Instagram Inspiration: A Puppy Pick-Me-Up
Take a peek at five of Seattle's most adorable dogs
Although National Dog Day has passed, I still spend a decent amount of time every day looking at pictures of puppies (some might say too much time). Since the only pet I currently own is an enormous lazy tomcat who howls late into the night, I have to get my puppy love via the internet. The pups featured on these five local Instagram accounts will, without fail, make your day a little happier. Just try to look at any one of these pictures without smiling.
If you want to get a little more up close and personal, try out one of these Seattle-area shelters where you can adopt, volunteer, or donate: King County Animal Shelter, Seattle Humane Society, Seattle Animal Shelter, PAWS, and Ginger’s Pet Rescue.
For the especially adventurous animal-lovers, see what’s going on at the Sarvey Wildlife Care Center. They are currently rehabilitating a family of opossums, a turkey vulture, several baby squirrels, and a group of raccoons. You can’t adopt these little creatures, but you can volunteer or donate to Sarvey Wildlife by purchasing items off their Amazon Wish List (some items cost as little as $4.99).
Let the “awws” begin.

Things I did, saw, ate, learned, or read in the past week (or so).
COOKING WITH ASTER PANTRY A few leaves turn, my inbox fills with fall festival pitches and cozy brunch menus, and suddenly I want to stay home with a glass of wine and cook. I love this nesting season, though I’m not ready to give up summer produce. Earlier this year, I wrote about Seattle chefs…
WALKDONTRUN Returns This Saturday, Turning Downtown Seattle Into a Sprawling Art Show
In its second year, the free festival brings 200-plus artists to a 20-block route September 19, with a secret garden and a former 7-Eleven stocked with art.
Most walks through downtown Seattle involve trying to get somewhere. On September 19, the crosswalk itself might be the reason to stop. Heap Troupe will turn a four-way crossing into a performance, one of dozens of encounters planned for this year’s WALKDONTRUN. The free, all-ages art walk stretches across more than 20 blocks. From 11…
At Two Dot Schoolhouse, Ruth Marie Tomlinson Builds an Artistic Community
For nearly 20 years, the Seattle artist and her husband have welcomed artists, writers, and musicians to a historic Montana schoolhouse. Now they’re searching for its next stewards.
At her solo exhibition last year at The Vestibule, Seattle artist Ruth Marie Tomlinson presented a new series of work inspired by her close readings of British nature writer J.A. Baker’s The Peregrine and Icelandic author Sjón’s The Blue Fox. As if on sheets torn from a sketchbook, her pages included excerpts and outtakes of…

HOOKED ON KNOCKS Admittedly, I am late to this one. The Seahawks’ first season of Hard Knocks, the HBO series that follows NFL teams through training camp, premiered in August, but until last week, I had never heard of it. To be honest, my football knowledge starts with knowing what a touchdown is and doesn’t…
