Thurman

Hi. I am a stray who was brought to Animal Control a few weeks ago. They have been calling me Thurman, but you can call me whatever you want. I am very special because I have only three legs.

While standing before a judge in regards to a probation violation in a Florida courtroom, former NFL player and Dancing with the Stars contestant Chad Johnson, formerly known as Chad Ochocinco and Chad Johnson before that, decided to have …

Out and About – Week of June 17th

I’m starting this week’s column midway through the 57th Annual Water Festival here in Three Rivers. I’ve been involved with the Water Festival for at least five or six years now, so I feel that I know at least a little bit about what I’m talking about. I’ve been co-chairing the parade for several years now, working with Pam Hughes. …

Intermittent rain showers Saturday forced Water Festival organizers to call off the event-ending entertainment and fireworks programs.

Shihtzu Mix

Hi. I am a shih-tzu mix but also look like a wiry haired little gentleman. My owners are moving and can’t take me with them. I am about 10 months old, male and am black and tan. I am a little shy at first but then very friendly. I don’t think I will get real large, so I will fit …
