Da Urchin, my much beloved offspring, works in the field of animal control & rescue. A restaurant in the northern VA area set up a benefit night through her employer wherein every 10% of the cost of every meal sold on Rescue Evening went to animal rescue funding. WooHoo! And it turned out that Rescue Night was the day after Don’s birthday, so an expedition was in order. Don & Dolores, their good neighbors from across the street, Carly & Dean, Da Urchin, & yours truly all made went out to eat at this really really good south of the border restaurant.
(OK, I’m bad, I‘ve forgotten both the name of the restaurant & Don’s neighbor ).
Presents were given, laugher was shared, & a good time was had by all.
And here’s a thanks to all our furry friends: the dogs who joined us for the hunt, stayed with us to guard our homes & herd our flocks, & yes even came with us into battle; the cats who followed the mice to our grain stores, strayed into our homes after the same vermin & self domesticated themselves into our hearts; and all the other creatures great & small who share the Web of Life with us. May we always treat them well for they remind us that we are not the Web of Life but only a stand in it.
