I have the honor of succeeding our Vallejo mayor Andrea Sorce as a Vice-Chair for United Dems of Southern Solano as of our meeting this past week. Hopefully I can help to make a difference in this way with this local Democratic club. Understandably she’s a little busy with her mayoral duties, so I’m glad that I can step in. She, like so many others, were there for me when the horrible house fire happened last year. She was also on the curb of my house with Slater as it was still aflame to hug me while I awaited the fate of my dogs. I think most of you know, many did not survive. The mattress Shea and I sleep on every night, my home office desk and some of the shelves I have were donated from these great friends and neighbors. I knew she’d be a great mayor when she called me a few years ago and asked what I thought of the idea of her running. Here’s to a brighter future locally even if the chaos is still unfolding in DC for now.
“Auntie Mei! Thank you for paying for me to be groomed out of your own pocket before taking me to my new foster daddies Shea and Joe! They say I smell like a rose!” – Foster dachshund PeeWee in Vallejo is available at Humane Society of the North Bay. He came in with another dog from a family that could no longer take care of them and the other dog has already been adopted.
It was wonderful to see Perrito (Perry) fka Miso thriving in his new home after Shea and I dropped off three senior fosters at Muttville In San Francisco today, which was bittersweet. The house of fosters is a hell of a lot quieter now. Our former foster Perry, who we had earlier this year, is living it up in Twin Peaks. My camera phone really sucked, but part of it was because Perry was so excited to see us after initially barking to protect his new dominion.
Rowing on glass today. You can see from the smokestacks of C&H Sugar factory in Crockett across the Carquinez Strait that there was no wind as they are going straight up.
Shea and I were so glad to participate in an Afternoon High Tea for the Humane Society of the North Bay at the Vallejo Museum in support of cats and kittens at our shelter, which many know I’m on the board of. We were so busy that I barely had time to take any pictures, so I hope there are a lot more to come. It was sold out and a lot of fun.
Starboard rollers give you an idea of how stable these whaleboats are. The tug boat in the distance caused these waves, but we’ve handled far bigger ones without issue. Usually we’re rowing through them so there’s no chance to film it unless I had my GoPro on.
Vallejo Gay Network had a game night, which was a lot of fun. Thanks for hosting Seraphim and Eric! These pictures don’t capture all the crowds in every room and outside that eventually showed up, but it was a big success.
Super volunteers Mei and Adrienne came to visit some of our foster dogs who are going to Muttville next week. Iris, Miller and Lilibet will all be going to San Francisco and will find new homes within a week or so based on their incredible adoption rates.
