One of the Kittens was adopted. I am Bentley and just I wanted to say hi! I am a three year old neutered male Lab mix. I am a very nice little boy, I know to sit when I’m told and walk nicely on a leash. I love to go for walks and play with toys. I would be very …

School has been in session for a week now. Students are settling in with their daily routines and are realizing that school can actually be fun and educational. The moms, who have sent their little ones off to their first day ever of school, have dried their tears and now realize that little Susie will return home after being cast …

One thing I said I would not do this year is write a politically charged column giving my reasons as to whom I am voting for and the reasons why. I did that in 2008. My candidate lost. That, coupled with the fact that when, a few years ago in my preview column, I predicted the Kalamazoo Wings would sweep …

Tesha went to Up-Cycled Pets. We are just two little boys who need a chance. Our names are Cookie and Jacoby we are just little kitties from the same litter. Our sister is here too and she is cute.

The St. Joseph County Grange Fair is still a couple of weeks away. The dates this year are from September 16 through September 22. If the weather continues the way it has been, we should have Mother Nature on our side. Brochures can be picked up at the Three Rivers Area Chamber of Commerce office at 57 North Main Street, …

Like most children, our daughters are always asking if we can have more pets. We currently have two cats, Dreyfus and Calum. Dreyfus is the old man of the two as he just had his 15th birthday and Calum is right behind him at 13. Although my wife loves our cats — she picked them out — her biggest fear …

Bella has a new home I am Teddy, a very happy one year old male Lab Terrier mix. I am very small and feeling kind of lonely. You see my people were not very interested in me any more, don’t understand why, I still like to play and have fun. I wandered off and now I have been here for …
