Simba was rescued from the mean streets of Oswego but she doesn't have a mean bone in her body. Instead she is a friendly and pretty young lady who loves belly rubs and lounging around nice and safe in her foster home. She is getting used to the other cats and dogs in her foster home, but she wants a nice safe home of her own.

Dear Porky & Buddy: Do dogs and cats get a poison ivy rash? My property in the country has poison ivy everywhere and I have the rash most of the summer, no matter how careful I am. I have noticed that my little pug, Suki, seems to be very itchy and miserable. Could it be poison ivy? Signed, Dan
We have featured Cassidy before, but maybe you didn't realize how pretty she is, on top of all her other great attributes. She is a super friendly teenager, good with her foster mom's little yippy dogs and her other cats.
Dear Readers, We have written about this issue many times in the past, but it NEVER hurts to say it again.
Snow is a gorgeous "snowy white" teenage girl with blue eyes! She is good with her foster mom's other cats and the small children in the home.
Dear Readers, Last week we talked about the problem of animals dying in hot cars every summer, and the law in New York that makes this a crime. Although our statute, Agriculture & Markets Law 353-d, is not perfect, in our opinion, it is certainly better than nothing! We have discovered that only 21 states out of 50 have any legislation criminalizing the act of leaving animals in danger in unattended cars.
Martin is a big lug of a handsome boy, about two years old, almost 11 pounds of lap cat. He likes to snuggle and purr in your lap and if you put some catnip on the rug or his toys he will roll around in it.
Dear Buddy and Porky: I just read Travels with Charley, that old John Steinbeck classic and I'm thinking, "I could do that!" Not write a best seller, but just travel around the country in my camper with my dog Spot. But what do you think Spot would think about such a plan. I would only be gone about two weeks, but I would sure miss her. Signed, Gloria
Dear Buddy and Porky: We live out in the country in a wooded area where there is a lot of wildlife, everything from deer to chipmunks to turtles to all kinds of birds. We are thinking about getting a dog but wondering if that is such a good idea for either the dog or the wildlife. What do you think? Signed, Sam
