A Farnival Update

Hi y’all. Sorry about the slow content. but I warned you: when I’m working with the NHRA, it tends to absorb my entire life. And it doesn’t help that I love drag racing either.

But there’s also another reason I’ve also been slow at posting; I’ve been writing a book review for a literary magazine! If that’s sounds terrifying to you, believe me, it intimidates the poop out of me, so I’ve been working my butt off on it.

The book I’m reviewing, A Tabby-Cats Tale, is a hilarious novella about a cat living in Nanjing, China with some very eccentric habits, but underneath all the laughter is a fascinating commentary about communicating outside the conventions of language. An author by the name of Han Dong wrote it, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Anyway…I appreciate your patience. I promise in a month things will be back to normal. Over the next four weeks, the NHRA will be racing in Charlotte, Dallas, St. Louis, and Reading, PA. Mace and I will be stopping at the Farnival to love on our pack for a few days in between each city, but we won’t be around much.

Luckily, I get to take Meadow and Adriana to both Charlotte and St. Louis, leaving the three older pack members to watch over the Farnival while they learn Spanish from their kick-ass bilingual sitter, Lino Chavez. Our foster dog, Mellie, will be staying with another ICHBA foster family – Thanks, Miss Judy.

Here’s Meadow shaking off after getting a bath for her big trip to the racetrack in North Carolina this weekend:

 
 

Don’t forget: ICHBA’s 5K Walk/Run is this Saturday in Springfield, TN
