Pet Dish
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.

There's an old saying: "Whenever fate closes a neighborhood bowling alley, it opens an ultralounge that happens to have a few bowling lanes."
I must confess that when I first heard that phrase, it didn't make much sense to me, but dig this: Last week it was announced that Ballard's popular Sunset Bowl, the only bowling alley on the Northwest side of town, will close forever this April. Two days after I heard that sad news, I checked out the grand opening of Lucky Strike Lanes in Bellevue, an "upscale bowling alley and lounge." It's funny the way those old adages find ways to fit modern-day situations.
