There is a plane visiting almost monthly taking pets to other areas where they are likely to be adopted. Others are transported out of the area by ground every so often as well! Think about the numbers here!!! Let’s, as a community, become more aware and on board to help with spay and neuter programs. At least call on our neighbors with pets to stand accountable and get our pet population under control.
ALL YOU NEED TO ATTEND AN AA MEETING IS A DESIRE TO QUIT. If you have, or think you might have, a drinking problem, we meet at 6:30 pm on Thursday at the Big Bend Church, just north of the post office.
