A lengthy read but WELL WORTH the time. Please read and pass along--in all venues.

The modern police force was initiated as a slave patrol, to protect and serve only the wealthy, white class. If ever there were a case for starting over…

SORRY--Miss Molly's Doggie Daycare and Boutique closed. Simon Legree effectively put us out of busines when we were evicted ("no reason given, and, oh, by the way we're not going to give you a reason") after 8 years of being a good tennant and getting along with all our neighbors. I was just too tired (and broke) to try to find another location. A year later, we sold the Pet Taxi and the folks who bought it, totalled it a month later. A small pack of the daycare regulars go to the dog park twice a week (when the weather cooperates) and we still occasionally host dogs in our home--but (generally) only those folks who have been long-time friends.
Miss Molly's Boutique is now located in the Ashland Artisan's Emporium at 1670 Ashland Street (near the movie theatre) and there's lots of fun loot there for you & your four-legged family.
Thank you for your interest.

Sounds delicious AND they are egg-less, dairy-less, flour-less, and with no added sugar!

Good point.

Worth sharing for anyone with a dog.

There is an entire day during a festival in Nepal dedicated solely to thanking dogs for their loyalty and friendship. The time itself…

I talk to my dog. I am not embarrassed to admit that I do it frequently.

Based on recent island developments, I thought a sit-down face-to-face with Coop, my 100 lb. black lab, was in order. I faced the difficult task of explaining to him that it is a civil infraction for a dog to swim on Bainbridge Island. He and I both know when I throw a stick for him to retrieve he is not sufficiently near me to be under my direct control nor obedient to my commands (BIMC §6.04.030 and §6.04.010(8)). He can’t be. I have a better arm than that and he’s focused on the stick and nothing but the stick so help me lab. Therefore, I am in violation of law and subject to a fine.

He looked at me with his 360 degrees of salt water eyes and seemed to say, "You’re kidding, right?" I said, "Nope." As we talked, Coop took a break to chase a squirrel through the woods. I thought I heard the squirrel laugh over the prospect of any dog catching a wild critter on this island. The squirrel seemed to be saying those who think differently need to get out more.

Then I showed Coop the plastic pool I had purchased for his beloved swimming within the municipal code. He looked at me and seemed to ask, "What is this, Capitol Hill or something?" I said, "Nope, you’re not that lucky, Coop. Capitol Hill dogs can swim off-leash at a 9-acre waterfront area in Magnuson Park." I explained to him that, notwithstanding the fact Bainbridge is surrounded by salt water, he was unfortunately resigned by legislation to live in water-dog East Berlin.

He asked me what had happened. I explained that I thought many people had moved here thinking this island is better than other environments. Coop said, "So, what’s wrong with that?" I told him, "Nothing." I had done the same thing nearly 40 years ago. But I explained to him that it appears that when many of these people left their prior locations for Bainbridge, they packed their suitcases and brought all their baggage with them.

I told him I thought sometimes the island legislates and regulates to the loudest voice while leaving common sense at the door. He said, "That’s sad." I said, "Yep." He said he would feel better if he could swim for a stick. So I filled the plastic pool.
