P&C friends, I’m taking a bit of a long weekend and stepping away from the computer (I hope!). I don’t even want to pay bills or see what classmates have found me from schools I never went to (you get that spam too? drives me crazy!) In the meantime, however, Stanley will be keeping an [...]

Got this the other day on behalf of the people who bring you “Animal Magnet Pet Radio.” Personally, I prefer to read me, but then again, I don’t have guests and you can listen to these guys at work without anyone knowing, which is hard to do with a blog. So I give you permission [...]

As I told P&C friend Joan when she e-mailed me this info, “Joan, you’re killing me!!!” I’d be scooping these babes up, but I’ve already got Spike on the maybe list, aside from which, I still only have my 1-bedroom apartment and limited litter box space. However, there has to be someone out there who [...]

….get them to the Yonkers Animal Shelter. As P&C friend Leslie reports, “The dogs are cold and the runs are drafty…By this time we usually have more blankets that we can store, but for some reason this year donations have dwindled while, unfortunately, our dog population has not!!!

I always like to hear when a pet that LoHud.com and The Journal News has promoted for adoption finally gets a home. Well, after waiting a long, long time, Maybelle has hit her jackpot.

The city of Peekskill in Westchester celebrated the opening of its new dog park at Tompkins Park on Saturday and yep, you guessed it, they made it a Halloween event with dressed up dogs!! The park has been in the making for the past 16 months as a joint partnership between the city and the [...]

While that won’t bring back this family’s pet, at least someone will be held responsible. Miles, you may recall, was an 11-year-old Siberian husky who was killed by a bow hunter in Blauvelt State Park, where bow hunting happens to be illegal. You can read the updated story here. RIP Miles.

This was forwarded down the line to me, and I promised to put out the call for more adoptions, so here you go.
Chuck’s story:
Chuck was owned by an elderly man who doted on and adored him. One day, the man fell down the stairs (Chuck had no hand – paw – in this) and [...]

She’s a pound! And close to celebrating her 7-week birthday. Sheesh, this kitty kills me with her adorableness. Had the great pleasure the other night of holding and playing with her, and feeding her, for a couple of hours. Oh heaven. She is so alert, loves to be looked at, give kisses, nibble and wrestle. [...]

OK, I think it’s safe to say that scratch posts do not make for the most pleasing home decor, especially some of the monstrosities they sell that look like carpeted tree houses. Me, I have the simple roped, beige one that Stanley loves just fine.But this is ridiculous.My colleague Noreen alerted me to this NY [...]
