October is a big month for sports fans everywhere. College football and the NFL are well underway, the NBA is just getting started and for me, the best of all, HOCKEY season is upon us. In the midst of it all, however, is America’s pastime, which seems to take a back seat to everything else in the wide, world of …

Hi! My name is Denozo and I am a tiger and white male cat. I’m about 7 years old and I have the best of everything – I’m already neutered, I am declawed on my front paws and am litter-trained. I have never been outside so I am a real inside baby. And, I LOVE my shark house that I’m …

Visiting Honolulu is nice, but it doesn’t mean that you have really been to the true Hawaii. There is so much more to see and do. The same can be said for Michigan. Kalamazoo and the Three Rivers area are also very nice, but to experience the true Michigan, I feel you should venture north of Grand Rapids. As a …

I’ll start this week’s column by trying to get myself out of the dog house. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote on the subject of Living Wills. If I came across suggesting that a Living Will is the way to go, I apologize. I did some reading on the subject, and it seemed like a good idea. I do …

Hi! My name is Maggie and I’m a female tricolor Walker Hound, about 2 years old. I am already spayed and am very good with people. Take me for a car ride and I am pleased as punch. I walk well on a leash, am crate trained and am housebroken. I do well with other dogs, too. The lady who …
