Today on the North Fork:

From my notebook:

  • The North Fork Animal Welfare League: "Look at this handsome man! Tokyo is a 4-year old American Staffy. He came to us from Georgia just yesterday. After spending some time with him I learned that he knows sit, takes treats nice and gently, and will give all the kisses!" (The North Fork Animal Welfare League via Facebook)
