title pic PETA’s Dog Park Gets Two Paws Up

PETA’s Bea Arthur Dog Park (named for the eternally fabulous Golden Girl ) has everything that dogs love: a big, grassy lawn for rolling and romping, a bin filled with toys to chew and chase, a water station, and an easy-access ramp into the Elizabeth River for dog-paddling to their hearts’ content! But it’s not just dogs who love PETA’s park—apparently, Southern Living does too: The magazine included the park in its feature on the South’s best dog parks ! Let’s raise the woof in celebration by taking our canine companions to the nearest dog park tonight for some tail-wagging fun! And if you’re ever in Norfolk, Virginia, check out the Bea Arthur Dog Park: I guarantee that if you follow the rules, you and your mutt won’t be disappointed. Posted by Lindsay Pollard-Post

‘Aztec’ seems to be the buzz-word of this point in the season, so here’s a quick tutorial. Slightly more specific than ‘ethnic’, it refers in fashion terms to Mexican-inspired crazy patterning with lots of triangles, diamonds, zig-zag lines and the odd flash of neon. It was trendy in the 80s too, and I still remember with some nostalgia my ‘Aztec swimsuit’ from John Lewis

The guy who delivers the newspaper comes by around 2:30 a.m. Sometimes I’m up and I hear the tossed paper either whack into the gate with a thud and rattle, or sail under it and slide across the smooth concrete entryway with a snake-like hiss. You can get into some pretty deep thinking — not always wacky! — in those wee hours, and the other night was no exception.
