Susie is being a bit more tolerant than I had feared
Poor Shay had a bad injury 2 weeks ago, ended up getting his back right leg amputated on July 9th, so he is now about 10 days post surgery. We are fostering him, looking after him as he recovers.
At first he was very down, very anxious and not eating. But this has all come on really well in past 2 days.
He has urinary incontinence for now but we are hoping this improves over coming days.
The 2 dogs have very similar markings on their faces

My friend Jessica found this dog wandering in her neighborhood. She kept her for a few days, but her Jack Russell, Mr Mougli wasn't fond of her. So, I brought her home to foster her, but I'm growing more attached every minute. Jessica hung fliers in her neighborhood, so hopefully her owner will call and claim her, but if not I'll have to decide if I can part with her:) Taken May 26, 2008.
South Cumberland Falls State Park, Tennessee
Experience and enjoy one of the most scenic, wildest areas in Tennessee with a visit to the Foster Falls Area, South Cumberland State Park. Operated by Tennessee State Parks and located near Tracy City, Tennessee, this recreation area provides a beautiful base for exploring the south end of the Cumberland Plateau. Foster Falls is a spectacular 60-foot waterfall plunging into a deep pool. Mountain laurel, azaleas, and hemlocks growing above the falls, along the sandstone overlook, and in the gorge below add to the beauty of this area.
A fairly short but tricky hike down to the falls.
A southbound Purple Line local train to Howard Street approaches the platform at Foster, just north of downtown Evanston on the CTA Purple Line.
The section of platform at the north end of this station was abandoned when fare controls were moved from ground level to the south end of the platform, reducing the berthing space for trains. Since the Purple Line only runs six-car trains at a maximum anyway, the unneeded part of the platform was abandoned and closed off.
To the left are concrete supports that held up a second platform used by southbound North Shore interurbans on the Shore Line Route. This separation was done to prevent free transfers to 'L' trains from the North Shore Line. Northbound NSL trains, which boarded from the extant 'L' platform, did not encounter this problem, since conductors collected fares on-board. Though the Shore Line Route was cut in 1955 (with the remainder of the interurban via the Skokie Valley Route folding in 1963) the platform built for it wasn't removed until the '70s.
Worked at the studio and the local pool with Juliet. Had a great time and would recommend working with her if you need a model.

It went to Brewer , St Albans in February 1978.
Thanks to Roger Jones for pointing this out and the history lesson. The old neon sign from Foster's Cafeteria on Polk Street is again visible, after being hidden for many, many years.
This restaurant has some history, as allegedly the spot where Allen Ginsberg met Robert LaVigne, who in turn introduced Ginsberg to Peter Orlovsky.
Mike Foster wanted a simple headshot for his facebook/twitter. Mike is one of the creative principles at PlainJoe Studios and the author of Deadly Viper and Gracenomics. He also heads up People of the Second Chance (site designed by me).
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. I'll try to catch up on streams today.

A Bananas Foster Flambe is when alcohol is added to food and ignited. When you make bananas foster flambe, rum or bourbon is added to a buttery, brown sugar mixture and set alight briefly.
Bananas were not introduced to North America until sometime after the Civil War. Some decades later, when widespread consumption took hold, New Orleans became a major center for banana imports from Central and South America.
In 1951, with ever an eye for publicity and the promotion of his city, New Orleans, Owen Brennan (1910-1955) challenged his Dutch chef Paul Blangé (Paulus Ludovicus Blange -1977) to create a dish featuring the fruit. The dramatic, flambéed result is now the most-ordered item on Brennan's menu. The dish was named for Richard Foster, a friend of Owen Brennan and the chairman of the New Orleans Crime Commission, on which Brennan served.

