Last night I took Dad and Tracy to Studio 99 in Nashua where we caught the act of Liz Longley. I actually took them
there on Wednesday to get tickets and also to listen into the Brian Thomas led Jazz Jam. Fun and friendly environment
which encouraged folks to join in or to sit back and enjoy…we did the latter! So the place is directly off main
street in Nashua though the entrance is around the backside of the building off Mechanic Street and this is very close
to our stomping grounds though I might have missed it without Tracy there to help. I think I’ve learned the route now
though and there seems to be parking pretty regularly! I added them to my twitter of course but you can look them up

Liz is a young songwriter from Philadelphia now finishing up her Berkley education and travelling to perform
frequently. She’s got some Blues, a little jazz and a fair bit of original folk style. You can find samples all over
the web and I’ll leave that to you and google with the caveat my tail wagged several times and I relaxed and watched
her perform while Dad and Tracy appreciated the show. Thanks to Rachel for sending us the tip to catch this
performance.

So each time we’ve gone to Studio 99 we’ve met some quality people and it seems this is a theme of intent by the Woman
who runs the venture, Elise MacDonald. She’s a contact of Uncle Rick’s from waaaaay back in the Nashua Flute Choir
original days. Last night we met a couple raising a Lab, beast, as a Service Animal for their daughter and they may
check in on here occasionally for updates on me and insight into a working dog world. Good luck Beast, at 15 weeks
there’s plenty of fun work ahead for you!

This was a lazy Quinn morning and as such comes the title of this post. We sat out in the sea porch with my memory
foam dog bed in front of the fire and in the sun while Dad and Tracy pulled up wicker chairs and talked. A pup is
never as content as when surrounded by ‘the pack’, warm and cozy with plans for future play. I could use a few more
slow days like this to appreciate the busy times. Plus I’ve already played Hedgie, tennis ball and taken a stroll to
get Dad some fresh air this afternoon. It’s a good day!
