On September 25th Sara and I went to a benefit for Animal Care and Control. I fell in love with this cute pooch named Foxy. I held her in my arms as I walked around the party, and practically had a meltdown when her caretakers told me she had just arrived at the shelter after having been thrown from a car. One thing you do not want to do is tell someone like me, after he's had three martinis, that the doggy he is holding was recently thrown from a car. I scolded, "how can you people be telling me this? I cannot have another dog! Oh, I know, I'll call my mother! She'd love a dog!" So, not thinking clearly, I handed Foxy off and went out to the hall to call Irene, who replied, "Frank, you need to stop drinking." Not funny. I decided I was confident that a sweet little beauty like Foxy would find a new loving home in no time. So I said goodnight, and Sara and I went off to Jewel Bako, where Jack, the owner, had to serve my martinis on the sly because Sara had cut me off.
