2-1⁄2-years-old. Female. English Bulldog mix. Brindle and white. I am an easy going gal that may seem a little on the lazy side but don’t be fooled, I enjoy brisk walks and need regular exercise with a careful diet to stay trim.

Thatcher is a tall and slender, handsome 1-year-old kitty. Thatcher is a very curious boy that loves to explore the great outdoors, and if he had a feline buddy to accompany him he would be even more happy! Don’t have another cat, Thatcher has made many feline friends while here so why not adopt two?

“I’m a 4-year-old neutered male. I am thankful a sweet soul found me for I have been able to receive the medical care I needed. You see, I have a disease the humans call Progres- sive Retinal Atrophy. I’ve probably had it since birth, but the hard part about this disease is it gets worse with time, so while I am not fully blind right now, I will be blind in the future. However, this disease is not painful. I am an affec- tionate, friendly guy — I just soak up the attention! Though, I must admit, I do have moments of frustration. Patience and perhaps keeping the furniture arranged the same way is key. So, if you have room in your heart and home, call us.”

 My son was barely 10 years old when we moved into our most recent home. On the day we arrived, I told him to get on his bike and ride around the neighborhood to look for kids to play with. Without concern or care, he promptly did just that.  I knew when he didn’t come…

Black willow provides many ecological benefits 

September 11, 2024
I often spot black willow trees as I’m kayaking along a riverbank or lakeshore. While perhaps less picturesque than its (non-native) cousin the weeping willow, black willow is native to the Northeast and provides a host of ecological benefits. Willow trees are in the Salix genus, along with pussy willow and more than 20 other…
