Alexis is quite shy, and does not like crowds. That's why I not only took this picture, but remarked about the event on Twitter. Yesterday we took Preston, our foster puppy, to the MSPCA for Pit Bull Awareness Month. The rescue network that Preston is from was there, and they also brought Happy, (who I absolutely loved) and the director's amazing therapy dog Rosie. Another pit bull rescue org, Braveheart rescue was there as well.

The main event was a screening of Beyond the Myth, a documentary about the negative consequences of recent anti-pit bull laws in the US. There are some unbelievably heartbreaking and infuriating stories in it, especially from the city of Denver. (I visited Denver in 1992 and thought it was a very cool and vibrant city. Since they have passed their anti-pit bull law, which has led to authorities going door to door to seize family pets and put them to death for no reason, I WILL NEVER GO TO DENVER until the law is repealed).

Anyway, Alexis is surrounded by people in that first picture because she is showing off Preston to the crowd that is there to see the movie. Here's Preston being robbed of his already small amount of dignity:


Since we were there for a few hours, I couldn't help but notice this party announcement:

Those radiology technicians know how to get down! I feel inadequate, since I don't even celebrate Darwin's birthday.
