We receive wonderful stories of TCHS alumni on a regular basis, and we want to offer our sincere thanks to all who take the time to share them with us. We are invested in each and every pet we care for, and we want the best for them! THIS is why we do what we do. Why you give, volunteer, adopt, and encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same.
2019 Happy "Tails"
Click the name to read the whole story!
Lucy came to us in February. To say the transition to a new environment stressed her out would be an understatement. Sassy Lucy would have no part of making friends with us when she got here. She’d hiss and swat at anyone who got close to her kennel. It took almost two months, a lot of TLC, and a little medication to win Lucy over. On March 28th, Lucy found her purrfect match. Below is an update from her new family proving that happiness can be found in a new environment.
Today we have a tale of a dog who spent quite a bit of time in the shelter before he found his perfect match. Severus, a retriever mix, was with us for roughly two months before he was adopted in late January.
Here’s a (lovely) story indeed. Tri-County Humane Society (TCHS) had a recent adoption success that shows what can happen when the whole community – staff, volunteers, and well-meaning members of the public – come together.
Larry came to us in February as a stray and he was in pretty rough shape. He was dehydrated, had fleas, ear-mites and multiple infected wounds from cat fights. After a few rounds of fluids, flea medication, deworming, cleaning his wounds and a lot of TLC, we were able to find Larry a wonderful new home to bring happiness to where he can stay indoors being safe and loved. Here’s an update from his new family:
Hera came from another facility after being held for her stray time and never claimed. She only spent about a week at TCHS before her adventure in a new home commenced. Here is an update from her family.
Barrel came to us on October of 2018 as part of a litter that were found as strays. She was in rough shape; dehydrated, underweight and had a serious injury to her eye. With medical treatment, surgery to remove her eye and a lot of TLC, she was adopted by her foster family nearly 5 months later.
Baylee came to us in March because her owners realized having a pup was more work than they anticipated. She only spent 2 short days with us before finding her new best friend. This is another example of how, with your help, we’re able to make happiness happen!
Audio came to us in early January of this year because his previous owner no longer had a home to keep him in. While here, Audio took quite a bit of time to adjust and trust us. He was displaying some guarding behavior in his kennel and was quite unapproachable at first. It took a lot of patience and a little advice from a dog trainer, but Audio was finally cleared for adoption. On February 19th, Audio got a new home and a new name. Here is an update from his new family:
This adoption story comes from Kate Kompas, Volunteer and Events Coordinator at TCHS:
"One of the best things about working at Tri-County Humane Society (TCHS) is that I get to see adoptions happen most days, and sometimes even help write people’s adoption stories to share them with TCHS friends.
From our March 2019 newsletter, another great story that makes you wonder - "Who Rescued Who?"
Zeus came to us last year in August because his previous owners were unable to manage his epilepsy. After some testing and evaluation from our staff veterinarian, we were comfortable finding him a new home to call his own. In all, Zeus was with us for 17 days before hitting the jackpot with his new family. Here’s their update:
Denver came to us in December of 2017 because he didn’t appreciate the company of the dog in his previous home. He was only with us for 5 short days before finding his new soulmate. Here’s the update she sent us:
Chunk came to TCHS on January 27th with a transport from a rescue in Tennessee. He didn't stay with us long. He found his new family on February 1st!
Kali came to us in January of 2016 because her previous owners lost their home and could no longer care for her. She spent just over a week with us before finding her new family. I have attached a photo from her stay at the shelter as well.
This is a loving tribute to a cat who found his way into his human's life and stayed there for many, many wonderful years.
Ivie went from kennel kooky to a total cutie in her new home! Ivie came into TCHS in early January because her previous owner moved and couldn’t bring her along.
Kratos came to the shelter at 1.5 years old, he was too high energy for the family to deal with at that time. He was adopted and returned a few days later because he needed more exercise than they could give him.
Willy, a 4 year old Guinea Pig, came to us in December because his previous owner's health no longer afforded them the ability to care for him.
This is a tale of a dog whose fortunes changed dramatically in a short amount of time.
One of the best parts of Tri-County Humane Society is when staff and volunteers get to see animals transform from shy or scared in their kennels to outgoing and confident in their new homes.
Liam came to us in August as a timid stray. He spent several weeks in foster care for socialization before landing an awesome new home on December 9th.
Ricky came to us in October with 2 feline friends looking for new homes. This sweet but super shy kitten hid in the back of his kennel for the majority of his stay, making it tough for potential adopters to see his true potential.

