Asking Eric: Grieving a lost pet, owner fears being unfair to new pet

Asking Eric: Grieving a lost pet, owner fears being unfair to new pet

Washington Post14-06-2025
Dear Eric: I am in my 70s so I should know better. Almost two years ago I had to put my 13-year-old Yorkshire Terrier named Shorty to sleep. This broke my heart.
Within a couple of months, I decided to get another dog, this time a Gold Dust Yorkie named Buddy. I realize now this was such a big mistake. I should not have done this so quickly.

Shelly Zegart, Who Stitched Quilting to History and Art, Dies at 84

Shelly Zegart, a colossus in the world of quilting who was instrumental in elevating what was long considered a mere utilitarian craft into the canon of American art and material culture, died on July 22 at her home in Louisville, Ky. She was 84. Her death was announced by Kentucky to the World, an organization she founded in 2012 to promote the state's intellectual and cultural contributions to society. No cause was specified. Once called the 'Queen of Quilts,' Ms. Zegart wore stylish glasses, had an occasionally imperious personality and never stitched so much as a sweater in her life. ('I don't make anything,' she once said, 'not even dinner.') What she did make were connections: between quilters, art collectors, historians and museums. In doing so, she connected quilting to the American experience — from hollows in Appalachia to the stark plains of Nebraska. 'I've often compared America to a patchwork quilt, and each patch is from a very different source,' William R. Ferris, a professor of American history at the University of North Carolina, said in an interview. 'On the quilt, those many different images come together in a very beautiful and powerful way. Shelly knew quite well the value of these images.' In 1981, Ms. Zegart was a founder of the Kentucky Quilt Project, an effort to catalog historically significant quilts in the state. A decade later, she started the Alliance for American Quilts, a research and preservation group now known as the Quilt Alliance. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Bag of Potato Chips Stuffed With $300 Hits NYC Mayor's Reelection Bid

Save For Winnie Greco, a longtime adviser to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, it was a gesture of friendship. A bag of Herr's Sour Cream & Onion ripple cut potato chips containing a red envelope with a $100 bill and a bunch of $20s enclosed as a gift to a friend. For the recipient — a reporter for publication The City — it was a gift she could never accept. She reportedly told Greco as much on Wednesday, before Greco asked her to 'please forget about this.'
