News Reel - Cat Police

Ok, this is a bit off topic, but I enjoyed reading it so I thought I would share. I do have a cat related blog, but I don't have time to update both this one and that ... I may take up the torch again sometime, but not right now.



So without further ado, here is an OT article about cats Municipal cat police taking things a bit too fur. This creeps me out.

DogsDeserveFreedom - Economics, Dogs and Volunteering

The economic state of the world sucks. Plain and simple. Some prices have gone up, some have gone down and most people don't want to spend money because they are afraid they may not have a job in another month.


I was going to start this blog entry with some wordy paragraph, blah blah blah, but I'm not good at that stuff. There are a great many other bloggers out there who have some wonderful

Featured Rescue - Black Labrador Retriever

Well I haven't posted all weekend ... I haven't even done any Entrecard drops all weekend either! I apologize, but things have been hectic around here. Why does that seem to be the norm lately?

As always, here are the rules ... 1. No bashing other peoples' opinions. (Friendly banter only.)2. Post your opinion!3. Have fun!

Featured Rescue - Sherman the Bassett Hound

I ran across this guy on Petfinder and again have to wonder why rescues use such dreadful names. Statistics show that cute names adopt out faster than names like "Sherman". I asked the same question about that Border Collie named "Eubie".





This guy is 10 years old. Being a senior, he is already going to have a tough time finding a new home, let alone the fact that his eyes don't produce tears

Followup GTB

Thought I'd do my followup for the Guess the Breed that have been posted. I will do future followup on the posts themselves at the bottom, but for today I figured I'd put all the ones we've done so far in one post.


I was going to do this post yesterday but ended up spending a lot of time playing telephone tag ... someone left two 7 month old pups at a vet clinic. They were dropped off for their
