Tomorrow scientists will be testifying before the House Subcommittee on Insular Affairs, Oceans and Wildlife about marine mammals in captivity. Lately there’s been a lot of interest. There was the documentary The Cove, which for me was quite eye-opening. I had never realized how those dolphins came to the parks around the world. I guess…

All you need
All I need in life (other than some tea and food) is in that photo. Toby and books. I was sick today (there are a few bugs going around different circles–I’m hoping this is the 24 hour one) and I spent the day in bed, sleeping, with Toby keeping a watchful eye Keen wandered near…
Play Ball!
+ = WIN After telling @Tribetalk about the PSAs that the Nationals are doing for Washington Humane Society (I was certain my beloved Cleveland Indians would want to join in the fun), I actually got a response back that their tweeter would be passing the story to their communications department. He also included a link…
Cute April Fools
So I’m not a big April Fools person (funny how not liking surprises does that to a person), but I do usually enjoy Google’s take on it. This may be my favorite.http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/landing/translateforanimals/index.html Google Translate for Animals I wonder what Toby was saying this morning.

I went pescatarian…
Setting Myself Up for Success
Shopping for clothes (so I’ll look better and thus be able to help more animals at events, of course, because I need that justification to spend the money) got me thinking about setting up for success. It’s a common phrase when talking about training animals. You want to set your pet up for success. It’s…
For DC readers–lost dog
Thanks to the wonders of Twitter, news is getting around about a lost little sheltie in AU Park/Friendship Heights. Her name is Gigi and she had only come to her new home for three days from the Northern Virginia Sheltie Rescue. She’s young, shy, and runs quickly when she thinks she’s cornered.Her parents are keeping…
Praise
March 6, 10am-noon, Busboys and PoetsMy first event with the RV! Really excited that Kelly trusts me this much! I’ve run small events before. My largest ever was VegFest. VegFest was awesome–all day event, two shifts of volunteers, multiple dogs, two cars broke down on my way there (my car died that day–with a pit…
