As an update to this post, I thought you’d like to see what Mei Mei & Sammi girl ( otherwise known as Lil Mouse & The Yapper and also Spinner & Scooter; and most affectionately, Thing 1 & Thing 2) are up to this Christmas. They’ve been modeling their matching family pajamas, as well as working on their smoldering looks for their upcoming calendar.
Meanwhile, so many of you really enjoyed our Saturday art walk in person at Pepsico Sculpture Gardens at the end of October and you have reached out to let me know how you’re looking forward to the art walk. Don’t worry – you are heard!
I am already working on our next in-person art walk happening in Katonah. And, as per usual, we are back in our virtual meeting room for weekly art history.
Now, let’s take a peek at this incredible documentary on dogs, their humans , and how lucky we are to have them in our lives.
Mei takes it all very seriously…
Originally I was working on teaching a class on the film Dog Years, but switched to the incredible documentary, Why We Don’t Deserve Dogs, for a variety of reasons. This film from 2020 is a remarkable look at the relationship between human beings and dogs.
It spans the globe from Chile to Scotland to Uganda and various countries in between. It is a quiet, contemplative look at the way dogs affect people, whether it be truffle hunters, former child soldiers, or shepherds. With their patience, constancy and unquestioning devotion, its no wonder dogs are loved and revered in so many parts of the world.
They have the power to redeem us, rescue us, entertain us, and most importantly, love us unconditionally.
