much more to say over there about pet issues and will continue writing here about other stuff that not all of NYC really cares about. I'll also be helping Dorian from the Artemis Project with some web stuff to help get those kitties some homes. Dot is still available if anyone is looking for a nice cat.
My XMas tree is out for the season.
We are looking forward to a quick XMas trip to Michigan: three days, one rental car, three-four passengers, many friends and relatives to see. Renting a car from NJ was half the cost of a NYC rental and a quarter of the cost of flying. So roadtrippin we go, with Honey in tow.

I've been busy...

In recent weeks, we moved to a different neighborhood (and borough) of NYC, I broke the laptop, Honey has been given antibiotics for the unpleasantries associated with living in the dirty city, Scott got a new suit (hot), and we've furnished an entire kitchen and bedroom because we need stuff in which to store our crap. In other words, I'm broke and happy in the new pad. I don't mind the fact that there isn't a level surface in the whole apartment and that the bed and chairs roll when they want to because we are going to paint and have a fabulous cook's kitchen by the end of the week!
Stay tuned for my upcoming blog topics:
Manhattan Valley (our UWS neighborhood)
The Frigate laptop: will it make a comeback? Is it headed for the scrapyard?
NY Dog Blog-I'm branching off soon to save you the headache of reading too much about dogs (unless you like that sort of thing!)
The adventures of Honey Bunches of Trouble: now she's been in a plane, train, and automobile!