2018 and earlier:
Animals offer many versions of therapy to people, don’t they? Like the dog last week that learned to alert her person when her blood sugar was high or low, this cat figured out his job right away as well. No one had to tell her to smile for the camera!
Background: This young lady is on the autism spectrum and her kitty that helped her had passed away last year. Her mom adopted ‘Ollie Furman’ for her at the beginning of this year and they have been inseparable ever since. He immediately gave her kisses, snuggles, and purrs. Seven months later and he is still her best friend helping her through anything and everything—he’s just a little more filled out now.
“Thanks again for helping a girl find her best friend and comfort.”
Lola was one of ten dogs transported from Florida where an over-abundance of abandoned dogs roam the deserted areas of town. Redland Rockpit Abandoned Dogs Project spend several hours a day feeding and catching these dogs. Her foster family had just moved to Florida and found Lola wandering the neighborhood. Typically, these pups are timid and shy, but Lola is the type of dog that smiles through any situation. She was one of the first pups to warm up to us after their long trek to the shelter - thanks to their SAFE (Shelly Adams’ Furbaby Express) transport. We think she's always had a bit of Minnesota Nice in her. After spending less than a week in the shelter, Lola was scooped up by State Representative Tama Theis for her son and daughter-in-law in Wisconsin. Don't worry, we've confirmed with Lola that she'll remain a Vikings fan! Her son used to live in and do foster care for dogs in Florida so it was truly a meant-to-be placement. We can’t wait to see and share future updates!
We bought Harry from you guys 8 years ago. We thought we were getting a cuddly, laid back kitten and we ended up with this little character that is more like a person than a cat. We love him so much and are grateful for him every day! (Even though he is always trying to steal our food or sneak outside.) Lol
Thought I would give an update on how Logan’s doing
He fits right in with all the animals...hissing the first night but that's it. He has chosen our 7 year old daughter as his human, she calls his name and he comes running.
We love him and wouldn't trade him for anything.
We have had Hooper "formerly Cooper" a year. He has been such a wonderful addition to our family. He has been wonderful for our other dog, Maverick. They have become best buddies. Hooper is a total momma's boy. He LOVES to play fetch and cuddle at night. He is truly a wonderful dog and living an amazing life. Everyone he encounters loves him and he loves them back. He is our second rescue from Tri-County and is just as wonderful as Huckleberry (adopted March 2006). Thank you for what you do, connecting families with fur babies.
I just wanted to send you an update! We bought our kitten (5 months old at the time) from you guys this past year. He had already been in the shelter two different times at that point and didn't work for them. We got him and he fit right in! He is so amazing with kids! My oldest (4 years old) calls him his baby and named him Curry after his favorite basketball player, Stephen Curry. We nicknamed him Purry Curry. We just had another child in January and he's so loving with him! We've had such a great experience with this adoption! I have been involved with the shelter ever since I can remember, whether fundraising or volunteering. I am busy working full time as a police officer and still in the military, so I haven't been able to participate in the walk the past couple of years or volunteer, but I appreciate everything you guys do!
We adopted our kitty Nala at the end of December, and she is just the perfect addition to our family! She is so affectionate, purrs like crazy all the time, you can almost see the smile of content on her face. Our kids asked for a cat for nearly 3 years, and when they combined their Christmas money together to pay for one themselves we couldn't say no! Now we wonder, what on earth took us so long to say yes? We just love her so much! Thank you for introducing her to us, and making it possible for her to join our family! Even our beloved dog Emma has adjusted so well to her! We can't thank you enough! She's been such a joy I just needed to say thank you!
Emma came to us in February as an immediate evaluation because she was having accidents outside of the litterbox. Due to her age, her previous owners thought euthanasia may be her only option. We thought we should check into things further before making that decision. Emma was not pleased to be here initially and was rather fractious in the cat room. After some time and patience, we were able to evaluate her and found that she in fact had a Urinary Tract Infection that needed treatment. She was treated and cleared of her UTI and other than some arthritis due to her age, appeared to be in good health. After Emma warmed up to us we started allowing her to spend her days in the conference room since she seemed much more comfortable in there. A simple baby gate kept her contained as she had no desire nor ability to jump over it. Emma was much more relaxed and very affectionate when spending time up front. She soon became a staff and volunteer favorite and was affectionately nicknamed Emma Lou Shamoo.
On May 17th, a very sweet woman called the shelter with questions about Emma. Less than a half hour later she was here to take Emma home. Emma’s new mom was smitten with her the moment she laid eyes on her and a wonderful match was made. When we told her that Emma’s adoption fee had already been paid, she excitedly responded with “How can something this sweet be free?!” We are excited for future updates on how Emma is being spoiled in her new retirement home.
We adopted Zeus the cat (previously known as Don) in July 2015. He and our Boston Terrier, Apollo, are best buds and like to cuddle and bathe each other on a regular basis. He is also my daughter's favorite little friend and he is sooo gentle and tolerant of her. He is affectionately known as "Mau" to her and she loves her kitty. I can't help but feel like he has a little bit of the spirit of my old childhood cat in him. They're almost identical!
Thanks for helping us find the "Mau" we were looking for!
Here's an update on Stuart: He adopted us on 10-9-16 and has been the center of our world ever since. We forget that he's deaf because he is so well behaved. He is so incredibly sweet and gentle. Some of his favorite things to do are play tug o war with his "babies", go on walks around the neighborhood, sleep in on the weekend (his spot in bed is right between mom and dad, head almost on the pillow), take lots of naps, and sit on the back of the couch to keep an eye on things outside. He gets along with other dogs (mom and dad we're babysitting two other older pups for extended periods of time, and he has a new big sister named Dumpling, who is part Newfoundland and Black Lab) and demands the attention of anyone new who comes to the house. Stuart has been such a blessing to us and we can't imagine life without him!
I just wanted to Thank You again for blessing me with Bella (formerly known as Gertrude).
She is the Best Dog I've ever had. There was a connection between us from the beginning.
We rescued each other!!!
She's my protector and never leaves my side. I couldn't imagine life without her. She truly is a blessing - my guardian angel.
On my 1st encounter, I was lost in those eyes. We both were lost and found each other. I struggle with depression and anxiety. She can read my feelings to a tee. She knows exactly what & when I need snuggling.
Our story isn't over; it's just beginning! Thank you for a new beginning.
I adopted Sampson a couple weeks ago and promised to send an update and some photos as he settles in!
Sampson has been doing great - he's such a wonderful, sweet boy and has charmed everyone he meets. We've been going on lots of hikes and long walks. He's loving coming on all the car rides as I run errands, and all-in-all he's an absolute joy I can't believe I ever lived without! He went to the vet last week to get updated on his shots. This weekend we're starting training classes to work on some off-leash commands, and hopefully in a couple months we'll be going on a camping trip up in the Canadian Rockies. So very exciting things on the way for Sampson!
I've attached some of my favorite pictures from the past couple weeks, hope you guys enjoy them :).
Thank you again for all your help and I'm so, so happy he's part of the family now!
Iris and Sage
Both Iris and Sage (which were temporary names at intake) were in need of some TLC as you will see in the “before” picture. I won’t have to tell you which picture is the before shot, but notice the other dog is in the back corner They were later renamed Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo. We were unable to tell their age due to them being too frightened of having their mouth touched. Both were very skittish but would allow petting. We couldn’t even tell if they were a boy or girl at first because of the massive clumps of fur and fecal matter. The lady who brought them in got them from her 80 year old neighbor who just found out she had cancer. She asked that they be taken to us so we could find a new home for them since she wasn’t able to care for them.
One of our valued volunteers came in to give them a transformation of great proportion. Both were adopted last Friday and today’s follow-up calls report they are perfect dogs and well-trained. Scrappy Doo is now named Norman which fits his new dignified appearance.
Esme came to the shelter as a stray in January. She came down with an upper respiratory infection and spent some time in a foster home before she was adopted. After spending almost two months with us, Esme was adopted on March 10th. Her new family has named her Bella and sent us this update:
We adopted Esme, now Bella, last Friday and we couldn't be happier! She's adjusted so well and is causing trouble during the day and sleeping with us all night. Thank you for everything you did for her!!
Rudy came to us in December because her owner passed away. Rudy was a finicky cat and would have good days and bad days during her stay at the shelter. When Rudy was sweet, she was really sweet. When Rudy had cattitude, Rudy really had cattitude! Rudy strongly dislikes other cats, so being in the cat room alongside 30+ other felines was WAY out of her comfort zone. She was crabby, to say the least, and not presenting herself well to adopters. We decided to move Rudy to a separate area in the shelter where she wouldn’t have any kitty neighbors, which did wonders to improve her mood, but this also meant she was less visible to customers. Her description on the website included a note that she could be visited upon request, we posted her on Facebook, and then we crossed our fingers.
Rudy’s cattitude took a back seat when she was with Laura, one of our amazing animal care employees (also resident cat whisperer). If someone wanted to meet Rudy, Laura would be the one to introduce them so people would be more apt to see Rudy’s good side. Rudy stayed with us for 2 months before finding her new home.
Here is an update from her new Mom:
She is nothing like she was described: in a good way! She has shown no attitude and is super cuddly all the time. She loves her toys and is adapting well! She's eating and using the litter box as well. She just doesn't quite have a schedule down yet so she likes to try and play during nighttime but that will get better with time. She's so sweet.
The first time I met Grizzle, formerly Shadow, my mother had pointed the little black ball of fluff out to me. He was huddled in the back of a cage filled with other kittens. He didn’t seem too concerned about anything other than the fact that we’d just woke him up from a nap. He seemed so small to me, my first kitten, and after a few minutes with him I knew that we were going to take him home.
Grizzle came home with us to help fill a hole in our household. We had recently lost our cat, Molly, who had been with us for thirteen years. It soon became obvious to each of us how large that hole really was, after a few weeks without her. After bringing Grizzle home for the first time, each of us was excited to go visit him in the room we’d secluded him to for the first two weeks (mind you this was necessary due to the fact that he was sick with an upper respiratory infection and we had another cat in the household). It was fun to go and sit with him, have him crawl all over you and explore his surroundings before settling on your lap to sleep like the dead, showing us just how much of a kitten he was and still is. (He’s actually sleeping on me right now, as I’m writing this. Little goof-nut complains every time I move too much.)
The name Grizzle comes from the color of his fur. When we first met him he was a little black fluff, but some silver/grey tips peeking out here and there. So logically, our first thought was a silver tipped grizzly bear. Well Dad’s first thought was Killer, but we nixed that. So, Grizzle it was, and the name is only reinforced now that certain parts of his fur have been overtaken by grey. This leaves him with a grey butt and underside of his tail, a bit of it crawling up his back, and the strangest little tuft just above his nose.
I’d have to say the funniest quirk he has is his love of playing fetch. Yes, fetch. I wasn’t actually convinced he was a cat at first. After my mother had changed out her shoelaces one day, he got ahold of one of the discarded laces and started dragging it around. We only discovered his adoration for the sport when he dropped the string in front of us and looked up with the same eyes a playful puppy would have. We play the game constantly now, his energy seemingly endless, ours… not so much. All of us enjoy it though, it’s funny to see him trot towards you trailing that shoelace, with that same eager step as a puppy bringing their master a ball.
He’s still quite the cuddler, despite the fact he has the whole house to explore now and another cat to play with. Oh, I haven’t mentioned Aspen yet, have I? The two of them didn’t get along all that great at first, Aspen smelling all the foreign animal smell from the shelter on one little kitten. I can understand his confusion, but after a while of being around our family, the smells faded and Aspen finally decided to join Grizzle in play. They roar up and down the hall, chasing each other. The two get along pretty well now, though Grizzle needs to learn when enough is enough during their wrestling matches.
Grizzle and Dad (who’s now retired) get along like the softies they both are. It’s not uncommon to come home and find our little black kitten sprawled out across Dad’s chest, both napping while the TV blares on in the background. Dad enjoys playing with Grizzle too, he’s home the most so he usually gets stuck with trying to wear the little tyke out. And Dad is the official morning cat-feeder, so that of course makes him popular with the short and fuzzy set. Surprisingly enough it was Dad that decided it was time to get a new kitten before I even got a chance to say anything, quote: “I missed having someone to greet me when I got home.”
Kasi (my live-in girlfriend) took a bit longer to warm up to the little fuzz ball, more worried about his treatment of her cat Aspen, who is a very timid cat, than anything. I’ve seen her playing with him recently though, smiling as she plays fetch and giggling as he complains at her for ‘bothering his rest’. It’s good to see her warming up to him finally and I think she likes him more than she lets on. Now if only he’d quit trying to steal Aspen’s food….
Mother and the kitten- oh, wait, she wants to do this one herself:
Grizzle was the perfect answer to liven things up around here. Usually the center of attention; “Where’s’ Grizzle, who’s got the kid, what’s he doing now?”, he is constantly entertaining. He just brings so much fun to the household. We haven’t had a kitten for a very long time, so it’s been a riot. We were prepared for the usual (small) amount of damage that tiny claws can bring, but the love and fun more than makes up for a few snagged spots on the couch and quilt. (Okay, maybe more than a few, but whatever.) Every morning when I open the bedroom door, he’s standing RIGHT outside the door, waiting to get in, with Aspen close behind. They will never let you forget when it’s time for breakfast, and morning cuddles!
When we first brought him home, his favorite spot to sleep on me was on my chest, right under my chin. He still curls up there at times, and I often need to push him down a bit so I can breathe! But mostly he just sprawls out wherever it’s comfortable, on or beside my lap, with little regard to anyone’s need for room besides his own. It quickly became clear that NO ONE would get any sleep if we let him into the bedroom at night, as any stray movement under the covers was reason to pounce. Not so good for sleeping. Consequently, he’s relegated to my daughter’s room, until he gets booted out of there for the same reason.
It’s so much fun to watch him grow, and see his personality develop. What a character! He’s learning all the rules of the house pretty quickly, too. A smart cookie, that one! We are trying to keep his nails trimmed, so we don’t have to declaw him. So far mostly so good, we’ll just wait till he’s done with the kitten years before we attempt to get new furniture. Might as well use the old stuff up, right? The love makes it all good, and there’s lots of it with this little guy. Back to Crystal…
I personally adore the little brat. Brat used in the most affectionate way possible mind you. He’s my lap warmer at night, showing me what I should be doing when I’m up at ungodly hours in the morning playing video games or watching TV. He likes to interrup- he’s la ying on mry hnds right now- oh he moved. He likes to interrupt me when I’m gaming by blocking my view or laying on my arms or hands as he just did. I truly don’t mind all that much though, I love the little fuzz-ball to pieces, really I do. I play fetch with him at 3:00 AM, what other pet will do that with you? He lectures me if I stay up too late, eventually giving up though and going to his own bed when I ignore him and stay up even later. Grizzle ‘helps’ me tie my shoes when I leave for work, stalking away in a huff when I finally stand up to go. When I come home he demands to be picked up, stretching up my leg and shouting insults until I comply. Then immediately wants down after I pick him up. Fickle cat. Aren’t they all? That’s why we love them though.
All in all Grizzle has found his forever home, one full of love and food and lots of toys. Oh, looks like it’s time for fetch, do excuse me.
Santos was a transfer from Leech Lake reservation. He was adopted and returned 2 days later because he was chasing the cats. He was adopted again and returned 4 days later because he was too active. This was his third adoption so I guess for Santos, third time’s the charm! Plus, this is a huge testimonial for doing open adoptions. Yes, she’s in college. But he’s going to the vet, is clearly loved and gets more attention than most! I’m guessing she also doesn’t have trouble finding a dog sitter! Have a great weekend!
I met a couple of you in my trips in, but my name is Melody and I adopted Santos. I got him on Sunday January 29th. Since he is only 11 months old I decided to change his name. I just felt that there was a name that fit him better. The first name that came to my mind was Oliver. I called him that throughout the night one night and he responded every time- maybe even a better response than to Santos- so I figured that was his way of telling me. :)
I am 19 years old and currently go to the College of Saint Benedict in Saint Joseph. I was approved through the school to get an animal to be my Emotional Support Animal (ESA). I went to at least 5 shelters and inquired about many, many dogs online before I found Oliver. This was over a span of about 2.5 months, but I had wanted a dog for years before then even. Everything kept leading to a dead end or a door slammed because I am in college. I got so close so many times. I went through so much heartache. I wanted to give up, but I knew I needed a dog and the perfect match was waiting for me somewhere. That is what kept me going.
It turns out I really was right. The first time I saw him at the shelter he had a deposit on him, but I still spent time with him in a room and absolutely adored playing with him and cuddling. The following week after going to a few more shelters I came back in just to look around and see if maybe an option would pop up. I saw him in his run and my heart stopped. I was SO excited. So I again spent a lot of time with him in a room, then put a deposit down so I could get everything ready for his arrival. I knew he was the one. I felt it the first time but in a different way because I knew he had a deposit on him. I feel terrible that he didn't work out with the couple he went home with for a couple of days, but I can't help think that it was meant to be. This is because I know Oliver and I were supposed to find each other and be together. We are a perfect match and are already so close and bonded.
He has adjusted about as perfect as possible. We live in my single room in the first year dorms. He has had no accidents inside and has not chewed anything he's not supposed to. Every time I come home, even if I just run to the laundry room down the hall, I listen at the door and he is never making noise. He sometimes just whines when I have to leave. When he wants something he does his what I call a yodel- growl type noise he does in his throat. He does very well on walks, except for when he sees bunnies. He pulls with all he has to try to go after them. He doesn't care about squirrels - just the bunnies. That is the only time he has barked. Other than the pulling, which has been getting better every day, he has done excellent outside. He responds and knows "good boy", sit, and knows the words "outside" and "potty" pretty well now. He also knows how to get my attention when he wants to go out by crying or yodeling and standing by the door. This is not loud though at all. For instance my family dog at home will bark. He knows when we are going out too because he gets SO excited when I start grabbing my jacket and his leash. He also knows he gets a treat after he goes potty.
Of course everyone loves him when they see us and ask to pet him- he just melts because he is such a sweetheart and loves meeting people. He really is a celebrity here! He is so silly, cuddly, affectionate, and intelligent. He is everything I have ever wanted and more.
Thank you so much to all the staff and volunteers who have helped me. You guys were truly amazing to me and I will forever be grateful. You are the only team that didn't just turn me down. You actually wanted me to find my companion, and it will forever mean the world to me. To US.
I plan to get him certified as an ESA. So I would get paperwork and a vest- that sort of thing. He is just absolutely perfect for this role in my life. He has already taught me so much, changed my life, and made me feel so good in a new way.
Thank you all so, so much.
Super Bowl Sunday marks the 10-year anniversary of the day I met one of my best friends, just two weeks after losing another to kidney failure.
My life was too quiet without Edgrr, so I looked online at the cats available for adoption at Tri-County Humane Society. There I saw a six-month-old, fuzzy “domestic longhair” named Harpo and knew I had to meet him.
Harpo had just had surgery. He was laying down in his cage, with his back to the door. A volunteer opened the door so I could interact with Harpo, and he turned to look at me and let out the biggest “MEOW.” Then I saw his giant feet and knew he’d be a monster.
Yep, this was the kitten I wanted.
I gave Harpo a new name, Reilly (also: Pooper, Turkey Butt, Sweet Pea, Giant Monstah Kitty), and all the attention he could ever want. In the mornings I would hold him in front of the glass door so he could chatter at the birds, and we’d take naps on the deck together. He’s grown to become THE biggest baby, snuggling in my arms while kneading me and purring with delight to the point of drooling.
A year after I adopted Reilly, I got a little sister, Rhia (also: Tiny Poo), for him – and just a year after that I got married, and the cats then got two big doggie brothers, Hairy and Chet.
Reilly thinks he’s one of the dogs: He fetches and often steals one of their beds, with no regret. He lays on his back like an otter, with his giant feet in the air. He’s a chatty fella, and he loves being wherever his Mama is; he’ll paw at the bathroom door when I’m showering, desperate to get in. He still sleeps on my feet every night and makes me laugh every day.
I love him to pieces and can’t imagine my life without him. Thank you, TCHS, for helping me find both of my meowing best friends.
And happy 10-year adoption day anniversary, Pooper! =^..^=
I just wanted to e-mail and let you all know how Jake (formerly Carlisle) is doing. We adopted Jake from TCHS in July of 2014 when he was just a 4 month old pup. He was the last of his siblings left and unfortunately had been returned a couple times due to previous people being told that his lower jaw was "too small" and that eventually when he got older, he would need his lower canines extracted. I am happy to say that over the course of time, Jake has grown to be a very healthy and happy little guy and never did end up needing his canines removed. I think that it was fate that he was brought back to you guys so that he could find his real home with us. Ironically, my husband and I were browsing and couldn't agree on adopting a Lab or a Dachshund and stumbled across Jake (a mix between both) that day at TCHS and immediately fell in love. Jake is now approaching 3 years old in April of 2017, and he loves life with his mom and dad, and brother Remi - a king charles cavalier/pomeranian mix who is about to turn 5 in January. Jake and Remi also recently gained a new little brother after this Christmas, Finn, who is a 1 year old dachshund/jack russell mix that mom and dad were fostering - and failed by adopting him. Jake and Remi already were inseparable but now have welcomed Finn to complete their mini wolf pack. All three enjoy napping together, taking turns licking and cleaning each others faces, running alongside each other in the yard and going on adventures. Jake had a wonderful Christmas with opening his gifts and having lots of newly acquired toys and treats. He is loving life in Omaha, Nebraska, where our family moved a little over a year ago, and his favorite places to visit are Three Dog Bakery and Spa (where he gets to pick out special, hand crafted doggie treats) and the local dog park. He also loves doing volunteer work with mom and dad, helping to foster fellow canines through Nebraska Dachshund Rescue and finding them furever homes. Jake also is very involved in the part-time family business of boarding fellow canines in our home who's owners are going out of town. He is a friendly social butterfly and loves to comfort and help others. Thank you SO much TCHS for bringing Jake to us, and us to him.

