Taking care of Sarah in recent months often required multitasking. One time, I tried to leave Adelaide inside our front door while I let Sarah pee in front of the house. You can see here why I only tried that once.

You amateur veterinary theologians had better be correct about where dogs go. Sarah earned an eternity of unfettered couch access, ear scratches, gentle pats and easy-to-catch, plump squirrels.
She was a gentle soul who gave us nothing but kindness and comfort. I miss her, but I’m happy when I think of her and grateful to have had her by my side for 12 years.

Confronted with hardships few (if any) of us can imagine, the women in this video went to heroic lengths to save their own lives and the lives of their children.
There are plenty of videos, pictures and stories depicting the women in Dadaab as victims. I’m proud to have contributed to a video acknowledging their strength and courage.
My colleague, friend and toddler haberdasher Kate Crosby created the video with photos taken by Evelyn Hockstein. Niki Clark interviewed the women. I wrote the narration based on Niki’s notes.

Sad news about Pimp C
If Newt calling Barack Obama the food stamp president sounds like race-baiting to you, that’s because it’s supposed to. On January 6, Newt told a townhall meeting in New Hampshire “the African-American community should demand paychecks and not be satisfied with food stamps.” To the best of my knowledge, Newt has never asked non-blacks to denounce food assistance programs.

In November, Newt said Occupy Wall Street protesters should “take a bath.” Today, he’s repeating their core argument.
The South Carolina primary on Saturday, January 21 (Democracy on a day most working people have off? How civilized!) could be Newt’s last stand. Newt keeps arguing that he’s a real Reagan Conservative (in South Carolina, this is a good thing) and that front-runner Romney is a moderate who supports women’s reproductive rights (in South Carolina, this is a bad thing).
