An anonymous caller stated in Sound Off in the latest issue of Port Dover Maple Leaf newspaper, http://www.inportdover.com/ssm/, that her mother’s cat was “uncalled maliciously and brutally beaten” on Hallowe’en night this year.

Visit to Marineland

My youngest daughter ( Small ) wanted me to publish a couple pictures from her class trip to Marineland in June of this year, so here they are. Seconds after they were drenched with water by the tail of an Orca. This is below the Orca tank, and those are beluga whales. Pretty neat, huh? [...]

De-Clawing, With a Side of Tooth Removal

We had a delicate visitor this morning, a gorgeous fall morning in Norfolk County. So much for Indian Summer.

This is my Jazzy. When I was a kid, I had this hamster (didn’t everyone??), and her name was Charlotte. She looked just like my cat, even the yellow eyes! LOL Jazz has lived with me since ’04, but she’s probably about 7 years old. She was a rescue from an abusive household, and I [...]