Peanut and Cashew
Barbara rolled off Metro Dial-a-Ride and entered PetSmart on February 14, 2016. She was still sad about having to send her Manx cat, Amber, to live with a friend, because Amber did not adjust well when Barb moved to assisted living.
The plan that day was to look at birds and decide if she could resign herself to a finch as her pet. And then it happened. Near the birds was a lady from TCHS with a blanket-lined basket. It only took one look in the basket for Barbara to recognize that Peanut and Cashew, the guinea pigs, were meant to live with her. There was tan and white Peanut with her cowlick-crested head and sleek tan Cashew, nested next to her, both content together in the confines of the basket. She held the basket and could not take her eyes off of them.
After looking at the brochure from TCHS about caring for guinea pigs with her friend and getting advice on supplies from the TCHS volunteer, the adoption was made. Barbara sent the piggies and cage back to her home with her friend and rolled back onto Dial-a-Ride to join them.
Everything about Peanut and Cashew was a good surprise, from how content they are in their cage to how many sounds they have to communicate -- including one that indicates it's time for a carrot or lettuce. They like to cuddle while their cage is cleaned, too.
Barbara studied up on their special needs, like Vitamin C drops, and enjoys taking care of them. In fact, "the Girls", as she calls them, are now designated her assistance animals. They help keep her in good spirits.
Although they have a special bond with Barbara, coming close and listening when she talks to them, they are also popular with the other residents at Riverside in Royalton and with visitors. More than one lettuce leaf has been saved from a sandwich for "the Girls" to enjoy.
“Just wanted to update you on Winston, adopted March 18th. He's doing awesome! He's a great addition to our family, and definitely a snuggler. We're so happy to have him. Thanks for taking care of him until we found him! You guys rock!”

