Meditation Station

I want to start a meditation practice, but can't seem to get it going, so last Thursday I attended a meditation instruction at the Berkeley Buddhist Priory in Albany, CA. It's a start.

Lacto-Fermented Veggies

Just canned my 2nd batch of lacto-fermented veggies. Aren't they lovely! Just red and white cabbage, beets, and sea salt. For recipes and information on the health benefits of lacto-fermented veggies, check out "Wild Fermentation" by Sandor Katz and "Nourishing Traditions" by Sally Fallon.

Bambi's 4th Birthday!

Today is Bambi's 4th birthday. She is celebrating by having a pupcake (with a kibble on top) and sunning in the backyard. Also, on my way back from visiting Kris and Dex in SF, I stopped at "Cheeko B Pet Boutique" and picked up a Happy Birthday cookie.

Berkeley Flats Chihuahua

I was completely flabbergasted when I heard about this movie, "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" (3-Oct release). I'm hoping the same thing that happened with "101 Dalmatians" doesn't happen when this movie comes out. I am the caregiver to a Chihuahua and they are high maintenance dogs - especially the very small ones. If you want a Chihuahua, or any dog (cat, rabbit, horse, etc.) for that matter, please adopt and go to petfinder.com. Petfinder is where I found my Chihuahua, Bambi, over 4 years ago. You simply enter in the desired breed, sex, age, and your zip code and it lists all the animals that fit your criteria in local animal shelters. Or simply go to your local rescue website.
Remember, don't buy - adopt!
