Three and a half years in NYC and I finally got my boat ride in Central Park. Adam did all the rowing. I tried rowing, but I couldn’t make the boat move hardly at all. And certainly not in a forwardly direction. Adam, however, did great.
And while he was rowing, I kept an eye out for sea monsters. I spotted one, too!
Ok, it wasn’t a sea monster, it was another boat. We were so focused on taking a picture of ourselves that we forgot to pay attention to where we were drifting, and right as the camera snapped was when I realized we were bow-to-stern with a boat-full of tourists and that’s why my face looks like that.
Bethesda Fountain. My favorite place in all of NYC.

Mabel spent ten years in the same Virginia puppymill Theo came from. She, Theo, and more than two hundred other small breed dogs ranging from Jack Russel Terriers to Westies to Chihuahuas, were rescued in the fall of 2007 thanks to effort from Best Friends and Pets Alive. When she was rescued, Mabel was pregnant with what could have easily been her nineteenth litter. It was clear she was due any day, her belly was quite swollen and she was obviously uncomfortable. The veterinarians taking care of her were nervous about this birth because Mabel was well past her prime years. They waited two days and then they gave her a C-section. Her vets had had every right to worry. It turned out she had only been pregnant with one pup, and by his size they could tell he was weeks over due. And many more weeks dead.
