I am Jaylin .   Look at me.  I am ready for adoption!  I need to be kept busy with a job or lots of exercise.  I may be a little shy at first but once I warm up, all I want is attention!  I think I am about a year old and will need my spay surgery.  If you’re interested …

One is never too old to accept good advice when offered. You may heed it or you may put it completely out of your mind. Take your pick on these five suggestions: Brush your teeth before putting on your tie. Never say, “My child would never do that.” Never tell a person who’s experiencing deep sorrow, “I know how you …

We recently had the opportunity to get Out and About to South Haven. We’ve been there before, but it was during the summer season and was much busier. This time, we traveled west to the city on the lake on a Wednesday. We couldn’t have had nicer weather, although it was a bit windy. After a very nice lunch at …

There are some elected officials who make a lot of money serving us. Most of them have their offices in Washington, D.C. I can’t think of one U.S. Senator or U.S. Congressman who is destitute or holds a part-time job. Once they retire, if they ever do, they continue to receive some sort of big benefit for the service they’ve …

A reminder to set your clocks ahead one hour before going to bed this next Saturday night. Yes, you lose one hour of sleep, but the days are getting longer, which means you’ll be able to get Out and About, and stay out to enjoy more daylight activities. I’m not sure if March came in like a lion or a …

“If you’re too busy to laugh, you’re too busy.” – Proverb Please mark your calendars for next Monday, March 8. This is International Women’s Day. This is the one day we men should be extra nice to all the women we know. For most of us, this will not be difficult, because most of us are as nice as we …

The recent snowfall we received last week, reminded me of how much we neglect our vehicles during inclement weather. I saw quite a few cars that had not been properly cleared of the white stuff. These cars evidently were not kept in a garage. Not everyone has the luxury of having a garage in which to keep their vehicles out …

Hi there! My name is Moonshine Jimmy and I’m just ready to have a blast! Let’s play, go for a walkie or just hang out on the couch, I’m up for whatever. I’m about 1.5 years old and I will need my neuter surgery, but I am current on my rabies vaccination.  You can call and make an appointment to …
