In recent days/weeks we've had several Kita the Wonder Dog of East 10th Street sightings … while she is wearing some kind of protective paw thing. (Not the technical term!)
So we reached out to Kita's owners for a report.
"She is still recovering from a torn tendon that happened during the brutal icy winter. She's been treated by a variety of local and non-local vets to varying degrees of success. Now she travels to Long Island every Thursday morning with a fabulous vet who apparently has a national reputation for diagnosing the undiagnosible."
The poor dear! What is the prognosis?
"By all accounts, including hers, Kita is on the mend. She avoided having to need surgery. She's looking forward to being able to chase tennis balls in Tompkins Square Park and East River Park very soon."
On the next episode, Kita responds to the commenter who writes, 'If you don't like torn tendons, then move to … '"

Hm, if we see Kita, does that mean her human is the mysterious Grieve?
ReplyDeleteBrutal winter for everyone. I am happy to read that Miss Kita is on the mend. I am certain she will be delighted to run after tennis balls or anything that moves after her contraptions are removed.

To: Anonymous: AUGUST 8, 2014 AT 3:25 PM and to any and all other interested parties, let's be clear, very clear, that Miss Kita the Wonder Dog of East 10th Street's humans are most assuredly NOT the elusive Mr. Grieve. Sweet Jesus no! Miss Kita's humans are simply two humble, meek and desperately aging homosexuals who have called the EV home for a couple of decades now. Should you see us out and about by all means say hello, as many of you already do. But dear God don't mistake us for EV Grieve even though we love and admire him though have never met him in person. All love, Jose Garcia, the other Mr. Garcia and Miss Kita her own self. xo, jg
ReplyDeleteWow.. where there's smoke, there's fire. And that reads like a major smoke screen... Grieve?
DeleteHa ha ha! Not a smoke screen at all. We just don't want to be Grieve-stalked while we're out with our gorgeous and super sweet pooch. Really. Best, the Jose Garcia's and Miss Kita the Wonder Dog of East 10th Street herself. xo