Despite a successful ban of polythene bags, other types of plastic waste, such as single-use plastic items, have continued to pose significant environmental harm in Rwanda
It’s unrealistic to expect that people can make enough money from collecting bottles to start their own business. Recycling plastic beverage bottles generates plenty of work but little income. Yet organisations representing plastic producers continue to publicise plastic recycling as an income opportunity.

Knowledge-Based Fading Channel Analyzer for Adaptive Radio Links,
SRS TECHNOLOGIES HUNTSVILLE AL
Pagination or Media Count:
A new analysis technique proposed for fading radio channels combines object-oriented, knowledge-based processing algorithms with conventional quantitative methods to provide on-line estimates of channel dynamics and permits real-time formulation of adaptive link control strategies. Temporal features of a digitized signal envelope power record from the receiver are classified by statistical properties and threshold crossing behavior into elemental descriptive objects e.g., increasing signal, decreasing signal, which have both symbolic and parametric attributes. An expert-system inference engine operates on the elemental objects to construct more complex descriptive objects that characterize complete signal fade waveforms and fading sequences. Techniques are being developed to appress additional rules and statistical system identification procedures to generate multipath propagation models can be used to derivation of adaptive equalization and link control directives. The proposed technique integrates use of automated heuristic procedures and adaptive signal processing to permit effective interpretation of channel conditions in cases where time and information are limited. Applications of knowledge-based ionospheric propagation analysis include adaptive HF communications links, ionospheric monitoring, and over-the-horizon radar.

