I can’t remember the last time we went out to a movie. It has to be at least two or three years ago. It’s not that I don’t like movies, it’s just that I’m not a big fan of the movies that are currently gracing the big screens. Also, if you wait long enough, the movie will eventually hit the …

This week’s column is a continuation of last week’s, so back to the campsite. Thursday, July 21, had a weather forecast of being extremely hot, with a chance of severe thunderstorms. I’m pretty sure that Mother Nature was at one time was a member of the military’s Delta Force. Delta Force has said, “You can run, but you can’t hide.” …

Hi! My name is Lucy and I’m a female tan and brown Doberman, about 6 months old. I am a little shy at first but will warm up to you quickly. I only weigh about 21 pounds right now. I haven’t had a permanent home yet and would really like to have a forever home and be with a family. …

Have you seen any in a tree, possibly by your mailbox or relaxing on your patio? Maybe you are asking yourself, “what in the world is he talking about?” I …

Hi! My name is Cheddar and I am a male tricolor beagle mix. I am about 3-4 years old. You see that smile on my face? That’s because I got a treat every time I had my picture taken. M-m-m-m, I like those treats. I am a little stout, but I like to walk on the leash and could get …

“The customer is always right” is a phrase that has been around for years. Ninety percent of the time, it’s the truth. Let’s concentrate for a moment on the other ten percent. The uninformed might become extremely upset because they were told that they were not allowed to bring outside food or beverages into an eating establishment. The customer thought …

Hi! My name is Matty and I am a female tricolor hound/shepherd mix. I am about 2 years old and have already been spayed. I have a very pretty face and my chest is white with black freckles. I am very good with people and know how to sit. I do like to get some exercise because I am young …

Three Rivers has always been my hometown. I was raised here, then ventured out into the real world soon after graduation from high school. For the next thirty-three years, I lived in the Chicago area, Denver, and Las Vegas. I always thought of Three Rivers as my hometown because of the people and the sense of tranquility that made up …
