Yes, that is a pug with a toy hot dog on his head. This past weekend, I took a quick trip down to Washington, DC. I took the Megabus, which I will never do to DC again.

Luckily, the Empty Cages Collective … Continue reading Cat Adoption!
Adventures in New York: First Coney Island Day of the Summer Part II
More goofing around on the boardwalk. I really think that going with such an amazing group of people made our trip to Coney Island so beautiful.