Real Estate Blog
Nestled among tales of countless property exchanges, the narrative of Los Angeles real estate starts to unfold, mirroring a richly woven tapestry. Each street and residence captures a piece of the city's ever-evolving chronicle. With a deep reservoir of knowledge accumulated in LA's bustling core, the journey through the ebb and flow of the market, witnessing its fluctuations, and the metamorphosis spurred by technological and societal shifts, offers a glimpse into what the future holds for the city's real estate landscape.
Custom Creations: Dreams Tailored to Fit
The concept of one-size-fits-all homes is as out of place in LA as rain. There's a burgeoning demand for tailor-made homes, each as distinct as the individuality of their owners. Picture estates that stand as testaments to architectural brilliance, where every detail, from horizon-blending infinity pools to entrances graced with Italian marble, signals a grand arrival.
Technological Elegance: Beyond the Ordinary
For the modern abode, being merely functional doesn't make the cut. The luxury market craves homes integrated with cutting-edge technology. Envision home theaters that challenge commercial cinemas, automated systems managing ambient conditions with a mere utterance, and security measures that set new standards. In LA, a home that's not manageable with a tablet feels almost archaic.
Secluded Sanctuaries: The Essence of Privacy
In the spotlight-filled City of Stars, privacy holds value beyond measure. Luxury living calls for estates ensconced in seclusion, far from prying eyes, amidst tranquil surrounds. Features like gated entries, meandering driveways, and verdant barriers are just the beginning. It's about crafting havens for serene mornings or undisturbed gatherings at dusk.
Holistic Havens: Prioritizing Wellness
The rise in homes featuring comprehensive wellness facilities marks a significant trend. From fully outfitted gyms and spa amenities to spaces for meditation, including rooms lined with Himalayan salt or yoga studios overlooking the city, the aim is to encapsulate the resort experience within the comfort of home.
The Great Outdoors: Blurring Boundaries
In a locale where the climate rivals the allure of its inhabitants, the distinction between indoor and outdoor living fades. Luxury seekers desire properties that celebrate this continuum. Expansive terraces, outdoor kitchens, and gardens not only elevate entertainment but also embody the essence of LA living, where the boundaries of inside and outside are seamlessly intertwined.
Conclusion: A Curated Lifestyle
This guide peels back the layers on what the elite look for in LA’s luxury real estate market. It transcends mere square footage or prestigious addresses; it’s about crafting a lifestyle as personalized and refined as the art adorning the walls.
Whether in pursuit of such architectural marvels or simply indulging in aspirational dreams, one thing remains clear: LA's luxury real estate scene pulsates with the same dynamism and vibrancy as the city itself. Here’s to finding that perfect piece of paradise or, at the very least, dreaming stylishly about it. Here's to the continued embrace of luxury living in LA.

So technically that title up there is a lie, because it’s the first edition, but who cares, welcome to some of my favorite recipes lately! Some of these are mine, some are from other bloggers, but regardless, they are recipes I’ve been reaching for or Googling multiple times and eating for lunch and dinner (sometimes breakfast!), which means they are total trophy award winners. I made all of these recipes, I just didn’t necessarily photograph them because I was too busy eating every morsel.
Ok so this is my recipe that I modified from Veg News magazine, but really, I use this roasting/spice combo all the time. On my Facebook today I shared that I made a version of it with broccoli instead of zucchini, but really, the possibilities are endless! I wish cilantro was easier to find in the winter because I always need this salsa in my life, always always. This is one of the meals that I will eat for breakfast sometimes, just because tacos are great always, am I right?
THIS. I make this at least once a month and usually eat the whole batch in less than 2 days, it’s that good. It’s is also the best ‘I’ve been on the couch watching Top Chef marathon and want to cook amazing things but don’t really want to cook anything’ meal. Instead of sauteing onion and garlic I usually sub in onion powder and garlic powder so I can throw everything in the blender and be good to go. Bonus points for if you cook the potatoes real quick in the microwave and let them sit long enough so you don’t burn the crap out of your fingers, speaking from experience here. Anyway, there aren’t enough good things I can say about this soup, except for you need to make it, now!
I know, another soup, but really, with this cold nonsense happening, you need this x 2. I swooned when Ashley posted this recipe because a.) I love anything with potato and soup and b.) Everything she makes is gorgeous so of course I wanted to faceplant into this immediately. The best part about this soup is that it’s easy to make even if you don’t normally eat vegan, but don’t really want to pour a quart of cream into your pot of veggies (counter intuitive?). Just trust me, again, you need this.
I mean, who doesn’t love cookies?! But also, who doesn’t love allll the butter that goes into chocolate chip cookies when really, you want to/need to eat one per day for your mental sanity? Me! I developed these with the thought that they would be so-so cookies and they turned out to be amazing. The key is the freezer time, but if you make a double batch and are patient you will be rewarded.
I know by this time it looks like all I might eat are cookies, potatoes, and green veggies and maybe that is a little right, but there are also chips thrown in there too, so there’s that. I wasn’t really on the brussels sprout train until this past year or so, thinking they are gross and that was just that. WRONG. I made this twice and inhaled it both times without hesitation. I’m planning on making this over the weekend and putting it on a pizza with roasted garlic sauce, oh yeah!
One last one! These were a recipe in Bon Appetit a while back and when my dad spotted it he wanted to try them right away. Luckily, they converted into vegan pancakes easily and are a huge hit. I never thought I would be putting cornmeal in pancakes, but it totally works! I like that they are crunchy but also fluffy, appealing to my texture driven food preferences. They also reheat quite nicely in the toaster, so make a big batch and freeze for breakfast throughout the week.
I hope you enjoyed my favorite ‘of the moment’ recipes, some are easy, some are sweet but they are all so dang good I had to share.
Have a great weekend!

Two Umatilla County men were arrested Friday for killing and butchering a cow, according to Oregon State Police.
Anthony Haigh, 21, of Stanfield, and TJ Kestler, 20, of Hermiston, were both charged with theft, criminal mischief, criminal trespass with a firearm, animal abuse and interfering with agricultural operations. In addition, Haigh, who was already in the Umatilla County Jail on unrelated charges, was charged as a felon in possession of a firearm.
A third adult male, not yet named, was not taken into custody but may be charged with theft and criminal trespassing, depending on the district attorney’s office.
The crime took place sometime during the night of Jan. 14 off Feedville Road in Stanfield, where a cow was found killed and partially butchered the next morning.

Proposition d’habitation is a contribution installation as part of the project The Exhibition Tower, made and curated by Brenda Tempelaar. It is an installation of two videos screened simultaneously; one, a performance by Absalon (Meir Eshel) in his living unit in a gallery space, and the other one, compilation of footage of gallery visitors seeing the living units made by him all collected in one exhibition space, after his death.
The two videos reflect on the intertwinement of artistic production practices, spaces of exposition of artistic products, and the reproductive/domestic activities of the artist. The maquette made by Brenda Tempelaar serves as stand for the beamers projecting these two videos, is a gesture to criticise the roles that the ones in position of power (institutions, architects, commissioners, etc) play in this context.
“…Two videos […], [are] screened simultaneously. The first is Proposition d’habitation (1992), a performance by Absalon (Meir Eshel) in his living unit in a gallery space. The space is reduced to the most essential functions of a house and brings the artist to isolation and introspection. The video depicts a table and chair, a cupboard that is also a bed and a tub and day-to-day activities performed by the artist. All the architectural elements are based on a geometrical shape such as a cylinder or a square. The space dictates his actions and restricts the movements of his body. The domesticity proposed by Absalon is not sedentary but alternative and mobile. The second video is a compilation of footage that features gallery visitors looking at a collection of Absalon’s living units, exhibited after his death. The Exhibition Tower serves as a stand for the beamers projecting the two videos. The installation reflects on the entanglement of artistic production, exhibition spaces and the domestic activities of the artist.”
The exhibition took place at Jan van Eyck Academie, 2015–2016.
Exhibition Catalogue published in 2018.
“The Exhibition Tower is a publication that features a series of four exhibitions staged inside a scale model of a tower designed by OMA for Lafayette Anticipations in Paris. The exhibition catalogue focuses on the concept of an 18-metre-high void and architectural/curatorial flexibility. The central question throughout the publication is what OMA’s design offers its prospective exhibitioners. Is it just mobile, or does it actually mobilise something? The editorial essay Animating the Ghost Sonata draws a parallel between the tower’s design and a 1907 screenplay by August Strindberg that is about expectations, dreams and house rules. All exhibitions took place behind the closed door of a studio at the Van Eyck academy in Maastricht. The catalogue therefore is not a keepsake but the only form in which the work ever existed.

Now you have everything.
You were told that your mind is your brain.
If they are the same
Why is there still pain?
On your doorstep, a lone wolf.
You pretend he is not your kind
while he howls at the same sky
The same sky that brought your all
took his all away.
Is it fearing the wolf
the power in our running legs?
In our tasked brains
we may pretend we don't mind,
but mind and brain are not the same
That we could acknowledge the pain,
instead of fearing to go outside
we could let our feared wolf in.
Your fear was becoming the wolf,
not treating wolves and dogs as kin.

