Berlin is officially in heat. Not an experience I ever wished to have to live through. I suppose this is motherhood at its worst.

Because of her heat, we are unable to spay her as scheduled next Monday. Instead, we need to wait FOUR WEEKS. Yes, that’s right… four more weeks of this.

Thank God that dogs in heat are nothing like elephants in musth. Which brings me to my next hot topic… a delightful interview with my dear ex-Philadelphia Zoo coworker, Eric Matzke. Charming Eric and the ever-witty Robert recently started a delicious organization, City Food Tours where foodies like you and I can treat our “tastebuds to a culinary adventure with public walking tours in the heart of New York City and Philadelphia.” Brilliant idea, because I truly believe that Philly has some of the greatest food this side of Paris, and I have been bemoaning that fact ever since moving home to New England, which frankly, has nothing to write home about except darned good fresh seafood.

In this news segment, Eric tells us all about aphrodisiacs and will probably leave you drooling for a little bit more than fresh grilled asparagus. While I’m busy scaring away every male dog within a seven mile radius of our house, go book yourself a hot City Food Tour and enjoy the love that’s in the air in ways that Berlin is strictly verboten from doing.
