Kiara's tale



--photos by Elaine A. Russell

Things the past couple of days have been a blur. Not so much because there is a ton of things going on.. but more because I feel as if I am in time warp of sorts.
Walking the dog, doing dishes, cooking, running errands, visiting with people... all normal events -- somehow becoming a bit contorted with this whole sense of deja vu.

I am trying to find a new home for my neighbor's dog. The dog is a gorgeous 2yr old female Sheltie. She is smart, adorable, potty trained.. and starved for attention. When she is bored.. she barks. Which is alot of the time.. so needless to say, alot of the neighbors will be glad when she finds a new home. She is a wonderful baby. She just needs something to do and someone to be a companion to. Like alot of dogs ( and people too ) she finds meaning in having a task that she is responsible for... and right now, she doesn't have one. So far, I have found 3 potential homes for her... so we'll see how this goes. I would gladly keep her myself, but I think that Sabrina would not be happy with me. Her name is Kiara.

And so they day goes on. The weather has been interesting. I have never seen a summer in Potter County this mild. It has rained every day since I have been here. Then the sun will come out near sundown, and it will be gorgeous out. Sabrina is happily playing in the grass.. although she has had a bath 2 nights in a row because she rolls in bear scat. Silly girl.

A neighbor is playing "America" .. specifically "Sister Golden Hair" on his stereo... while he tends to his garden. Children scream up the street at the local baseball field. ... ducks are honking in the creek behind the house.... these are the sounds of Coudersport PA.

**If you are in Albuquerque.. don't forget to go to the Re-Animation Show at the Factory on 5th tonight from 7-11pm. There will be about 20 or so artists, a fashion show, movies and more !!! Kristin will have both her and my artwork out. Plus there is a very cool Zombie themed bunch of art entries for you to vote "best of show" on !
