North Carolina Dogs Need Homes

This was forwarded to Our Place to Paws:

Hi Neighbors. I hate to be an animal pusher, but even more, I'd hate to
see these dogs assigned to a terminal study. If you have any questions
please send them directly to Angel Rollins at the vet school (see contact
below). These dogs must find homes before the month is out.

Thanks for listening.

All,
LAR has 9 dogs available to be adopted out immediately. These dogs have
been offered before and we had no takers. These dogs will go to a
terminal study if we do not have any takers before May 30th. We would
much rather see these dogs, who have given so much to research, go to a
good home to live out the rest of their lives but can not keep them here
any longer. Please contact me before May 30th if you are interested.

Animals along the way

We went for a bike ride in upstate, N.Y. this past weekend and saw some beautiful wildlife. We're always on the lookout for beaver huts, and we saw plenty of those...but no beavers. While we were admiring one of the huts along an out-of-the-way dirt road, however, we looked up and saw a graceful great blue heron fishing in the middle of a swampy area.

Next, while riding along a well-traveled route, we looked down a hill and saw a large doe staring up at us through some trees. We stopped and looked at her for a while, until she took off in the opposite direction, her white tail disappearing fast.

Finally, just before we turned for home, I spotted a red-winged black bird flying nearby, it's bright red feathers unmistakable.

We didn't have a camera with us, unfortunately!

Again, Our Hearts Are Broken

I said I would never watch another horse race after Barbaro died, and so I was not watching the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. Still, the news reached me of course, and it is hard to bear.
