It’s becoming more and more difficult to tell the difference between the makes of cars these days. Back in the Fifties this problem didn’t exist. Back then there were no KIAs or other many other foreign cars here in the USA. General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler dominated the automotive market. Now, it’s next to impossible to tell the year of …

Everyone here at Animal Control calls me an orphan. They named me “Carson”. I kind of like that name. They are surprised that I eat and drink on my own. I am butterscotch orange and I like to be held, but soon I start climbing shoulders and scurrying all around. I will be available May 17th – I have to …

Welcome to the month of April. We’ll have to see if “April showers will bring May flowers”. My how time flies. This month marks ten years that I’ve been putting this column together. I’ve loved every minute of it, because the column gives me the opportunity to share my thoughts and adventures with you readers. I’ve learned a lot about …

“We’re all just kids who grew up way too fast.” As a child, I remember thinking to myself, “I can’t wait until I am older.” Life would be so much easier if I was an adult, or so I thought. Of course, as an adult you quickly realize that life is not always as easy as you dreamed it would …

Hi! My name is Yoshi and I am a female lab/redbone mix. I’m about 7 or 8 months old and am very friendly. I like to play with other dogs and like to chase balls and just be with people. My long ears are soft as moss and they flop when I play. I am current with my rabies shots. …
