/ October 11, 2014Iris Grace is a 5 year old girl with autism who paints and has a therapy cat. The last photo in the article shows an amazing painting. Look for the cat’s eyes in the painting.

/ October 11, 2014What an amazing story. Thula and Iris Grace surely have a special connection. The last painting is something else . . . The love between a cat and her person – wonderful story.
Karen F
/ October 11, 2014Extraordinary — the girl, the cat, the paintings, the bond. Thanks so much for this.
Arlene
/ October 11, 2014It appears to be one of the shortest time a job was held for killing dogs. She was fired for killing dogs outside of the facility’s “last resort” policy. http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/director-lake-county-animal-services-fired-after-a/nhggH/

/ October 12, 2014Good for them! Hope our new director beats this one. He starts tomorrow . . . sigh. Bet Florida was delighted to be rid of him. Now we have Matt Pepper at the helm of Michigan Humane and Mr Seltz in Ingham County in Michigan. Prayers for all of the animals that come in contact with either of these organizations!
Clarice
/ October 13, 2014It is reported 18 dogs and 2 cats were killed in one day.

/ October 11, 2014Criminal Complaint Filed Against NYC Animal “Care” & Control
Good news!! Here is the six page affidavit accompanied by a blog about its filing:

/ October 11, 2014It’s spider season. We’re not the only ones watching in amazement as the spiders carry out their engineering feats:

/ October 11, 2014And speaking of spiders (and rats, and cliff swallows), apparently they’re changing, and quite rapidly:

Arlene
/ October 11, 2014I am so sad, so upset, and just plain old angry. My heart hurts for these horses that were once wild and free. Now BLM has chased them with helicopters, rounded them up and stuffed them into holding pens. Over 1200 horses from this area that were once and still should be free to roam our nations land. OUR LAND. The reason they were removed? Ranchers who pay pennies on the dollar for grazing fees. Money and greed.
Please, take a few minutes and read what’s been gong on. Our government is not taking care to preserve our wild horses for future generations. Instead they have taken them to overcrowded holding pens and our grand old stallions and mares will no doubt be sent to slaughter. The young ones will be sold. The rest? Who knows. Today I loathe this government.

/ October 12, 2014Looks like a Dallas dog has a much better outlook than the Spanish dog with the Ebola patient. http://www.9news.com/story/news/nation/2014/10/12/dallas-ebola-health-worker-dog/17159727/
YesBiscuit
/ October 13, 2014Sounds like AC is getting involved. If that happens, I am far more worried for the dog’s safety, having nothing to do with ebola.
Clarice
/ October 13, 2014All animal controls make me nervous. Here is Bentley, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, being removed from his home by Dallas Animal Services.

/ October 13, 2014Medina County Animal Shelter decides to let very pregnant dog have her puppies at the shelter rather than contact a rescue group. Then they adopt out the puppies at six weeks old, despite the fact that it’s against the law –

Someone shared this link online. I don’t subscribe to it so don’t know what it says.
