I ran across this poem about the life of a feral cat that I just wanted to share.

Today is “Giving Tuesday.”  It is actually the second annual event meant to inspire philanthropy and community service across the nation. It is a movement to create a national day of giving to kick off the giving season.  It takes place annually on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving.

How many of you have Twitter and Instagram accounts? You can have some fun on Thanksgiving by sharing with PetSmart Charities and the world what your pet is thankful for. This activity is being encouraged by PetSmart Charities, a 501(c)(3) organization, separate from PetSmart, Inc., that is committed to helping homeless pets.

A friend of mine fosters dogs, Huskies to be exact.  He told me that one of the questions he is most frequently asked is, “How can you give a dog up after you’ve fostered it for several months?”  His best answer was found in a poem that he felt explained it beautifully.  He shared it with me, and now I want to share it with you.

It was an evening if rip roaring comedy for guests to the debut of “Odd Burbs” hosted by comedian Anthony Locascio on Saturday, November 9, 2013.  A private event held at Grape Finale in Flemington, the format featured four local businesses in a rather humorous way in order to create awareness of some unique business activities going on in the “suburbs.”

I thought this was a nice Veteran’s Day story. To coincide with this Veteran’s Day in 2013, the Guardians of Rescue based in New York delivered a German Shepard to Marine Lance Corporal Ryan Rankins, a veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

This new line of treats for dogs, My Dog Ate It, really caught my attention. Why?  Not only do they give a donation to the Humane Society of Skagit Valley, Washington, for every bag sold, they promote it with laughter as the main ingredient. How can one go wrong?

The FDA needs your help.  In their website update for consumers published October 22, 2013, they are asking anyone who has had a dog or cat that became ill after eating jerky pet treats to please contact them.

Today, October 16, we are celebrating National Feral Cat Day 2013. Alley Cat Allies launched National Feral Cat Day® on their 10th anniversary in 2001 to raise awareness about feral cats, promote Trap-Neuter-Return, and recognize the millions of compassionate Americans who care for them.
