Why People Are Afraid of Detroit
The Detroit Monster attacking a sweet, innocent child from Rochester... Her laughter hides her fear...

Look who's up for adoption on April 27th!
Puppies are the best way to clean your desk on "cleaning day."
Emmy Lou wasn't so happy about "cleaning day."
That's all. Off to start an insurrection...

The 80s Are Over
Ahhh, the first woodchuck of summer!
Took a nice little hike to check out Irondequoit Creek at Linear/Philbrick Park in Penfield
I know the feeling...
Made my first visit to the Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC) on a rainy afternoon.
And, how can you go wrong with a breast cancer awareness bulldozer demonstration?
Megan lifting herself, which is really good exercise
They need to make beaver sweatshirts in adult sizes. And, sell them in the shop.
What is this exhibit?
Ah yes, a male resident of Rochester in 2006. If only I could travel back to 2006 and warn this man not to purchase a new home or invest in Lehman Brothers!
MASTODON!
The happiest fossil in all of the museum!
What downtown Rochester use to look like
I had a great time at the museum. The Extreme Mammals exhibit was pretty cool. The kids area with all the science experiments was fun. The history of abolition and slavery in Rochester was really well done and interesting. Then there was the energy area and the Rochester Business Hall of Fame. So, lots of stuff to look at: http://www.rmsc.org/
Petey is getting big
Time for some chili (chil-ee; not the city of chy-ly for local Rochesterians)

Spring Is the New Summer
Pure joy when it is 70 degrees in mid-March. Mike's wife can then bring him to Indian Landing School playground.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEE!!! Notice her puppy shaped flower arrangement
My new favorite corporate logo. It's for Moonshine BBQ and I can't wait to go here for our 2nd anniversary!

Thank you daylight savings. Someday, I will run for office and my platform will be solely advocating for daylight savings time to be year round. And, why not move it ahead two hours?
Fooooood...

My 2nd Dog and Pony Show
Telethon 2012 for Lollypop Farm was a great success thanks to the Rochester community and beyond. Our goal of $210,000 was exceeded as we reached 237,230!!! Here's a WHAM 13/Rochester CW interview.
Info in case you didn't see it earlier
Setting up for the big show
The phone bank volunteers I trained. They did an awesome job this year. They had very nice handwriting, which was complimented on by a lot of people
Not-so-behind the scenes at Eastview Mall
The kissing booth
Our first customer!
Mercy the Mini Horse! She's already a star at Lollypop, but the pink shoes really capture the diva in her.
Joanna doing an awesome job training more phone bank volunteers. TEAMWORK!
Busy answering the phones
Behind the scenes with all the "overflow" phone bank volunteers. That's a lot of phone calls!
The show's over...
The set was taken down in a matter of minutes. As Karen said, "It's like Christmas. You spend months shopping and weeks to get everything ready and then all the gifts are opened and forgotten about within five minutes."
Another great Telethon! Lots of "good jobs" and "congrats" to go around. The Rochester community for their support of our animals. To all the volunteers who poured their time and energy into this effort. To all the staff that dedicated countless hours during the Telethon and year-round. It's moments like this that show why Lollypop Farm is such a wonderful and unique place for animals!