The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Hajia Sadiya Farouq, has reportedly disclosed that the Federal Government has spent over $5bn since 2016 to fight poverty in the country.
Farouq added that, president Muhammadu Buhari has fulfilled his promises to save 100 million Nigerians from poverty, by committing $1bn through the National Social Investment Programme to reduce poverty and inequality.
She reportedly stated that the data referenced in the President’s Democracy Day address, revealed that 7.5million people had been pulled out of poverty.
She disclosed this in Yola, on Saturday during the presentation of letters of engagement and electronic tablets to 248 monitors of the NSIP programme in Adamawa.
According to her, “I am happy to report to you that every year since 2016, when NSIP was flagged off, Mr President has approved that $1bn be invested into that sector every year (which aggregated is over $5bn).”

Council hopes to extend borough-wide crackdown on street drinking
14 June, 2022 12:00 am
2 Min Read
Officers have mainly used the ban to target street drinking and “problematic congregation” By Waltham Forest Echo
Waltham Forest Council wants to extend a borough-wide crackdown on “anti-social behaviour”, mainly used to punish people for drinking on the street.
The Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) allows council and police officers to more easily punish “persistent or continuous” behaviour ranging from rough sleeping to running a brothel.
Council figures show that, since January 2019, it has mostly been used to punish street drinking and “problematic congregation”.
The PSPO has been in place across the south of the borough for more than five years but only spread to the north of the borough in October 2019.
It will expire later this year and now the council wants residents’ views on its plan to extend the ban until 2025.
Between January 2019 and March this year, officers have handed out almost 2,000 £100 fines for violating the PSPO and more than 3,000 Community Protection Warnings (CPWs), which allows an individual to be summoned to court if their behaviour continues.
Incidents dealt with by officers since 2019 (credit: Waltham Forest Council)
Figures provided by the council show that almost 40% of the enforcement carried out under the PSPO was for street drinking, a fifth was for “problematic congregation” and 13.5% was for “drug-related” issues.
A report prepared by the council reads: “The council carried out some data analysis previously which highlighted that levels of ASB and crime tend to increase and intensify in those areas where a PSPO is not in place.
“This evidence suggests that a decision not to renew the PSPOs may lead to a resulting increase in crime and ASB in the borough, by removing the powers we currently have to tackle such behaviour.
“We have seen a steady increase in the proportion of residents who are worried by ASB since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, as per the Public Attitudes Survey.”
The survey results show that around half of borough residents say they are worried about anti-social behaviour in their area, in line with the general trend for London overall.

Atrocity seem like they have been around forever. In reality, their first record came out in 1990 but for some reason, they just seem like they have been putting out records much longer. Maybe it’s the various experiments he has taken with the band (80s pop, industrial, goth), but Alex Krull’s latest opus, ATLANTIS, is nothing short of spectacular. Spread out over 15 tracks, we have black metal, goth, industrial, pop, death and atmospheric. This is a very bold move to allocate so many styles to a single entity, but as with other Atrocity releases, it works. This is a concept album surrounding the mysterious lost city of Atlantis. Along with the heavy elements, Krull has employed the use of operatic female vocals, string sections and loads of samples and effects. The outcome can be quite overwhelming and even requires a few listens to really absorb the epic nature of the whole package.
“Reich of Phenomena” and “Clash of the Titans” are full-on symphonic black metal complete with operatic vocals, some spoken word sections and a killer vocal from Krull himself. The downtuned riff of “Gods of Nations” borders on Korn/Soulfly territory, but with bombastic choir-like vocals in the chorus. More operatic female vocals appear on “Enigma,” “Clash of the Titans” and “Omen,” which is filled with haunting chants by the female singers. “Cold Black Days” is an excellent gothic rock song similar to newer Tiamat with its clean vocals and heavy keyboard element. “Apocalypse” features some great blastbeats and hyperspeed drumming from Martin Schmidt and blackened death growls from Krull. Strangely, “The Sunken Paradise” features the same chorus as “Gods of Nations” but with slightly different vocals. Both songs are terribly catchy and among the highlights on the record. “Lost Eden” and “Ein Volk” are two instrumental pieces that fit nicely in the scheme of things.
ATLANTIS was four years in the making and the results are breathtaking. Krull should be proud of this work as his songwriting and vision have never been more focused and engaging. How he will top this I don’t know, but I can’t wait to see him try.

DENVER — Each day, a ragtag squadron of airplanes pressed into service in 16 Western states takes to the skies in what may be a losing American war against a 2-inch enemy--the grasshopper.
What started out in early spring as a routine effort to control grasshoppers left over from a large infestation last year has ballooned into the most extensive crop spraying program ever attempted in the United States. Facing the worst infestation of grasshoppers in American history, the sprayers are rushing to cover as much cropland as possible before the insects soon begin mating and laying eggs.
Alan Tracy, deputy assistant agriculture secretary in charge of the project, and other officials acknowledged that problems have plagued the grasshopper control efforts. They include:
-- Plane crashes and breakdowns as World War II-era crop-dusters are leased by the government to deliver insecticides on fields swarming with the pests everywhere from Idaho to Texas and California to North Dakota.
-- An insecticide shortage as the government consumes virtually the entire daily national output of Malathion just to complete each day`s spraying in the targeted states.
-- Concerns from environmentalists over the effect on numerous endangered species from spraying the chemicals Malathion and Sevin on 11 million acres in the West. The largest previous use of insecticide in the United States had been the spraying of 7 million acres for grasshoppers in 1979.
-- Warnings that millions of dollars` worth of honey bees could be unintentially destroyed by Malathion.
-- Bitter complaints among many farmers and ranchers, already in dire economic trouble, that they cannot afford to pay their share of spraying. Officials said spraying is withheld in areas where farmers cannot or will not pay one-third of the costs.
Continued hot and dry weather is allowing the voracious insects to breed and feed at unprecedented rates. Officials say the grasshopper plague of 1985 will prove the worst in American history.
And, if members of the class of 1985 can`t be stopped before they lay eggs, prospects are strong for an even worse plague next year, the experts noted.
``They just hatch and hatch and continue to hatch,`` said Jim Hansen, spokesman for the Agriculture Department`s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, the division conducting the spraying program under emergency orders in June from Agriculture Secretary John Block.
Hansen said the campaign will cost ``substantially`` more than the $25 million in emergency funds released last month.
Officials were reluctant to estimate ultimate losses to farmers because they will depend on the spraying`s success. Tracy conceded, however, ``No matter what we do, there still is going to be a lot of damage done.
``This thing is just too complicated to make finding a number possible,`` Tracy said. ``The only number I can give you is the old joke about what you get when you hold a funeral for 1 million grasshoppers--you get 5 million mourners.``
Officials note that sprayers have consumed all the Malathion stockpiled in the U.S., including all stores held by the Pentagon, and then began buying the entire daily output of the pesticide by New Jersey-based American Cyanamid Co. American Cyanamid, the only U.S. manufacturer of Malathion, is turning out 12,000 gallons a day, Hansen said.
Last week, Wyoming Agriculture Commissioner Mike Orton broadcast an appeal to insecticide dealers throughout the Rocky Mountains to make Malathion available to his state, where 2.5 million acres are considered infested. Similar pleas were issued by Orton`s counterparts in Idaho and Utah.
Malathion, Orton explained, is the pesticide of choice because it is relatively cheap and because it dissipates in two to three days, making it far less dangerous than other bug killers.
Another headache for the spraying project, Hansen said, is that the government has been forced to contract with dozens of ``mom and pop``
companies that lack the well-maintained aircraft needed for the massive sprayings.
The crop-spraying business is erratic, he said, noting that in 1978 the government sprayed 800,000 acres, while it is covering more than 14 times that much this year.
``We`ve got people with planes that haven`t been well-maintained rushing to meet our needs, and I acknowledge that that is a dangerous situation,``
But he said, despite two plane crashes--one in Idaho and the other in North Dakota--nobody has died in the grasshopper war.
Since early July, officials in Tooele County, Utah, have been complaining about the federal government`s policy that it will not spray unless all local landowners agree to pay their share of the cost.
Under the spray program, the U.S. pays a third, the state pays a third and the owner must come up with the rest.

