The American Police Motorcyle Museum in Meredith, NH is a great place! Interactive exhibits for kids, plus a 1929 Indian Scout that's great for photo ops!

We go to Foxwoods and Maggie gets a sister!

Sunday April 10 was the annual Foxwoods Casino fundraising bus trip sponsored by the Concord-Merrimack County SPCA. Just like last year, the bus was sold out and everyone had a great time--and some people even won! The result--we raised even more money than last year for the animals. Wahoo!

And speaking of the SPCA, Maggie now has a sister of sorts. Today we adopted Mariah, a 13 year old senior cat who has been at the SPCA waiting for a forever home since December.  Her challenge is that she only has three legs. But I can say that it doesn't stop her from wanting to play and batting around her new catnip toy!




I got Mariah settled on the daybed in the den, where she can hang out with Maggie (who has always considered the daybed her private domain) while I work.  At first, Maggie was confused and a bit forlorn. She seemed to want to say "Excuuuse me!  What is this...another animal?  How depressing!"

But after a few minutes she lifted her head and decided she just might make friends.


You'll notice that Mariah is totally unconcerned that a dog is sharing her bed.

It's been 2 1/2 hours now, and Maggie has moved to floor in front of Mariah...she won't leave her side.  We're hoping this is the beginning of a wonderful friendship!
