A loud round of applause. “And tonight’s special guest: Britney!” Another roaring applause. Heard on Leno last night. That wasn’t just a rerun. That must have been a 2004 Turner classic. At 10:30p on all channels it was the same. It’s the only time PM watches the tube. Then and Grey’s Anatomy. This better end quick.
As PM writes this post the thought occurs to me: though the writers have laid down their creative pens, they may not be sitting idly by. Who determines which rerun is shown?
For the record, Pet Monologues supports the creative efforts of the writers and hopes the Writers Guild of America (WGA) wins and the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers does the write thing. If you feel supportive of the writers, visit Dogs for Democrats for more poop.
Ellen DeGeneres’ former dog Iggy, a 5-month-old Affenpinscher mix is returning to the spotlight, shooting a new Public Service Announcement for pet adoption awareness—and appears to be very happy.

The dog first made headlines in October after DeGeneres, with the best of intentions, gave the adopted dog away to her hairdresser. Because the move was against the Mutts and Moms pet adoption agency’s policy, the dog was taken back.
Keith A. Fink, an attorney for Mutts and Moms, says Iggy is now “doing famously very well and in a loving home,”
Fink would not reveal the dog’s whereabouts “for the safety of the adoptive family,” but stressed that Iggy has been placed “with a family that is a loving and takes great care of him.”
Added Fink, “Iggy likes to play with overstuffed animals and has a special preference for a stuffed turtle.”
Editor’s note: more background? Noted, this does not seem to be a happy ending for many people. PM is glad for pet adoption awareness however.

A sequay from art to…endangered. What are the products below made of?
Fish skin! The jacket from salmon and found at the Textile Museum of Canada. The shoes by Puma are from the wolf fish. The bikini by Mio Destino from talapia.
The pros: waterproof, odorless (they are not fish sandwiches but cured hide), interesting patterns. The cons: not elastic like spandex, more like canvas. Yes, they are still animal products. But it does start one thinking about all the other materials available other than animal products.

These photos were purloined from a very good friend Animals as Friends The commentary on this post alone at Animals as Friends is worth the visit.
Are these images real or photoshop?
Veterans Day is November 11 but observed this year on the 12th. Many people, like me, are observing this holiday today and 11/11 is really more appropriate. Holidays, like wedding anniversaries and celebrating the day your are born should be “observed” on THAT day. If your birthday is on a Thursday, we observe your birthday on Thursday and go to your big bash on Friday or Saturday, not the school night. Keep traditions sacred. There are so few in life.
This is a USA holiday. But we all want world peace.
While searching for talent for Caw to art! I visited Saatchi Online where the gallery has frequent week-long competitions called Showdowns. “The deer” brings new meaning to head-to-head.

Which reminds me. A hip asian place in our neighborhood, where everyone dresses in black/white. White tables. White art-free walls, pure, completely empty walls for two years—until two weeks ago. And now look at the walls. WTF.

PM’s next concentrated spurt will be pet-food, or pet-health, or endangered, or rescue, breaking news. Stories would really be nice. to be continued…
