Here's one of several cartoons that was drawn by Furry Friends Animal Shelter volunteer Serena of some of the long-time residents at the animal rescue centre in Barrie.
By David Hawke -- The shortest day of the year is in December and the coldest days are in February, but the month with the most short, cold days is certainly January.
Queen and Freddy are hoping to find a home together.
Ella and Sophie are a special pair of kitties who came to Furry Friends AnimalShelter through extremely sad circumstances.
By David Hawke -- It seems fitting that the winter solstice, which marked the lengthening of daylight hours, coincided with this extended thaw. Within the big cycle of life, certain things happen in winter-time, whether or not the snowdrifts are piled over your car or barely over your boot-tops.
Meet Gibby, a six-year-old gentle soul who is looking for his forever home in the new year!
By David Hawke -- If you look up at the moon and it's a lovely crescent shape... can you determine how long until the next full moon?
Gouda is the sweetest little guinea going.
By David Hawke -- The wildlife of our area, if they are programmed to stay and survive winter, are subjected to a rolling schedule of feast then famine. Food abundance can and does disappear overnight, whether the cause be weather (hey, it snowed last night... a lot!) or migration (hey, where'd everybody go?). To get by until springtime many changes must be undertaken, sometimes physiological, sometime with behaviours.
This marvellous seven-month-old kitten is waiting to meet you right now at Pet Valu Barrie Wellington St.
Poseidon is a loving, gentle soul who gets along well with other cats, but not dogs.
By David Hawke -- I admit I was rushing when I went out the door... places to go, people to see... so my sudden appearance was indeed a surprise to the gathered flock of birds. Blue jays bolted this-away, chickadees flitted that-away and two black squirrels almost had a head-on collision as escape branches were grasped for! But then a new shape was noted, a new pattern of feathers, enough of a difference that I halted half-way across the deck for a better look-see.
Shadow and Tigger are a bonded pair of siblings who are hoping you will welcome them both into your home.
Loodles is nine years old and has been waiting for six months at the Furry Friends Animal Shelter for her 'furever' family.
By David Hawke -- If Mother Nature were ever to sit in on a card game, you could count me out! For Nature doesn’t like to reveal any secrets, and if they are revealed, it's only because it needn't be kept a secret any longer.
Sweet and soft Mya is 9 years old, with a glowing personality.
Joey is a female, approximately 9 months old.
By David Hawke -- Winter tires on? Check. Storm windows installed? Check. Snow boots, scarf and toque dug out from back of closet? Check.
Lucy is a bit shy at first but once she is comfortable with you, she becomes a snuggle bug.
