The South Pas Rotary is at it again!!!

Well folks, the South Pasadena Rotary Club was at it again last Thursday night...it was their annual pet clinic! Dogs and their humans came in droves to get caught up on the dog's vaccinations for a reasonable fee. Veterinarian services were donated by Dr. Malcolm S. Jones (Steve), past So Pas Rotarian. Dr. Steve is currently practicing in Fallbrook, CA, www.alvaradovethospital.com.

The event was held in the fire department garage...don't worry So Pas residents, to create this opportunity for the K9 citizenry, the illustrious So Pas Fire Department was ever on alert, driving through the city...

The event was attended by many dogs and their humans...

Some dogs were quite pleased that this event was held especially for them...

And some dogs figured out that there was something going on in there that they might not like...

"A hug is great...but something's fishy here..."

"Yikes!!! Look at those needles!!!"

"Ouch!!!"

Daisy did her part...calming an anxious new friend...

"Hey!!! Who’s this guy...and what's he doing with all those needles???"

"Whew!!! Not so bad...Now what???"

"Huh? I thought I was going on a play date..."

Some got bored while waiting for their humans to finish all that paper work..."what's that about anyway? Can't a dog just be a dog???"

This senior canine had encountered this many times before and was not happy about it...

"It's over...and life is good again!!!"

(Don't you just love this ol' senior's wise face?)

"Mom...can we go now??? Huh? Can we? Please, can we???"

Some thought this was the K9 beauty pageant...

Some just wanted to get going..."there are things to do and people and canines to see out there!!!"

Some needed extra hugs...

"Hey mom! What's the hold up? Let's get out of here!!!"

"Aren't I just as cute as a button?"

Ok...so after the clinic, everybody was pretty hungry...

And thirsty...

Yummmm!!!

Thanks to all who made this annual pet clinic a success!!!

And thanks to all the canines who allow us to be graced by their presence in our lives...

It's a Retro Spring...

I've been feeling a bit under the weather this past week and have not done any photography to speak of...sooooo...I was thinking of what I had in my archives that would make me smile and feel better...Here are some shots from a spring day a couple of years ago, at our fabulous Descanso Gardens...

Ahhhh...I'm feeling better already!!!

Hope y'all are well and enjoying the beginnings of Spring!!!

A Tale of the Easter Duckling...

Once upon a time, in the land of the Hubman and the Chieftess, lived a sweet little duckling who wanted to be an Easter Bunny.

According to legend, the land of the Hubman and the Chieftess became a wondrous palace full of spring color and flowers....

and bunnies...

there were little bunnies...

and big bunnies...

boy and girl bunnies...

and bunny families...

There was even a pretty green glass bunny filled with wondrous treasures of dark chocolate...

The little Easter Duckling wanted so badly to be part of the spring and Easter family festivities that she finally ventured out into the vast wilderness of the Hubman and the Chieftess' backyard...

She asked Cleo if she could be part of the Easter family, and Cleo thought about it...

Then she asked Sadie...but she was afraid because she'd heard of how Sadie can turn into Osama bin Kat...

Maybe Daisy would help her become part of the Easter family...

Ouch!!!

Take it easy Daisy!!!

"All I want is to be part of the Easter family!"...said the little Easter Duckling...

Whew!!! The Chieftess rescued the little Easter Duckling and gave her a much needed bath...

After her bath, the Chieftess took the Easter Duckling back out to the wondrous backyard of the Hubman and the Chieftess. The Chieftess carefully set the Easter Duckling next to St. Francis who watches over all the animals in the wondrous backyard. St. Francis told the little Easter Duckling not to worry...as she was already part of the Easter family in the land of the Hubman and the Chieftess...

And so the Easter Duckling lived happily ever after in the land of

the Hubman and the Chieftess.

The End...