Australia will end up with about five to 10 superannuation mega funds in the future as smaller funds merge with larger players who will be jostling for dominance, according to PwC.
Speaking at a webinar, Naresh Subramaniam, director – investment advisory at PwC Australia, said he had been involved in the due diligence phase of about 20 mergers in the past two to three years and that mid-tier funds would trend toward amalgamating into a mega fund.
“We’re going to see these mid-tier funds starting to get together to aim at becoming sustainable and aim at becoming a mega fund,” he said.
He said he had witnessed mid-tier funds starting to discuss mergers, pointing to Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) pressures and rising costs as what was driving the trend.
Subramaniam said it would be complicated to conduct due diligence for the mid-tier mergers as it was likely there would be two to four entities attempting to mix into one.
He said unit pricing and equivalency, the APRA term to make sure members were not worse off from a merger, were the critical elements in PwC’s due diligence process analysis.
Conducting equivalency analysis meant looking at the super fund’s products and investment options, Subramaniam said, and analysing them from an asset allocation exposure or a growth asset exposure to see where there was commonality so they could be brought together.
Mergers that were confirmed this year so far were Equip and BOC Super, Hostplus and Statewide Super, Australian Super and LUCRF Super, QSuper and Sunsuper, LGIAsuper and Energy Super, Hostplus and InTrust Super, Toyota Super and Equipsuper, and Tasplan and MTAA.
There had also been discussions between Sunsuper and Australian Post Super, Aware Super and VISSF, and Hostplus and Maritime Super.

If any city is known for its architectural richness, it’s Paris. In the northeastern region of the capital, France’s National Dance Centre is situated — abbreviated as the CND, the brutalist building played temporary host to a pair of unruly skateboarders. Seen on Lanvin’s Instagram racing their way down the monolith’s slanted walkway, this season, the brand’s offering was all about honouring a relentless sense of adventure.
Titled Beach Birds after a choreographed piece by American dancer Merce Cunningham, creative director Bruno Sialleli wanted his models to move “like a flock of birds enjoying themselves on the seashore,” as the show notes read. In fact, the collection was the culmination of a variety of source material: photographer Hugh Holland’s images of 70s skateboarders combined with Hugo Pratt’s comic book hero Corto Maltese for a line that was an ode to inhibition.
Pinstripe shirts were teamed with pant legs dip-dyed in bottle green and lemon yellow and then paired with boots in corresponding shades to give the impression that the models had been wading through water. Sophisticated evening coats in inky navy were finished with oversized buttons and leather trimmings — a direct tribute to Corto Maltese’s iconic naval style. Additionally, this collection heralded the return of the skater aesthetic that thrived during the early 00s. Ubiquitous during that time period, memories of DC shoes came flooding back thanks to Sialleli’s take on chunky-soled sneakers with extra-thick laces. As for the female models, oversized smock dresses ended in ruffles, while Gingham coats with knitted collars in sea blue and dusky rose felt deliciously quaint.
From holdalls with contrasting leather straps to box bags finished with opulent buckles, bags also dominated the collection — a necessary accessory for a trip to the beach, after all. And for a true touch of holiday style, mock Mardi Gras beads were teamed with shrunken hula necklaces. So, it seems that for FW20, Sialleli sure took his audience on one hell of a journey.

Meet Officer Marcus Montgomery and his adorable new cuddle buddy, Kylo.
While on a routine call to the Panhandle Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), Montgomery saw the puppy and fell in love immediately.
Montgomery told BuzzFeed,
We spoke for about 20 minutes and I was wrapping up my investigation. One of the supervisors left, and while I was still speaking to the director of PAWS, the supervisor came back in with this little puppy in her hands. You could tell he'd been sleeping because his eyes were heavy and he was yawning constantly.
Sleepy little baby puppy eyes?! I mean, how could you not?
Apparently, someone had abandoned Kylo in a box behind the animal rescue. When one of the employees heard noises, she went outside to find the puppy alone and crying.
I think my heart is actually broken now.
Montgomery said of the adoption,
Me and my girlfriend have wanted another dog for so long because Vader, our other rescue, loves meeting other dogs and playing with them.
Now Vader has a new friend, too?! Could this story get any better?
Keep scrolling for pics if you think you can handle the cuteness of this loving family and their furbabies.

Wenatchee, WA, October 08, 2009 --(PR.com
)-- Engineers who want to leverage Souriau’s light-weight, high-density microComp connector line in harsh environment applications can now shave even more weight off their design without compromising hermetic integrity, following with the new aluminum compatible microComp hermetic receptacle from PA&E.
Souriau’s microComp connector line is well suited to any application that requires a light-weight, high-density rectangular connector. microComp connectors typically weigh 60% less and are 25% smaller than standard high-density Sub-D connectors. They can be built with as few as seven or as many as 104 contacts and have a contact pitch of 2.0 x 1.7 mm2. The microComp line comes in both space and military grade configurations and each connector offers dismountable contact construction for wiring flexibility.
The new aluminum compatible PA&E microComp hermetic receptacle is currently designed for the microComp 25-pin configuration and offers a weight savings of up to 40% when compared to stainless steel alternatives. It has a leak rate of less than 1X10-9 cc/sec helium at one atmospheric differential pressure thanks to PA&E’s Kryoflex® polycrystalline ceramic. Kryoflex-sealed connectors provide superior electrical performance -- up to 70 times the current-carrying capacity of conventional products -- while withstanding extreme mechanical and thermal stresses.
The microComp hermetic receptacle provides an insulation resistance of greater than 5,000 megohms at 500 VDC when tested in IAW MIL-STD 1344, Method 3003. It is built with beryllium copper alloy contacts that are finished in nickel/gold and has an operating temperature range of -55°C +170°C. The microComp receptacle is designed for aluminum, titanium or iron/nickel alloy applications and is available in laser-weldable or o-ring mount styles. These receptacle connectors are also available in a double-ended bulkhead configuration for applications requiring an interconnection on both sides.

Facing FC Pune City in sunlight at the Mumbai Football Arena is not the only adjustment Mumbai City FC needs to make during their Indian Super League season-4 evening game.
By the time the venue glows under floodlights in the second half, the latter may realise that the visitors in orange-and-purple is tricky to handle due to sharp defence, aggressive midfield and versatile forwardline.
Goalkeeper Vishal Kaith, replacing Kamaljit Singh from the side which steamrollered MCFC in the previous game, is the frontrunner for Golden Gloves award, with five clean sheets in 11 matches played.
Ranko Popovic’s first-choice custodian let in only nine goals and appears solid in the air and decisive at shots from close, inspiring defenders ahead to be proactive.
Emilano Alfaro from Uruguay, whose brace of goals had inspired a come-from-behind victory earlier, increased the tally to seven and continues to give opponents the slip.
Fellow-striker Marcelino (seven goals and seven assists) is deadlier on the wing setting up goals after coach Ranko Popovic gave the captain from Brazil more space on the flank to work his magic.
MCFC defenders’ focus on these two tearaway forwards encourages teammates behind to step into the goalmouth and finish moves via tap-ins and flying headers.
Midfielder Adil Khan (four goals, two 'best player' awards) has become an expert in slipping unnoticed into position to despatch home crosses. Mohammed Ashique’s understanding with the two goal-getters is proving effective.
Each one doing his part propped up Popovic’s squad to second place and it is on course to booking a knockout berth.
Coached by Alexandre Guimaraes for a second consecutive season, MCFC is struggling. Balwant Singh’s goals have dried up despite increasing workload, the midfield is subdued and unable to use playmaker Achille Emana’s quality passes.
Guimaraes said: “When you have the chances, you have to convert. We are playing against a team that is coming closer to their objective of making it to the top-four. They will try to put pressure on us, but we are ready.”
The team lost three home games in a row, so winning at MFA is the bare minimum required for an outside chance to qualify in the remaining five games.
MCFC is in seventh place after 13 ties. FCPC won 2-1 the last time these two Maharashtra teams clashed. The visitors have 25 points from 14 ties.

