canyon county animal shelter

last week,

when ned & i spent the day in nampa,

we visited the canyon county animal shelter.

{their website & facebook page}

we happened to be there at the very moment

that they won $25,000 

from the aspca rachael ray 100k challenge.

{+$10,000 from the caldwell mayor's office}

this little one-eyed doggie...

his bark was so soft & adorable.

according to their facebook page,

he has found a home.

diamond found a home this week.

roxy found a home this week.

i was so impressed with the

canyon county animal shelter.

we stayed quite awhile.

the staff & volunteers work very hard

to help these animals find homes.

do you want a pet?

please consider adopting luther

or jupiter

see more adoptable dogs here.

this tiny dog really wanted to bite ned.

maybe better for a kid-free home.

see adoptable cats here.

this cat reminded us of rudy.

marian & her friend nancy

fascinating fact: this photo was taken at 7pm.

at 2pm, neither one of them had a dress or shoes!

marian carried my grandma grace's gold mesh evening bag

from the 20's.  perfect for the gatsby theme, no?

this has been mine for as long as i can remember.

i carried it to some of my high school dances.

you know, back in the olden days.

{want one?  i found an exact match here}

nancy's mom & i took the girls out

to merritt's country cafe

for a late night breakfast.

{i got sconed at merritt's earlier this week.}

here's a tip for you...

if you find yourself in a little breakfast joint

late at night, 

with lots of teenagers

and a juke box,

play these two songs.

the waitress will turn them up loud

and everyone will sing along.

yes, even this one...
