Return to Dogville!

We brought Rufus back to the dog park on Saturday! I was hoping he’d be more at ease with the other breeds. He wasn’t. He still prefers to stand with us or walk over to other people and get affection. The only dogs he showed any sustained interest (more than 3 seconds) in was a Great Dane and . . . Mini-Me!

Oh, well. Enjoy the pix! (Here’s last week’s visit.)

A Very Special Episode of House

It doesn’t give his name (medical privacy) and all, but there’s a great article in the NYTimes Magazine this weekend about Nathanael Sandstrom, the guy I asked you to donate platelets for. I use “great” because it’s all about how his doctors finally figured out what he was suffering from and started him on the road to recovery!

The story really comes off like an episode of House, except without the mean-spirited doc at the center of it. Oh, and no Omar Epps, either. Still, give it a read!
