Meet Dora. When she came into the Seattle Animal Shelter with a lame leg, an x-ray revealed the top of her femur was broken.

Have you ever wanted to give your dog groomer, daycare wrangler or treat-baker a little something more than a tip? Well, how about a shiny trophy presented at a fancy-schmancy dinner?

My step-aunt had an enormous tiger cat named Rhombus. He pounced like a cat and landed like an elephant. If Rhombus was in the running, I know he'd prevail in the Monster Cat category
at the
Average Joe Cat Show this Saturday. But Rhombus hung up his extra large collar years ago, so all you "big-boned" kitty contenders out there have a chance.

I'll start with the chimpanzees. Sometime this summer, seven
chimpanzees will move from a research facility in Pennsylvania to a
new, roomy sanctuary dedicated to their enrichment in Cle Elum. They
will be the first residents at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest (CSNW).

Sure puppies and kitties are great, but it's the geriatric dogs and
cats that really get to me. With their grey muzzles, cloudy eyes,
random lumps and slow moves, these venerable animals are snoring
monuments of loyalty and companionship. But not everyone loves a senior
quadruped, and old dogs and cats all too often find themselves in
shelters without a fawning public.

It seems like I've been writing an awful lot about urban nightlife in
Pet Dish, and I don't mean the nocturnal habits of furry critters. When
did loving dogs, cats, birds and fish become the secret to a busy social life?
Well, that's a question for another day because right now I want to
tell you about one more opportunity for animal-themed conviviality.

I know it's late notice but rearranging your schedule to get your laugh on and support off-leash parks in Seattle seems worth a little last-minute schedule wrangling. Tonight (Feb. 19), skip the Boston Legal rerun for a couple hours of live comedy that puts needed cash in the kitty for Citizens for Off-Leash Areas (COLA).
