Now more than ever, you are needed to donate your old blankets, towels, and sheets to your local animal shelter. With financial cut-backs, repairs on shelters are often put off, so if it's drafty, the animals suffer. I know my shelter uses rags to stuff under doors. No kidding! Empty out those closets... this is your chance to get rid of stuff and do something useful!

Adoption Event in NYC, at Pet Health on Upper West Side

I love this pet store. They are an actual community place. Not only with events, but with their commitment to espousing good pet nutrition, as well as their willingness to manage an adoption wall for you to post flyers in their store (read: Olive and Dixie).

This coming Saturday, there will be an adoption event featuring dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies. Here is Eve's Adoption Policy and Application.

DATE: Saturday, January 7, 2012 TIME: 12 Noon to 4 PM
LOCATION:
PetHealthStore, 440 Amsterdam Ave @ 81st Street
New York, New York 10024
212-595-4200 and 888-735-PETS

Museum Day

Was at the Museum of the City of New York the other day. They have some great exhibits right now (Cecil Beaton, Kevin Roche, and the 200th anniversary of the NYC "grid" ). In between exhibit rooms (it's a beautiful example of a Federal styled home) they have lots of little things they rotate. Saw this and thought you'd appreciate it.


A related thought: There has been a great controversy about riding in carriages pulled by horses in NYC nowadays. Four horses have collapsed and died on the street this past year.
Three of those horses died. New York is not a bucolic place where horses should be pulling carts, or anything.


This was a book in the museum's store.

The museum is a cool place, situated directly across from the beautiful Conservatory Gardens in Central Park, a place that will make you forget you are in a large metropolitan area with too much grime. I'm on a tear about the grime lately.
