Thursday (Dec. 10) marked the two-year anniversary of my having adopted my dog, Marty. Taking care of a creature has to be among the best things someone can do to give their life some structure and meaning. I got Marty from a rescue that saves dogs from the red list at the SPCA, so his days were numbered before fate intervened. In a way, we kind of saved each other, which I guess is often the way it feels when you connect with another soul. It was pretty much love at first sight, and even though he chewed up several of my shoes, a tv remote, a hairbrush, 2 toothbrushes, a down pillow and my ACME laptop bag in the early tenure of our relationship, he's never broken my heart. Not yet.
Marty's a boisterous fellow, but also a cuddly sort. Weighing in at about 50 lbs., he's no lap dog, but he often likes to curl up beside me on the sofa. He's got endless energy for running and leaping and playing tug-of-war. Playfully curious about cats and raccoons and squirrels, even though they get alarmed by him. He's a loyal and loving little thing, thoroughly devoted to me, as I am to him. What a good dog.
If you have the emotional and financial wherewithal, I highly recommend adopting a pet. Contact your local shelters and rescue groups. I started my search through petfinder.com.

This new old timey event at The Hammer Musuem on Tuesday, November 10 looks like it will be tremendouns fun. If I go, I just know I won't be able to stop thinking about Grandpa Simpson and Steamboat Willie. Look for me -- I'll be the one giggling sporadically to herself in the middle-to-back section of the autditorium.
