Putting the Canine in Christmas →
Ok everybody, back to bassets briefly. With the holidays right around the corner, there is no better time of year to think of our four-legged friends than now, especially because SO many dogs are unwisely given as Xmas presents, only to be dumped later by their irresponsible owners after the “cute” wears off or if they even present a slight challenge.

While the surface rationale is that he’s just testing new technlog and having a laugh, I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before she winds up in a Siberian Gulag.

Mission Indie Mart and Rocket Dog
This past Sunday, I got up the guff to get down to Thee Parkside in Potrero Hill for some good ol’ fashioned independent design and music. And drinks. And dogs. Representin’ the four-legged mod crowd was Rocket Dog Rescue, a Bay Area volunteer group saving dogs from SF shelters and giving them what every dog wants—a forever home. This was only a small part of Indie Mart but it...
