Pet projects
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Butterfly had a harrowing ordeal yesterday.
We ran over to the Atlanta Humane Society to pay public relations manager P.J. Smith a visit. As she was detailing upcoming events to benefit the organization, AHS president Carl E. Leveridge appeared with a grim report: a female pit bull had been brought in with a knife in her skull. (I hope I never see anything like that again!)
Surgery to remove the knife yesterday was successful and the dog, which appeared alert and curious about her temporary digs this morning, probably will be a candidate for adoption next week.
They are calling her Lucky.
With that happy ending, let me tell you about some upcoming events to benefit our four-legged friends.
Animal attractions
The PAWS Atlanta Flea Ball is Sept. 22 on the J.B. Fuqua Rooftop Pavilion at the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. It will feature a spread by Classic Fare Catering, entertainment by the Michael Panza a silent auction and a guest billed as a local celebrity: one Sam the Fat Cat. Tickets are $75 per person.

And the Taylor Kinzel Gallery in Roswell will host a silent auction of artwork featuring dogs and cats to benefit Canine Assistants and Good Mews. The opening reception is tonight from 5-9 p.m., and bidding ends at 5 p.m. Aug. 19. 16 Elizabeth Way, 770 993-3555, www.taylorkinzelgallery.com.
