Around Town

This has been a great autumn. Just about all the leaves are on the ground, my lawn mower is put away, and the snow blower is ready for action. This Thursday we celebrate Thanksgiving. For most of us, this is the time to count our many blessings. Unfortunately, there are some still looking for their next meal or a warm …

Tim may be going into foster care. They just call be Good Boy. I am a large six year old male Mastiff mix. I am a big boy but very gentle. I should be in a family with no young children as I get a little too protective of the little ones. I need to be neutered and some obedience …

The election is over, which means that the campaigning is over, which means no more mudslinging via the news media. Someone made a lot of money during the campaigning, and I’m sure it wasn’t me or any others more deserving. What a waste of dollars. What will they talk about next on Facebook or Twitter? The next event to plan …

Hi, My name is Tim. I am a one year old male Husky/Lab. If you love long leisurely walks and ear scruffs I would love to share my life with you. I am starting to feel a little sad just hanging out here with little companionship. I light right up when someone can spend some time with me. I am …

Brilliant. That is the only word I have to describe the feat that Andy Ashkar pulled off when he won $5 million on a scratch-off lottery ticket six years ago in Syracuse, N.Y. In 2006, Andy bought a “$500,000,000 Extravaganza” scratch-off ticket at his parents’ convenience store, the “Green Ale Market.” The ticket was sold to Andy by his father …

Lenox has been adopted! I am Princess. I am a beautiful five year old spayed female Malamute. I am a happy girl and I do need some direction. I want to be good but you will need to tell me what you want of me. I need a fenced yard so that I can run off my energy. I would …

Christmas is only about two months away. It isn’t too hard to find Christmas items in many of the stores already. Thanksgiving is next month, and Halloween is next week. Why can’t we just take one day of celebration, or one holiday, at a time? Things have become so commercialized lately. I wouldn’t be surprised if fireworks don’t go on …

Frazee has been adopted! I am Lenox. I am a very easy going boy. I am three year old, have been neutered and my front feet have been declawed. I have been here for a very long time but I am in a bottom bunk and the visitors can’t see me very well. Someone in my family had allergies so …
