We do have a calm side and are so sweet to people and other dogs. $150 adoption fee for each but that includes all the normal stuff.

It sounded like a drug that I wanted no part of. Then, he told me to look it up online. That's when I discovered something so funny that I had to share it with you.

Our Pet of the Week, BRIDGER, was found as a stray in Tell City, and now he is at It Takes a Village and is ready to get adopted (or even fostered). Our friends at ITV guestimate that BRIDGER is probably about three years old, and they're not exactly sure about his breed/mix. They do know that he weighs in at 35 pounds and that he is NOT a fan of cats. The folks who work with BRIDGER every day say he is a "cuddle bug with a goofy personality that loves ropes and balls."

If I am in any kind of deli, there's a 95% chance that I am going to order a BLT sandwich. It's my absolute favorite sandwich and, yes, actually surpasses the grilled cheese for that title.

It's the procedure no one wants to talk or even think about, but it's one we all need because it could save our lives, an annual colon screening. Just reading those two words likely conjures up images in your mind you wish it didn't, but deep down you know getting one is important. Colon Screening for Life, Inc., is an Evansville-based, non-profit 501c (3) organization dedicated to sharing the importance of this potentially life-saving procedure while also attempting to shake the stigma surrounding it. As a non-profit organization, it relies on donations from local businesses and individuals to continue that mission. You can help support the cause by registering for the annual Colon Screening for Life 5K in downtown Evansville.
