pets: Adopt A Pet at Operation Kindness, A No-Kill Animal Shelter - 08/06/09 01:39 PM
Adopt A Pet at Operation Kindness, A No-Kill Animal Shelter
Operation Kindness has been a North Texas instituion since 1976.  I adopted Eh? from them in 1984 when they were located in a tiny building in Garland, Texas. Zed joined the family in 1988 and by that time, Operation Kindness had moved to larger quarters on Beltline Road in Farmers Branch.  Eh? and Zed never really got along, but did tolerate each other.  Sadly, they're both gone now. 
I vowed that my next cats would be littermates, in the hopes that they would peacefully coexist. And they do.  By the time I got around to … (10 comments)

pets: Making Addison More Pet-Friendly - 05/09/09 03:21 AM
Addison, TX became a safe-haven for some fleeing the destructive winds and rains of hurricanes Ike, Rita and Katrina.  The doors to Loos Field House were opened to those evacuees seeking shelter.  Some families even brought their pets with them.
To better prepare for future emergencies, the secretary at the Addison Athletic Club is collecting no longer needed pet supplies.  If you have any of the items below, please drop them off with Betsy Sterns at the Addison (TX) Athletic Club on Beltway Drive.

pets: More Evidence that Addison is Pet-Friendly! - 06/17/07 05:02 AM
The Addison Fire Department is concerned about pets. 
Humans know that they should leave a burning building, but house pets usually hide during a fire, making rescues difficult.  Our pets are more likely to suffer smoke inhalation than their owners.
Recently, the Addison Fire Department equipped each ambulance with three sets of pet oxygen masks.  These cone-shaped plastic masks fit snugly on snouts and can be used on dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs and birds.
Those handsome dudes in the photo, Knickknack (right) and Bricabrac (left) hope they don't ever need the services of the Addison firefighters, but they catnap more soundly … (4 comments)

Ah, Addison! Not a city, but a "town." The Town of Addison. The best place to live and work in North Texas. There's something to be said about a place that doesn't take itself too seriously. Note the exclamation point in the town's name. Here you'll find the ruminations, rants and raves of one of the town's realtors and residents.
