A friend of mine has just bought a puppy, which I recommended she come and look at (I volunteer at my local SPCA) and the wee thing is just gorgeous! A little American pit bull cross, and my friend is just stoked to have this new addition to her home. Makes me very happy to go round and spend time with the wee sweetie.
 

This post would be much improved with a picture of the little bugger IMHO
 
Volunteering at an animal shelter is so rewarding isn't it?

This is the little cutie. Her real name has since been changed and this is her SPCA name.

Oh very much so! It is soooo much fun. From a personal point of view it is very cathartic.

I'm a volunteer at the largest "No Kill" shelter in the Central Valley and my current foster has been with me for two years. I'm more Bark Angel than Human these days.
 
Something made an appearance in the skies above Minnesota this afternoon that is even rarer then a dozen B-17's escorted by as many P-47's, in turn being escorted by flying pigs. Haven't seen it for so long I'd forgotten what it was called,,,,, The SUN!!!!
 
It was actually yesterday but was working out in Chino, looked up and saw a B25 escorted by a p38 flying overhead. As they had presumably just taken off from Planes of Fame at the Chino airport they couldn't have been more than two or three thousand feet altitude. I could make out details on both planes. It was really quite a site to see.
One of the side benefits of working out in Chino as I frequently do.
 
Your experience brought to mind a trip to the AMA Nationals held in Wilmington Ohio in 1980. I was riding shotgun with another club member having crossed into Ohio from the south and saw a speck of an airplane distant coming towards us not very high. My teammate asked what I was looking at and I said it sure looks like a Ju-52 but at this distance I can't tell. Sure enough, as we closed, it was a Ju-52 dressed in German colors and it flew right over us. We learned later from magazines, that It was from the Battle of Britain movie and had been sold to Martin Caiden and we got to see the last leg of the delivery flight.
 
Was working in Yorba Linda today, which is just west of Chino over the hills and saw that same B25 flying low overhead. At least I asume it's the same one. No p38 with it this time but still a beautiful sight.
Pretty lucky, two B25 sightings and one p38 inside a week without even going to an air show.
Think I'll go buy a lottery ticket.
