November 2022

Hello all, I hope this week finds you all in good health and happy spirits. I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween. This year was different for us, we really didn’t do anything. My boys are too big, and my grandbabies did their own thing with their parents. Halloween just isn’t the same as it used to be, but nothing is.

Boost your spirits and winter décor with new shapes and colors of amaryllis. Today there are many beautiful options beyond the traditional red.

This week, we would like to pay tribute to Caleb Shaw and Hudson Adams, two seniors from Cotter High School, who held a fundraiser at their school to benefit the animals at Have-A-Heart Pet Shelter. They collected 219 pounds of dog food, 143 pounds of cat food, 31 pounds of treats as well as toys, blankets, bandannas, and pee pads. When people speak disparagingly about the younger generation, they need to know there are still a lot of great, caring kids out there. A big, heartfelt “Thank you!” to Hudson and Caleb. You rock.

This sweet girl came up to a house on Hwy 62 E very pregnant. The people who found her took care of her and the litter of pups until they were weaned. The pups were sent to a puppy rescue when they were 8 weeks old, where they have a greater chance to be adopted.
