DRESSING UP
In the May/June 2012 issue of Pets Magazine, William J. Thomas wrote an interesting article and gave a huge ‘Thumbs Down’ to dressing up your pet in clothing. His article was well written. I could almost hear his voice and as I kept reading I could feel a ‘little...
From the Editor…
As I sit down to finally write the editorial this week I am unsure where to begin. I recently read the Flood Mitigation Report for Perth-Andover and Tobique First Nation as well as many news articles about the report and its recommendations. I have heard and read many comments...
Shame and Arrogance of NB Power
How is it possible that a corporation owned by the taxpayers of New Brunswick is allowed by our elected government to conduct its affairs with total disregard for the safety and personal property of those same taxpayers? How has this corporation been allowed to steal our very livelihood and...
Flood Mitigation Study Report – An Insult to Perth-Andover Flood Victims
Well, we finally got our report – right on schedule I might add. What a colossal waste of taxpayer money and valuable time! Our government insisted from the start that this report was absolutely essential and would serve as the basis of action so that the plight of our...

Hi! Big Tig again….I wanted to tell you guys about a cat that lives with us. Her name is Marble. She makes us kittens call her ‘Miss Marble’, and she is always telling us to stop bothering her. Angie says it is because she is an older cat, and...
Pet Tails

SPCA & Attachment Issues
The most common question I get asked as a shelter worker is…”how can you come here every day! Don’t you get too attached to all of them?”….well, yes, we fall in love with all of them, fast and hard, how could we not?…I can speak for every volunteer we...
