Chicago's No. 23 prospect regaining his swing and momentum. Just two years ago, Brennen Davis was the star of the Cubs’ farm system and one of the most highly regarded prospects in all of baseball.

I first encountered a rat one evening in a Target parking lot. When my daughter told me it was a rat, I went straight to the car and she went to get a photo of it since she's never seen one before. I assure you it wasn't little.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys.

As a lifelong Wyoming hunter, I, like so many others I’ve spoken to since, was totally disgusted when I first read the news stories and saw the images of the torture and killing of a young wolf in Daniel, Wyoming. I was overwhelmed with outrage over the disturbing way this seriously injured animal was paraded around. Was there nothing we could do to stop this kind of torturous cruelty?

Ten-year-old George arrived at FAAS in February, terribly scared and with his coat in horrendous condition. The neglect he’d been through broke our staff’s hearts. Luckily he was almost immediately swept up by a very kind regular FAAS foster, Jamie Minas, and has been getting back on his feet ever since. (Those feet are very little, as you can see from the photo of his visit to the Thrifty Kitty, where he got his paws measured on the foot-sizing device.)
