Craig was a foster child in California but ultimately the siren call of Port Townsend lured him here. Actually, his wife had spent summers here as a child. He had some experience with pet stores so it was natural for him to end up at Bonita’s. After Bonita's death he purchased the shop and hasn’t looked back. There are now Bonita’s stores in both PT and Sequim. He’s regularly expanding his wares. He’s a big proponent of the mantra “no corn, wheat or soy” in your pet food. In fact, that’s all they sell at Bonita's! WEDNESDAY BRING YOUR RECORDS with host Larry Stein Wednesday 9:30-11 Before KPTZ I never had the opportunity to play music for our listeners.

December 3 We’re in Gansu Province in the town of Wuwei, visiting the tomb where China’s famous Bronze Horse was discovered in 1969. It’s no coincidence that such a beautiful piece of sculpture was buried here. The horse was the key to military operations on the Silk Road, and it turns out that the Wuwei area is still one of China’s major horse racing centers. The camel may have carried the bulk of merchandise, but the horse carried those who sought to maintain control of the road. December 10 We’re visiting an underground tomb just north of the garrison town of Wuwei in Gansu Province. That is where China’s famous bronze horse was found in 1969. The tomb itself is not all that noteworthy except that, being it’s the grave of a Han Dynasty general. and there’s a shrine on top of the grave mound in honor of Leigong, the Duke of Thunder. This is where officials came to pray for rain or for victory against the Huns. On our way back we passed a pagoda, whose bells sang in the wind and told us a story.