American actress, director, and producer Jodie Foster (1962) has received two Academy Awards, three British Academy Film Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award and the Cecil B DeMille Award. A child prodigy, Foster began her professional career at the age of 3. Foster's breakthrough came at 14 with Martin Scorsese's psychological thriller Taxi Driver (1976). She played a child prostitute, for which she received an Oscar nomination. As an adult she won new acclaim with The Accused (1988), The Silence of the Lambs (1991), and Nell (1994). She later starred in four thrillers, Panic Room (2002), Flightplan (2005), Inside Man (2006) and The Brave One (2007), which were commercially successful and well-received by critics. She has focused on directing in the 2010s.
Jodie Foster was born Alicia Christian Foster in 1962 in Los Angeles. She is the daughter of Evelyn Ella "Brandy" (Almond), a producer, and Lucius Fisher Foster III, an Air Force lieutenant colonel and real estate broker. She is the younger sister of Buddy Foster, Cindy Foster Jones and Connie Foster, who all also acted. Brandy had filed for divorce in 1959 after having three children with Lucius, but the exes had a brief re-encounter in 1962 which resulted in Alicia's birth. Her older siblings nicknamed her Jodie, a name she has used in her profession. She started her career in a Coppertone Suntan Lotion commercial when she was 3 years old and made commercials for four years. She made her debut as an actress in the TV series Mayberry R.F.D. (1968), on which her brother, Buddy Foster, was a regular. She stayed very busy as a child actress, working on television programs such as The Doris Day Show (1968), Adam-12 (1968), The Courtship of Eddie's Father (1969), The Partridge Family (1970), Bonanza (1972), and Gunsmoke (1969-1972). In films, her roles included playing Raquel Welch's daughter in Kansas City Bomber (Jerold Freedman, 1972) and a tomboy in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (Martin Scorsese, 1974) starring Ellen Burstyn. She starred as Addie Pray on the short-lived television series Paper Moon (1974), which was originally a film by Peter Bogdanovich starring Tatum O'Neal. Jodie first drew attention from critics with her appearance in Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976) alongside Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel, where she played a prostitute at the tender age of 12. Her sister, Connie Foster, was her stand-in during the more explicit scenes. She received her first Oscar nomination as Best Supporting Actress for her role. She was 12 turning 13 during production of The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (Nicolas Gessner, 1976), for which she won the Saturn Award for Best Actress. Foster went on to have a very successful career in her early teens with leading roles in Bugsy Malone (Alan Parker, 1976) as the mini-vamp Tallulah, and the Disney films Freaky Friday (Gary Nelson, 1976) with Barbara Harris and Candleshoe (Norman Tokar, 1977) opposite David Niven and Helen Hayes. Fluent in French by age 14, she spoke her own lines in the French film Moi, fleur bleue (Eric Le Hung, 1977) with Jean Yanne and Sydne Rome. She also co-starred in the Italian comedy Casotto (Sergio Citti, 1977) with Catherine Deneuve. The last film she made during this era was the coming-of-age drama Foxes (Adrian Lyne, 1980), before enrolling at Yale University. During her freshman year at Yale, she was attached to a worldwide scandal when a crazed and obsessed fan named John Hinckley stalked her and shot President Ronald Reagan to impress her.
In 1985, Jodie Foster graduated magna cum laude from Yale University with a degree in literature. She resumed her acting career and appeared in the comedy drama The Hotel New Hampshire (Tony Richardson, 1984) opposite Rob Lowe and Nastassia Kinski, and based on the novel by John Irving. In France, she appeared in the historical drama Le sang des autres/The Blood of Others (Claude Chabrol, 1984) based on the novel by Simone de Beauvoir. Foster sought a breakthrough role that would return her to stardom. After appearing in a few obscure films with limited release, she landed an audition for The Accused (Jonathan Kaplan, 1988). She was cast in the part of Sarah Tobias, a waitress who is gang-raped in a bar during a night of partying and teams up with a lawyer played by Kelly McGillis to prosecute the attackers. This performance earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress, but despite the Oscar win, Jodie still hadn't re-established herself as a bankable star. Her next film, Catchfire (Dennis Hopper, 1990), went straight to video, and she had to campaign hard to get her next good role. In 1991, she starred as Clarice Starling, an FBI trainee assisting in a hunt for a serial killer in The Silence of the Lambs (Jonathan Demme, 1991) with Anthony Hopkins. The film was a blockbuster hit, winning Jodie her second Academy Award for Best Actress and establishing her as an international film star. With the wealth and fame to do anything she wanted, Jodie started directing. She made her directorial debut with Little Man Tate (Jodie Foster, 1991), which was followed by Home for the Holidays (Jodie Foster, 1995) with Holly Hunter, Anne Bancroft and Robert Downey Jr. These films were critically acclaimed but did not do well at the box office, and she proved to be a far more successful actress than she was a director. On the set of Sommersby (Jon Amiel, 1993) with Richard Gere, she met Cydney Bernard and was in a serious relationship with her until they broke up in 2008. 