Councillor Kim Capri says a bylaw is needed because the general public doesn't always know how to care for exotic pets, "The environment appeared to be sound and it was somebody who I believe was studying zoology who was keeping them, and yet you have situation where an animal has fallen off a building and they were probably trying to escape a situation where they were in distress."
Capri says City staff are studying several options for a possible exotic animal bylaw, but the options won't be presented to Council until the fall.
So last night four of the book club ladies showed up at my house and we sat on the cool (although quite windy) deck and discussed Middlesex. And I just realized we never talked about the title or its significance or its multiple meanings...hmmm.... But we did discuss Chapter Eleven's name and Tessie's monitoring of her children's bowels at great length. It was too hot to knit and talk, but it's been too hot to knit for quite some time. Thank goodness those babies aren't coming until October/November!
And of course, since my fingers are always itching for something to knit and since knitting is hugely therapeutic and relaxing for me, I have started another project. This one is a baby blanket for one of the never ending stream of babies that our friends have been producing lately. It's very exciting. I think there are four or five couples we know who are all due in October/November.
