I've always kind of wondered about pug passion. As much as I am an equal opportunity dog lover, the bug-eyed, plate-faced pugs have never really captured my fancy. I say this with trepidation since I know they've pretty much cornered most-favored status among Seattle's canine bantam weights.

You can disparage Ballard as you will -- "not as cool as it once was," "too many condos," "Geoff Carter lives there" -- but you can't deny that its residents give a hell of a lot of money to listener-supported radio. In recognition of the neighborhood's solid fundraising efforts during last summer's pledge drive, KEXP will be broadcasting live from Ballard from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, May 9.

Since Monday, the Seattle Animal Shelter has been promoting
Be Kind to Animals Week. I love the sentiment and admire the work of the
Seattle Animal Shelter. I have a major soft spot for them, since that's where I found my dog Lulu. In the spirit of the thing, the Shelter suggests excellent actions such as encouraging family and friends to spay or neuter their pets, creating spaces for wildlife, reporting animal abuse or neglect, volunteering at your local animal shelter and speaking out on the importance of respecting animals.

Your mother gives and gives and gives, and what do you give back?
Nothing but heartache. Did you have to get that tattoo? And is she ever
going to have a grandchild? The least you could do for her this
Mother's Day is buy her something sweet-smelling or pretty, or take her to brunch someplace nice. You always were a good kid, you know, even if that tattoo makes you look like some kind of criminal.
