Hi! I’m Foxy and I am a male dilute gray cat, about 7-8 months old. I must have Siamese in me because I really like to talk and I have some beautiful blue eyes. I’m a little scared but am very friendly and love any attention you can give to me. I’m good about using my litter box, too. Please …

I am getting very close to surrendering my driver’s license. On a recent trip to Ann Arbor, we had to use I-94. I hate this highway beyond words. The speed limit for cars is 70 miles per hour, yet if you drive the limit, you will find yourself being passed by cars doing at least 80 or 85. The speed …

As I scoured my email the other day, sorting out the spam from the emails that I actually needed to read, one in particular caught my eye. The subject line made me nervous, so I hesitated opening it.

Shortly after my wife and I were married back in 2003, we started thinking about leaving apartment life behind and buying our first house. The decision to take the plunge to purchase a house was very easy. Everything else that goes along with house hunting however, was not as simple. We never had any “knock down, drag out” fights while …

Spring officially arrived a week ago yesterday, March 20. When it will feel like spring, remains to be seen. One day we are able to wear lighter clothing, then the next day we find ourselves scraping the frost off our car windows. I guess Mother Nature is having difficulty making up her mind, so we’ll just have to wait until …

Hi! My name is Melody and I am a female tan and white chihuahua mix. I’m 3 years old and about as cute as can be. If you want a dog who fits just right in your lap, I’m your girl. I’m the perfect size for being a traveling pup, too. And, how about those cute freckles on my legs? …

I consider myself to be one of the luckiest guys around. I’m retired, so I have plenty of time to do what I want, or what needs to be done, and if I don’t get things done today, there’s always tomorrow. I volunteer with several groups and try my best to be a good citizen and a nice guy. Most …
