Jessica does not get it...
I love it! You think the Garden District Association would let me get away with getting one?
Shut UP!
One of our dear clients daughter (no worry she has the proper background) is babysitting this little one who is getting stronger and almost ready to be released... I got this great photo and email... I LOVE IT!
"This is Jilly she is 6 months old and will be released into a wonderful private wildlife preserve on the North Shore but is living with the owners of that property until she is old enough to be placed with the other roos.. She eats mostly formula but likes crackers, and she has no fear of humans, has no fear and will allow petting. She's super soft, cuter than you can imagine, very alert, looks at everything, especially loves seeing her reflection in windows and mirrors. to hold her you have to scoop her up very deliberately, otherwise she hops away, quickly. today congo took a nap today with mary anne, on her bed, can you imagine !! she looks like a rabbit and drops rabbit like pellets. i was told you can't house train a kangeroo, thank goodness cause they deserve lots of acreage."
Can you help the puppy express?
All aboard the puppy express!
Woof woof! All aboard! Right now, an empty no-kill shelter in New Hampshire is eager to take in 30 of our homeless animals. Wonderful families are anxiously waiting to adopt!! Want to help these pups find loving homes?

Please consider helping! This is great way to help get some babies to a safe place and into a loving home!

- Where are you from? How long have you been in New Orleans? Pittsfield, Massachusetts...been here 4yrs, 5mo and 27 days.
- What is your background... College? Bachelor of Science in Zoology from Michigan State University (dual major in Neurobiology and Animal Behavior), then it was off to Mozambique for 27 months in the Peace Corps (I taught human anatomy, biology, and genetics to 8-10th graders in Portuguese...yup, that was entertaining (for them)), Masters in Public Health from Tulane (focus on Global Maternal and Child Health and HIV/AIDS), currently a PhD student in International Health focusing on food security and child development in Malawi...oh, and procrastination!
- Pets? Buzi, the most incredible black lab ever, Clementine (AKA Tiny) my slobbering goof of a Great Dane, Dil (yes, only one "L") my 3yr old tiger kitty...a total momma's boy, and Einstein (AKA Munch, Munchkin, Steiner, Wad) the orange purr-ball.
- Outside of spending time with your pets... what is your favorite thing to do? TRAVEL!!! Camp, hike, ride my bike, and NAP!
- What is the best part of working for New Orleans Pet Care? Enzo, Gunner, Tycie, Max V., Patty, Max K., Dusty, Straya, Freddie & Dubya, Hummer & Perceval, and Doody (Diamond, Scruffy, and baby Tate all belong here too...R.I.P.)
- What is the worst part of working for New Orleans Pet Care? Traffic, construction, potholes, school buses, speed limits...oh, and picking up poop.
- Where do you see yourself in five years? Living in Geneva, Switzerland working for the World Health Org. That will be Dr. Sawyer to you...you can start practicing now.
- Coffee, Tea or Soda? Coffee before 9am, Chai or anything minty between 9-4, Vodka and Cranberry Juice after 5pm.
- If you could go out to dinner anywhere in the city this PM where would you go? Who's paying? If I have to pay...I'm going to Lebanon or maybe Juan's (mmmmmm...fish tacos!). If someone else is paying...Restaurant August it is!!

- What sound or noise do you love? Africa at night
- What sound or noise do you hate? Styrofoam rubbing together and plastic being crinkled
- What is your favorite curse word? Why pick just one? It's a tie between fuck and sonofabitch.

- What profession would you not like to do? I would NOT want to be a dentist...other people's plaque grosses me out.
- If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? He would say "Oops, my bad...got the wrong Sawyer! You are free to go" However, with my history...I'm not so sure it will be the Pearly Gates I arrive at ;)
