Out and About – Week of April 9th

Every April we have a rendezvous with destiny. This rendezvous involves the taxman. Oops, I’m sorry, the “Tax Person”. Some have already filed returns for 2017, and some have even received money back, if they managed their finances properly. If you owe the IRS, you have until April 17, because the fifteenth falls on a Sunday. I wish you all …

May

Hi, I am called May.  I was wandering around for a bit.  I am only 39 pounds.  The ladies at Animal Control say I have the saddest face!  I never potty in my unit.  When I walk on leash I like to take the leash in my mouth and walk myself.  The ladies think I seem to like other dogs.  …

Out and About – Week of April 2nd

I mention this every year, because I think it’s interesting that I’ve never run out of something to say every week for the past twelve years. There have been many changes over the years. Some were good and some not so good, but like everyone else, I’ve done what I can to adapt to them. I have a nicer office. …

Huck

Well how did I get in here at Animal Control?  The lady that took my picture said “I am the nicest hound she has dealt with.  I am nice on leash, and I love attention.”  The staff think I am housebroken.  I am a red hound, about four years old, male.  I’m not as uncontrolled as some of the previous …

Out and About – Week of March 26th

At one time, there were municipalities where your vehicle had to have a village or city sticker displayed on a corner of your windshield. In order to be issued a sticker, your vehicle had to pass a safety inspection. The inspection included having a working horn, headlights that weren’t broken or burned out, a working license plate light, and tires …

Out and About – Week of March 19th

In the past I’ve shared some interesting facts on cucumbers. At this time, I’d like to enlighten you a little bit on maple syrup. Pancakes, waffles and French toast just aren’t the same without it, yet I do know at least one person who enjoys sausage gravy on his pancakes. I’ve never tried it, so who am I to offer …

Out and About – Week of March 12th

By now your clocks should have been reset one hour ahead. Last Sunday was the day when we switched to Daylight Savings Time. No one has ever given me a good reason why we still do this. Maybe it takes an act of Congress to make it happen. Good luck with that. They are way too busy. St. Patty’s day …

Pet of the Week

Here I am.  Waiting for my new human friend.  My sister and I are available for a new home.  I am the smaller one.  I am about four months old, a tailess, intact female.  The ladies here have been wondering if I am part manx.  I am sweet and cuddly. My docket number is BIO18-000044, at the St. Joseph County …

Out and About – Week of March 5th

When you look in the mirror, do you consider yourself good looking? I think most of us consider ourselves to be rather plain. There are some, of course, who think they’re the cat’s meow. I doubt if Madonna or Brad Pitt consider themselves homely. I’m pretty sure that even Ivana Trump looks a bit scary at 4 AM. Please remember …
