Later Kater

Kater has found a new home. A kind-hearted couple want to provide a long-term foster home or forever home for him.

Happy days!

Homeward Bound Dog Rescue: Kater

Caring for animals brings me a lot of joy.
I have stayed in touch with Homeward Bound Dog Rescue, the rescue where from I adopted Bender, and was asked if I would be interested in fostering a homeless dog, Kater.
I picked Kater up last Saturday; he was in rough shape - exhausted, dirty, stitches in a leg, and just neutered. Seemingly neglected by his previous owners, and up there in his years, Kater needed some love and rest asap.

I am so *happy* to report that just since Saturday Kater has been cleaned up, and appears to be regaining his energy and good health. He has been resting, eating, enjoying a walk a day, and even playing a little. He, like Bender, shows remarkable resilience given his past.

Kater is up for adoption through Homeward Bound. He is 10 years old, and an exceptionally sweet and quiet soul. He is housetrained, doesn't bark, and doesn't get into mischief when left alone. He's great with Bender and other dogs, and I'm sure he'd be great with cats and all other creatures. He is a little arthritic, but it does not appear to bother him - he's just slow-moving at times. If you or someone you know have some love and a forever home for this guy, please contact me or HB. He's a gem!

The Sample Room

I have to share this little delight with you all. Hands down, my favorite salad is at The Sample Room in NE Minneapolis.

*Warm Roasted Vegetables over Wilted Spinach – green and yellow beans, grape tomatoes, carrots, rainbow chard, red bell peppers and red onion, with Stickney Hill Goat Cheese and black pepper almonds drizzled with red wine vinaigrette*

The Sample Room is one of my favorite restaurants - for the food & wine & feel of the place - I am an even bigger fan because they support local farmers and artisanal producers. So thankful that this is a favorite place of some of my friends too - so I'm not always the one suggesting we eat here.

The Pet Project

Last night I attended the Beats + Barks benefit concert for The Pet Project.
Good people + good music + good cause = very good times.

Twin Cities-based band Goodday Montag organized a benefit show for a terrific local organization called The Pet Project.

***The Pet Project helps people keep their pets by providing pet food and basic supplies to those who are struggling. The Pet Project also provides connections to basic veterinary care and information on finding pet-friendly housing.***
