Hello. We are Ella and Charlie. We came from the same home and are neutered and spayed and are current with our shots. Charlie is a tri-color male beagle, about 7 years old. He also has a microchip. I (Ella) am also tri-color and about 2 years. We both know our names and walk nicely on a leash. We are …

If you are considering opening a business here in Three Rivers, you really might want to give this some serious thought. This is strictly my opinion based on what I’ve seen and heard from local business owners. Growing up here in Three Rivers, I am fully aware that things are different now than they were fifty years ago. We can …

  Puurrrrr, Please come in and see me. I am a beautiful black, intact male, three years old. My eyes are so dark. The ladies here at Animal Control tell me I deserve a single cat home with mature humans. The staff here just discovered that I eat better when given cooked chicken. Won’t you please make me part of …

A couple of weeks ago, I accompanied my wife to a brief reunion of her classmates from grade school and high school. The purpose of the get together was to take a tour of her grade school in Kalamazoo, which is scheduled for demolition. The school was built in the 1920s, so many children have passed through the doors of …

Lately, I’ve been giving some serious thought to manhole covers. They are round so that they won’t fall into the hole they cover, but that’s just about all I know about them. What’s under those cast iron objects that appear at least once on every city block? If I were to open one up and crawl inside, would I discover …

Hello. My name is Terry and I am a male brown and black terrier mix, with a little white chest. I’m about 5-6 years old and weigh about 30 pounds – just the right size for a family. I have already been neutered and because I am not a young whippersnapper I have good manners and am not popping up …

Peanut butter and bologna? What a combination! I really like peanut butter sandwiches, but not made with just peanut butter. I have never tried a peanut butter and banana combination, although I’ve been told that it’s really pretty tasty, so I’ll add that to my bucket list of sandwiches. I have had peanut butter with slices of dill pickle, and …

Hi. We are Abbott and Costello. We are about 12 weeks old and both of us are orange and white males. We are very cute. One of us is much quieter than the other but we aren’t telling you which. You will have to come in to see us and cuddle us to see which one is which. Both of …

I can safely say that we are all a little guilty of pre-judging people. I know that I have done it many times. First impressions can be beneficial, but they can also be detrimental. How many times have we been swayed by some well-dressed individual, who turns out to be a snake oil salesperson? How many times have we ignored …
