“I’m a 10-year-old neutered male. I’m looking for a warm and inviting family with whom I can spend my golden years among. In spite of my senior-status, I am strong and energetic. However, I do have one important health con- sideration: I have kidney disease, so I eat a special diet and need to be watched to make sure I am drinking appropriate amounts of water. For me this means wet food and some- times soaking my food in water. Call today to learn more!”

The young and the restless

Many years ago, when my son was a budding teenager, I got into a heated debate with him after coming home from baseball practice. The details are foggy, but my recollection is that I was disappointed with his effort that day, so I lectured him about the benefits of focus and hard work. I’ll admit…

Bees are at home in natural holes and hollows