1994 was a huge triumph for her acting career. She first played a sexy con artist in the successful Western comedy Maverick (Richard Donner, 1994) with Mel Gibson and James Garner. Then, she played title role in Nell (Michael Apted, 1994), co-starring Liam Neeson and Natasha Richardson. For her compelling performance as a wild, backwoods hermit who speaks an invented language and must return to civilization, Jodie was nominated for another Academy Award and won a Screen Actors Guild Award as Best Actress. Although she was working far less frequently as an adult than she did as a child, the films she turned out were commercially successful and critically acclaimed. Her next big screen role was in the science fiction drama Contact (Robert Zemeckis, 1997) opposite Matthew McConaughey. She played a scientist who receives signals from space aliens. The film was a huge hit and brought her a Golden Globe nomination. She had to pull out of Double Jeopardy (Bruce Beresford, 1999) because she became pregnant, and was replaced by Ashley Judd. In 1999, her son Charles Foster, with partner Cydney Bernard, was born. She returned to work four months later in order to begin filming Anna and the King (Andy Tennant, 1999), a non-musical remake of The King and I (Walter Lang, 1956). The film was only modestly received in the U.S. but was very successful overseas.
Jodie Foster returned to work four months after giving birth to her second son Kit Foster, but she shut down her production company Egg Pictures in late 2001 to spend more time with her children. She headlined the thriller Panic Room (David Fincher, 2002), which co-starred Kristen Stewart. The film was a smash box-office hit and gave Jodie a $30 million opening weekend, the biggest of her career yet. She then appeared in two low-profile projects: the independent film The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (Peter Care, 2002) and the French film Un long dimanche de fiançailles (Jean-Pierre Jeunet, 2004) with Audrey Tautou and Gaspard Ulliel. She returned to making Hollywood mainstream films, first with Flightplan (Robert Schwentke, 2005), in which she played a woman whose daughter disappears on an airplane that she designed. Once again Jodie proved herself to be a box-office draw, and the film was a worldwide hit. The following year, she starred in another hit, the bank heist thriller Inside Man (Spike Lee, 2006) with Denzel Washington and Clive Owen. Jodie was on a roll. Her next film was the revenge thriller The Brave One (Neil Jordan, 2007), which once again opened at #1 at the box office and earned her another Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress. Following this succession of thrillers that all had her playing tough women, Jodie returned to the comedy genre in Nim's Island (Jennifer Flackett, Mark Levin, 2008) with Gerard Butler and Abigail Breslin. She reunited with Mel Gibson in the comedy The Beaver (Jodie Foster, 2011). Strong roles followed in Carnage (Roman Polanski, 2011) with Kate Winslet, and the SCi-Fi film Elysium (Neill Blomkamp, 2013) with Matt Damon. In 2013, she received the Cecil B. DeMille award at the Golden Globe Awards. In April 2016, Jodie Foster married Alexandra Hedison. In July that year, John Hinckley was released after almost 35 years of commission to St. Elizabeth's Mental Institution. Lately, she focused on directing and made the film Money Monster (2016), as well as episodes for the TV series Orange Is the New Black, House of Cards, and Black Mirror. Jodie Foster's most recent film is Hotel Artemis (Drew Pearce, 2018) in which she runs a high-security, members-only hospital for high-rolling criminals in Los Angeles.

Welcome Foster!
Foster arrived this weekend and is settling into his new Pack. He's not sure what it will be like for a bird to live in this house of standard poodles. He heard from his friend Flicka that things can get interesting around here. So far, he's recovered from his jet lag by taking a long nap and he woke up looking divine. Tag was a bit jealous, because he's been struggling with bad hair days lately, but Foster tells him he looks mahvelous!
I'm so proud to be an adoptive home for a crane from The Paper Crane Project and Eshu -- Foster is a lovely blue and white print..
