Martinis for Mutts and Recipes Too

Got to talk with some great pet lovers last night at Faithful Friends' Martinis for Mutts fundraiser at Home Grown Cafe in Newark.

Met some nice folks with a Corgi named Lord Nelson -- Nelson for short -- who sounds as if he rules the roost. And a woman who's allergic to cats and still has seven at home! That's love. And another woman who's had a chiropractor come to her home to adjust her black Lab. She says it's worked wonders, and dogs don't have to be adjusted as often as people. Who knew?

For those who missed the drinks, this was Home Grown's special drink menu:

* Greyhound: Ruby red grapefruit Charbay vodka and grapefruit juice with a salt rim
* French Poodle: Grand Marnier, Cahmbord, peach schnapps and pineapple juice
* Bull Dog: Makers Mark Manhattan
* Chocolate Lab: Dutch chocolate Van Gogh and Godiva (a chocolate lover's dream)

The next Martinis for Mutts (and cats too) cocktail party will be Tuesday, July 25 at Harry's Seafood Grill on Wilmington's riverfront. Mark your calendar.
