Pet Dish
I know a local dog, who could be an awesom dock diver. He's strapping, agile and can leap doghouses in a single bound. Only one problem: He's afraid of water. So this year--at least--he's no threat to DockDogs competitors at the Puyallup Spring Fair (April 17-20)--the briefer, more intimate sibling of that big fair in September.

You know how people with pets project personalities, pet peeves, and cartoon voices on to them? It's not pretty, but almost everyone does it, at least in private. Among the many fantasy aspirations I used to pretend for my Labrador/Shepherd mix, Lulu, was that she wanted to have her ears made larger and erect, ala Rin Tin Tin.

This year's event will be held Saturday, April 19 at Hiawatha Playfield.

I've been accorded a few honors in my time. I've won (minor! regional!) awards for my writing, I've received compliments on my work from people whose own work I love and respect, and I've been groped by a decent cross-section of good-looking people. However, I've never known one great honor until now.

For at least 20 years, tiny, funky Bizzarro Italian Café has had a few things going for it that make Wallingford residents want to keep it tucked away.