Adapted in part from the archives, with a new recipe, photos and links.
When I was a child, I thought I was one of a kind -- the kind of person who loves chicken, but doesn't love turkey.My mother indulged my taste in poultry, and instead of insisting I make a meal out of side dishes, for every holiday she'd cook two main courses. Turkey and brisket. Turkey and sweet-and-sour meatballs. Sometimes turkey and spaghetti.
As I've grown older, my tastes have grown up. I still don't love roast turkey, but I love ground turkey, and I always have some in my freezer.
Without the skin, turkey is naturally low in fat, and a good source of folic acid, vitamins B, B1,B6, zinc and potassium. Its neutral flavor accepts all variations of seasoning, from Mexican to Italian to spicy Asian.
I substitute ground turkey in Asian recipes that call for pork, and I love to try different incarnations of recipes that might also work well with beef.
In the supermarket, look for ground white meat turkey (extremely lean, sometimes 99 percent fat free, or the 93 percent fat free I prefer) or ground dark meat, which has a bit more fat and flavor. Store ground poultry in the freezer for up to three months.
Of course you can grind your own, if you have a meat grinding attachment for your stand mixer.
I love roast chicken, but not roast turkey -- and ground turkey, but not ground chicken.
How about you? Chicken, turkey, or both?
Greektown turkey meatballs
One of the highlights of my visit to Chicago for the BlogHer conference last summer was a stop at The Spice House with my blogging friend Kalyn. We met owner Patricia Penzey Erd and left the store with many new spices to try. The Spice House sells several spice blends named after Chicago neighborhoods, and their Greektown Billygoat Seasoning -- made with coarse salt, granulated garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, Greek oregano and powdered lemon peel -- is one of my favorites. If you don't have it, substitute Penzeys Greek Seasoning, or dried oregano plus lemon zest, and one clove of garlic smashed to a paste, for the seasoning in this recipe. Makes 36-40 meatballs (or 6 turkey burgers), which turn a Greek salad into a satisfying main course dish.
1-1/4 lb ground turkey (I use 93% fat-free)
1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (I use Fage 0% fat)
1 large egg
1-1/2 Tbsp Greektown Billygoat Seasoning or Penzeys Greek Seasoning (or equivalent mix of dried oregano plus lemon zest, plus one clove of garlic, smashed)
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp fresh black pepper
1 tsp olive oil
1-2 Tbsp flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a Silpat (silicone liner), aluminum foil or parchment paper, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. With your hands, mix until well combined, with the breadcrumbs and yogurt evenly distributed throughout.
Wet your hands with water, and form the turkey mixture into 36-40 meatballs approximately 1-1/4 inches in diameter. Place on the prepared baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes, until just slightly brown. Taste one to be sure they're done; the yogurt will keep the meatballs fairly moist.
You can make these ahead, and freeze them. Serve as an appetizer, or add to a Greek salad.

Prof Dzulkifli Abdul Razak says the health minister’s disregarding of the Poisons Board in delisting liquid nicotine sets an unwarranted precedent. He also questions the silence of education, youth and sports, economy, environment, and science ministers.
The delisting of liquid nicotine is morally dehumanising and Islamically wrong!
The health minister is now facing a lawsuit brought against her by the Malaysian Council for Tobacco Council (MCTC), the Malaysian Green Lung Association (MGLA), and Voice of the Children (VOC) over the delisting of liquid and gel nicotine used in e-cigarettes and vaporisers as a scheduled poison from the Poisons Act, 1952.
This is historic for Malaysia, even many parts of the world, starkly indicating the state of ill health of the health sector.
It was brought about by the minister’s act to veto a unanimous rejection from the Poisons Board during its consultation session last March 29 for the proposed liquid nicotine delisting. The exemption order was issued last March 31.
The minister has claimed that this resulted from the Ministry of Finance’s instruction to exempt the said items used in e-cigarettes and vaporisers from control under the Poisons Act.
In turn, it can be traced to the Prime Minister-cum-finance minister’s speech last February 24, while tabling the 2023 Budget in Parliament.
Reportedly, the proposal was to impose excise duties on e-liquids containing nicotine, effective from last April 1, making for an infamous April’s Fool Day joke!
This time, all Malaysians were made fools of by their newly elected ‘democratic’ unity government.
Most ironically however, the health minister, in her response to the lawsuit, categorically said that “the applicants do not have the right to be heard”, in reference to the MCTC, MGLA and VOC in their June 30 affidavit against her for not giving them and other stakeholders, an “effective right to be heard” on the matter, before removing liquid nicotine from the Poisons List.
Similarly, the Poisons Board’s unanimous decision against the delisting. The health minister rendered the Board ‘obsolete’ by arrogantly disregarding the Board members’ combined professional experience!
These created an unwarranted precedent, which only goes to demonstrate how ‘sick’ the health sector is, ‘democratically speaking’, to unilaterally remove liquid nicotine from the Poisons List by ignoring the collective expertise of the Poisons Board members.
It boggles the mind as to how a democratically elected government that is fiercely claiming to be reform-based could be so brazen and ‘uncivilised’ in supporting a minister (and/ or the executive) to bulldoze a very controversial decision through and deny the people’s rights and concerns about their own welfare!
The idea of a ‘big brother’ dystopia (in this case, ‘sister’) seems to have emerged, when the Ministry of Health wields total power over the people’s wellbeing.
This is even more so when it comes to issues motivated by greed, that is, collecting excise duties on a highly addictive and dangerous substance, namely nicotine.
Clearly, the minister has abdicated her professional duty in violation of the sacred oath “to first do no harm”.
Consequently, the action taken has been many thousands, if not millions, of those under the age of 18 being lured by the temptation of vaping.
Similarly, the education minister has also failed to give voice to the plight of these children, despite the increasing use of the poisonous substance within schools.
The youth and sports minister is equally silent, although the number of women addicted to nicotine continues to rise.
The economy minister, who was eager to point to the ‘addictive’ habit of Malaysians eating out, has failed to speak out about the real addictive habit of nicotine consumption.
Nicotine consumption often begins from a very young age, leading not only to higher wastage of resources, but also the premature ending of lives.
How about the natural resources, environment and climate change minister? In terms of environmental pollution, smoking and vaping will only worsen the ongoing climate change crisis.
The science, technology and innovation minister must be aware of the critical scientific evidence when it comes to nicotine abuse, but also remains quiet.
It is downright hypocritical by not walking the talk to protect the generation of tomorrow. Regardless of all the legal wrangling, the decision to delist nicotine is morally dehumanising!
It only opens the door to the uncontrolled abuse of nicotine that was rigorously put under lock and key to protect the nation’s wellbeing.
The medical fraternity recognises the clinical merits of such issues, as acknowledged and accepted by the World Health Organization (WHO) decades ago. The move is said to create a new generation of addicts, as warned by the WHO.
To state that the “decision on the said poisons was lawful, rational, and had no procedural errors” as claimed, is morally and ethically out of line, when millions of lives are intentionally placed at stake.
