A Slice of Summer

A little peek into the goings-on at the Rescue Barn this summer. 
Three of the pups are mixed-breed dogs who were found emaciated and sickly, but are now bouncing back. The husky-x pup – ‘Chessa’ – came from a breeder who has asked for help with placement and spay/neuter for Chessa’s parent dogs. Adult pit bulls Snorkles and Mila make an appearance, as well as mentor dogs Eddie (pit bull) and Elliot and Billie (husky/shepherd mixes). Finally, in the last slide, is the tiny ‘Lily,’ who is new to our program. All photo credits go to Kathy Kinnear.
Enjoy.

Laura Testino & Rita June

Image
Who is in the photo at right? This is Rita June and I! I’m Laura Testino, a life and culture reporting fellow at NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune. It is ridiculous that my job exists, because it requires that I write about some of the most interesting and entertaining people and places in New Orleans, coincidentally one of the most interesting and entertaining cities in the world. Rita and I are both from the South; her from Alabama and myself from Georgia, but I adopted her a couple of years ago when I was living in New York City. She’s a spunky and energetic cattle dog mix, but gets along great in the city. The best guess for her age is around 5 (she celebrates her birthday in October), but most people who meet her think she is much younger. What's the occasion for Coffee with a Canine? Rita loves walking to this library in our neighborhood. It used to be an old home (once the residence of film star Marguerite Clark!), so it has a large and hilly lawn with several pockets for her...

57 (2019-2020): Review: SUMMER SHORTS: SERIES B (seen August 17, 2019)

Image
"Coming up Shorts"      Series B, the 95-minute program of one-acts that alternates with Series A in the 13th annual Summer Shorts Festival of New American Plays at 59E59 Theaters, is an improvement over its series partner, reviewed here yesterday. Just a small improvement, but one takes one’s pleasures where one finds them. And, like Series A, it's a single gem, coming at the end, that makes the trip to 59th Street worthwhile. (See Series A for design credits.) Blake DeLong, Christine Spang. All photos: Carol Rosegg. It kicks off with “Lucky,” by the highly reputed Sharr White (The True, The Other Place), a two-hander that reads much better than it plays in this production, tediously directed by J.J. Kandel, artistic director of the festival's producer, Throughline Artists. Set in a motel on the outskirts of a small American town in 1949, it dramatizes the reunion of a long absent, depressed, World War II veteran, Phil (Blake DeLong), and his wife, Meredith ...

Is San Francisco ready to end its Breed Specific Discrimination?

Image
Jonny made new friends in SF city gov’t after his meeting but as of December 2016, there has been no indication that SF wants to end its discriminatory policy and language towards blocky dogs. SF Dog celeb Jonny Justice has an important meeting  with San Francisco Board of Supervisors President London Breed on Tuesday, March 15. He’s going with his adopter Cris Cohen and while he’s there, he hopes to explain how SF’s current designation of �pit bulls� as a special � problem � dog has been stigmatizing both the dogs and their owners and contributing to a homeless pets problem in SF and other cities.  Photo right: Mark Rogers Breed specific mandates endorse discrimination and profiling of all kinds, including and especially breed bans by landlords and insurance companies. Cris experienced San Francisco’s BSL first hand  when he was out walking Jonny’s sister dog Lily. He told us that, two blocks from their home in the Sunset district, “a uniformed ACO in a white Chev...
