Well, here I am at Animal Control. Oh how I love to talk. When anybody walks by my unit I start meowing. I am a beautiful Black and white, female kitten. I am five months old. I am sharing this unit with my brother. I am ready to find my new home. My docket number is BIO17-000267, at the St. …

Next Monday is Labor Day. This is generally the last chance to participate in the usual summer activities. It’s a national holiday, so there will be no mail delivery and the banks will be closed, and most importantly, there will be no garbage pick-up that day. As a result, everyone’s trash will be picked up one day later than usual. …

They call me “Poppi”. I am a one and 1/2 year old, neutered male Chihuahua mix. I love the people here at Animal Control, and I like kids I have met. However the staff here wonder if I am stubborn, or if I need more opportunity for housebreaking. If I spend time with the staff in the front office I …

A final reflection on our week of camping. There was a time when sleeping in a tent was real camping. Some still consider it the only way to go. Two days before we broke camp, a family settled in next to our site. I was amazed at how much they enjoyed setting up their site. They had a family-sized tent …

If you want quaintness, all you need to do is visit Shipshewana, Indiana, located about a half-hour southeast of Three Rivers on Indiana Highway 5. We spent a weekend there recently visiting with other Lion friends. It was sort of a reunion. We had all gathered there five years ago, when the Lions of Michigan held their State Convention at …

They call me “Tenor”. I guess because I have a beautiful voice. I am about three years old, maybe a collie mix. I am neutered and weigh 66 pounds. I am friendly and I love to play on the agility equipment here in the play yard. The ladies here say I am partially housebroken. I would like to find my …

I’ve never considered myself a party animal. I’m not a “teetotaler”, but I do believe that you don’t have to drink to have an enjoyable time. The consumption of alcohol is glorified on television more and more these days. I remember one commercial that showed a lady picking up necessary groceries in preparation for an upcoming storm. The last thing …
