Surely, by now, you must realize that I love my reputation as the life of the party.  Not that I’d put a frickin’ lampshade on my head like a gavone. On the contrary, I enjoy rubbing elbows with the intelligentsia.  Little known fact:  Some of these eggheads are great dancers.

My point is that as nice as people can be, there’s nothing quite like the unshakable loyalty of a dog. Cats are lovely too, but you can’t feed them bracciole.  Madonne!!  Now I love my famiglia more than anything.  Just like a lioness (but with better hair), I’d kill for my kids.  And girls, you can look at my husband all you want, but hands off, putana!!! Having said that, I don’t know what I would do without my 2 beautiful dogs—My gorgeous collie Farrah and my handsome labradoodle Bongiovi!!   Bongiovi doesn’t shed.  Farrah, on the other hand, leaves a trail of her lustrous fur all over the house.  She’s worth every second I spend dust mopping my marble floors. She’s the reason there’s the plastic covering on my sofa.  By the way, if anyone needs a good upholsterer, my cousin Frankie is a frickin’ artisan…But I digress.  I love my dogs.

WDHA’s 2^nd Annual Rock ‘N Ruff Adoption Day & Pet Supply Drive is this Saturday, June 2, 12-3PM.  It’s the social event of the season!! Please join us at WDHA, 55 Horsehill Road in Cedar Knolls.  Maybe you can bring some much needed pet supplies for our friends from the area animal shelters. Or this could be your lucky day….You could meet your new best furry friend!  As WDHA’s Terrie Carr says, “Forever homes for everyone.  Opt to adopt.” 

Pets bring joy to our lives.  And isn’t that what life is about?? La dolce vita!!

We hope to see you this Saturday!

Grazie,
