A sweet story: Why did a dog in Newmarket end up nursing a litter of kittens?
But perhaps more common than we recognize. Many years ago I had a dachshund that really wanted to be a mother. We adopted a kitten from the local SPCA They said it was 8 weeks old. Must have driven through a time...
O.K. It's like this. We had the tree company here today to take down a standing dead ash near the road. If it went down on its own it power lines would also go down with it.
As long as the crew was here I had them take down two nearby standing dead field cedars. The base of both had a lot of...

Our narrow road, cliffs on portions on one side, creek all the way on the other side, and a little less than 3 miles long. Portions belong to 3 different townships. Our portion is paved, the rest is not. For years the asphalt has been collapsing on the creek side, undercut, washing out. There...
