Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
Why does IE7 do this
when all the other browsers do this
Firefox Gran Paradiso (20081027 nightly)
Firefox 3.0.2 (Linux)
Opera 9.61 (Linux)
Google Chrome 0.2.149.30
This turns out to be a problem with IE that goes all the way back to IE6 and apparently doesn’t seem to have been corrected with IE7. Just Google “css z-index ie” and you’ll find a bunch of stuff on it. I’m already using a z-index: 1; CSS property to get the menu to display on top of everything else. Still no joy with IE.
Blargh.
Spent yesterday afternoon out on Daniel Island for Daniel Island Park Day at the WHLR booth. Despite the intermittent rain and general sogginess of the day, there were quite a few people out there (although I’m sure there would have been more if it was a nice day).
I only made it out for the afternoon so I managed to miss the fun of setting up, dealing with the rain, moving everything out of the rain and fire ants. The rest of the afternoon was ok though with a lot of people stopping by to meet the pups and dogs. Had a few ask about fostering which was good. WHLR needs all the fosters they can get.
This awesome dog house (or kid’s play house, I suppose, if you don’t have dogs) was being raffled off. Because of the low turnout due to rain, the raffle date for the dog house was pushed back to Oct 23. If you purchase your raffle tickets from Lucia’s Premium Pet next to the Daniel Island Publix, proceeds will go to WHLR.
Yes, that’s grass on the roof.

Wild Heir Lab Rescue will be at Daniel Island Park Day on Saturday Oct 11. Come on out and enjoy the afternoon with us and meet some of our adoptable dogs!
Sunday join other Lowcountry bloggers at Blognic ’08 at Wannamaker County Park. It’s a pot-luck affair for the whole family so bring everybody along for a great afternoon outing.
If you and your dog(s) are looking for something fun to do, come out and join Wild Heir Labrador Rescue at Worthy Creatures (formerly Kreature Komforts) for Barktoberfest! Stop by and meet some of our adoptable dogs, play some games, get some dog portraits taken and help support the rescue.
It was a busy evening for me as I shuttled myself between a couple of events last night.
First up was WHLR‘s Bow Wow Luau fundraiser event.
It was hosted by the folks at Down to Earth, an outdoor garden/living space type place that had a lot of neat stuff: plants, fountains, outdoor furniture, that kind of thing.
There were some nice beachy tunes being played and some great food provided by Square Onion.
There were some great baskets being raffled off and everybody there seemed to be having a good time.
