Dear Readers: Last week, we answered a question about coyotes and then this week we received an email from a kind-hearted man who had rescued a wounded cedar wax wing and wondered whether the Oswego County Humane Society could take it in.

Dear Readers: We have a job for you. We just received an Advocacy Alert from the ASPCA that we think you might be interested in.

Dear Readers: It’s fall, that magical time when everything is gloriously beautiful, the air is cool, we can soon stop worrying about heart worm and maybe even fleas and ticks, there’s not much mud, it hasn’t snowed yet, in short a perfect time of year for pets and their people.

Dear Readers: This came in the mail the other day and we thought it was important to share.
