Merry Pop-ins

I love it when friends visit, and I love the theater, so it was a double treat when Gavin Lee and Emily Harvey stopped by. They’re currently starring on Broadway in “Mary Poppins", but the production is about to go on the road. A few years ago, Gavin and Emily adopted two cats from us, Henry and Winnie, and lucky cats they are! The four of them are a very happy family. We wish them the best as they head out across the country.

We're Getting Ready for Spring!

Playing “Mindgame(s)”

It’s been a little while since I last made it to the theater, but there’s a new show in town that I’m definitely going to see. The play is a thriller called “Mindgame” and it stars the Oscar-winning Keith Carradine.

Here’s a quick synopsis: A reporter thinks he’s landed the interview of his career with an infamous, insane criminal, but after arriving at the asylum, his plans quickly go awry as he discovers things aren’t what they seem. I love a good mystery, and this play promises to keep the audience in suspense right through the final scene.

The performance on Tuesday, December 23 has a special significance to my friends at the Humane Society of New York. On that night, a portion of each ticket purchased will be donated to fund the care we provide to the animals in our shelter and hospital.

An animal lover himself, Mr. Carradine chose to drive 36 hours rather than fly from California because he wanted to make the journey as comfortable as possible for his two elderly cats. So if Mr. Carradine can handle the drive from California, it shouldn’t be too hard for the rest of us animal/thriller-lovers to get to the Soho Playhouse, 15 Vandam Street, at 8:00 pm on Tuesday, December 23.

See you there!

Visiting...

I LOVE the summer when my friends come to help me with my paperwork. :-)

Always FUN when they visit. They are SO helpful!

What you need to know before you go to the groomer

You wouldn’t think it, but a visit to the groomer can be a life or death experience for a dog. Recently, a wonderful yellow lab and good friend of ours at the Humane Society of New York died when he was left unattended in a cage dryer. Pleased watch this clip before you take your dog to be groomed. I’m very concerned about this. You need to protect your dog.

A Poolside Plea

My friend Henry gets to use the pool more than I do. I’m wondering why?

*Just so you know, Henry is playing in the Humane Society of New York's rooftop dog pool. Nice, huh?
