Neil Gaiman's Dog and the Weekend
Anyone else read Neil Gaiman's blog? He is the author of Stardust, Good Omens and Coraline. I have been reading his blog for years and just love him. The other day I read his blog about his dog passing away and it had me in tears. He was a big, White German Shephard named Cabal. It is always hard to lose a pet. I always loved his posts about his dog, especially when he actually rescued him, and I will greatly miss those posts. Poor guy.
This weekend was pretty nice and relaxing. Went to PetSmart to get the dogs booties. They have been having a hard time walking with the snow, ice and salt. Aria starts limping, which is tough for a dog with only 3 legs. Then she stops walking all together and wants to be carried. I feel really bad when I am carrying Aria and then Kaylar starts limping. I can't carry both of them. So we thought booties would be a great idea! Of course, the good ones were like $50 each. Well, there were these cute pink ones on sale for only $8 with little rubber soles. I though they would work.
NOT! They barely stayed on even after a few steps. I also relaized the mistake that they were cloth. They are going to get all wet and cold in the snow. So I am taking them back and will buy the good ones when I need them.
Had a lovely dinner with Zan and Mark in South Philly last night. I never go into the city because driving and parking suck (I am such a spoiled suburban girl) but Zan has been talking about this great Italian restaurant called Marras. The food was delicious, most notably the cannolis for dessert. So good!
