Brown and gold and smiling with tongue
I know I said I was going to have a KNS Guide entry up a week ago but things got a little busy on my end. The good news is that my exams are over (yay!), I’m back at fizfit over at Studio 23, I’ve gotten most of my shit together and life is starting to become a pleasure again.
Regular programming will hopefully become regular. In the meantime, the lovely lady dog you see above is available for adoption. I visited the SSPCA this morning, and she and another beautiful dog (photo below) followed us around, saying hello to the puppies and even some of the cats!
They are both up for adoption. They might not be guard dog material but I’m sure they’ll make great companions. If you’ve been thinking of getting a dog, please please give these two a home. If I could, I’d take them myself. See more photos here.
Most of you know me as a cat person, but the dogs are gradually winning me over. This fella below was the one who scored a great win charming a cat person. But it died of heartworm before anyone managed to adopt him. Shit, I cried for days even if I only met him once. :(
Journalists are not sure if…

Share-a-Gift at MPH
I just wanted to remind everyone that MPH’s Share-A-Gift Tree is up at the store.
For those of you who are not familiar, MPH sets up a Christmas tree in all their retail stores with gift tags for children from welfare homes like Salvation Army. The tag will tell you the name, gender and age of the recipient to help you choose a book for them.
I normally try to pick a teen boy because it’s hard to find books that would engage them, especially if you don’t know too much about YA literature. But all the boys were below ten so I picked the oldest girl and got her my ‘Book of the Year’.
Why yes, I did make a crack about sparkly vampires. ;P
The drawback about this kind of gift-giving is that you have no idea if they enjoyed it or if they are even the reading type. But I do this every year because I consider this my personal social responsibility as a reader.
There’s still a lot of tags on that tree last I looked, so go on over to MPH an get someone a good book!
