The dog days of the summer of 2009 have slipped into the past. But there are new Dog days in store for Providence, RI. According to a story in the Providence Business News "City gets dog show after century in MASS"
With all the bad news and controversy these days in Rhode Island it is nice to know that there are somethings going right.
According to Julie Dennehy, a spokeswoman for The Bay Colony Dog Show, “We can’t say enough nice things about the [R I Convention Center] team, as well as the mayor’s office, the & Visitors Bureau,”
Now this is great for Dog Lovers. But what about you Cat Lovers?
How about matching the Dog Lovers and help the state and city out.
Who'd of thunk that pet owners might lead the charge for economic development.
Again Congratulations to all who help bring the Dog show to Providence.

Pay It Forward -- Martin Luther King's Birthday
What good deed did you do today?
Tomorrow is the inaugeration of President Barak Obama and today in memeory of Martin Luther King's Birthday. To honor Dr. King, Obama has asked us all do something (volunteer)for our neighbor, community or others. This reminds me of the 2000 movie, "Pay It Forward," which dealt with the theme of idealism and pragmatism.
After 24 hours and two snow storms, this morning my neighbor came over and help me to shovel out from the 10" on snow. We then went to another neighbor's house occupied by an elderly couple and dug them out. Not earth shattering
So what have you done today?
Today, We are trying to adjust our personal lives to the monesterous changes of the past decade. There is fear and anger out there. Our faith and trust have been severly tested by the greed, arrogance and stupidity we have witnessed over the past decade. But those are things we can not change. Starting today, do a good deed and instead of asking, "what will I get out of it?" tell the beneficiary, Pay IT FORWARD.
Martin Luther King preached a message of love.following the examples of Ghandi and Christ. On this his birthday maybe we can begin to apply his method and start to around things here in Rhode Island, and the world.
