This is just gross!

Introducing Miss Truvy

Meet Miss Truvy.  We rescued each other seven years ago from the DC Animal Shelter. When we met she immediately started wagging her tail and licking my hand. It was a great introduction but I wanted to mingle. When I cam back to her, she had just eaten and was curled up in a ball with the sweetest look on her face. In all that madness and noise she was sleeping peacefully. I new then we were meant for each other. My friends always say that she won the puppy lottery that day, but I say we both won. 

Truvy has won the gold ribbon at the DC Pride of Pets twice for Most Mysterious Heritage. When people ask what kind of dog she is I always answer, "The Best Kind." Truvy is full of energy, tons of personality and always makes eye contact - like she's trying to bend me to her will. It's very effective. She loves to cuddle and is pictured here comforting my sick nephew.  

Truvy is an alfa. In fact, she's an alfa among alfas. My last bf had a beautiful yellow lab who was also an alpha and Truvy, all 20 pounds of her, would totally control 70 pound Quincy. She would chase her, take the tennis ball out of her mouth, play tug-of-war until Quincy gave up and every few days would climb up on Quincy's back and start humping her. We knew that Truvy was showing Quincy her dominance but we used to joke that Quincy was thinking, "Ahh, just a little more to the left."

And if you were thinking, Truvy, where do I know that name from, yes, she was named for Dolly Parton in Steel Magnolias.

Truvy on me, "Daddy, take me for a walk now."

After a first year of hardships and abuse, Truvy has mastered a life of love, comfort and security.

Call to Arms

If the reports hold true and we loose Prop 8 then the time to take to the streets is now before the court hands down its decision, not after. We need to show them our strength, determination and numbers when it will do some good. We need to be proactive not reactive.

Face to Face

I loved and still love the 80's group Face to Face. It killed me when my cassettes died and I was unable to replace them but thanks to eBay I was to get all three of their CD's and thanks to YouTube I was able to revisit two of their videos. Both are from their first album - Face to Face. Their music is way better than their hair. Their second album Confrontation and doesn't hold up as well as the first but their final album, One Big Day, which marked a change in their sound from punkish to sorta acoustic is great.

Their music is heavy on the melodies, think Go Go's, but it's their lyrics that really hold your attention and draw you in and it' s the beat that moves your feet. A mix of love, hate and politics with just a dash of spiritual. Enjoy!! 

Spring Forward and Change Those Batteries

Smoke detectors are one of those amazing inventions that, because of mass production, cost practically nothing. You can get a smoke detector for as little as $7. And while they cost very little, smoke detectors save thousands of lives each year.
