Happy Earth Day! And Happy Birthday to Rob!

Goblin and I celebrated by taking a leisurely stroll down E. 88th Street to Carl Schurz park. Squirrels were chased, although even Goblin knew she had no hope of approaching them wearing her full-body leg brace.

On the way home, we were approached by two old women wearing official PETA badges. They eyed the Borg harness suspiciously. “Get me out of this thing!” Goblin pleaded. "It's not ethical!" I explained that my dog had had a leg operation and needed to be in that contraption until it fullly healed. While I was talking to one of them, Goblin bit the other one.

“Why did she bite me!?!” the woman said in the incredulous tones of DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM!

“I don’t know,” I said, wondering if we were going to get reported to AETP. “Maybe she doesn’t like you.”

“Hmph. How old is she? She looks old.”

“She’ll be eight this year.”

“Hmph. That’s not old,” she pronounced, and both of the PETA ladies walked away.
