'Waitress Moms,' 'Walmart Moms' and Undecided Voters
Produced by:
With the campaign down to a few precious days, the last, few undecided voters are said to be women. We find out who they are, where they live and how neatly they do or don't fit into categories like "waitress moms" and "Walmart moms." Whatever happened to "soccer moms?" Also, economic growth exceeds expectations, and the Tesla. Not just a groundbreaking electric car, it's exposing the stranglehold of automobile dealerships that dominate retail sales.

Economic Growth Exceeds Expectations ()
The Commerce Department today released one of the last important sources of economic data before the November election. It shows an increasing growth rate, with different degrees of optimism from consumers and business. Kevin Hall reports on economics for the McClatchy Newspapers.

'Waitress Moms,' 'Walmart Moms' and Undecided Voters ()
Both parties agree that the 2012 presidential election is going down to the wire. President Obama and Mitt Romney are dashing from swing state to swing state in pursuit of this year's last undecided voters. Polls show they are women — predominantly white, non-college educated, working women who are the fastest growing part of a changing workforce — not the "soccer moms" of the prosperous 1990's. Obama accuses Romney of conducting "a war on women," but they've been moving in Romney's direction since after the first debate. Are they more concerned about abortion and contraception or the economy? How does "micro-targeting" help the candidates speak to the different needs of different women?

Reporter's Notebook
Is Tesla a Threat to Car Dealerships? ()
Since the start of the US auto industry, manufacturers have granted the right to sell vehicles to new-car franchisers. State laws now require that car makers leave retail sales to somebody else. But a tiny new maker of electric cars is challenging that system. Elon Musk, who founded PayPal and was the first to launch private missions to the International Space Station, is making the sleek, expensive Tesla. Rather than use the franchise system, he's setting up his own stores. Auto dealers and regional associations are fighting back. Jerry Hirsch reports on the auto industry for the Los Angeles Times.

Guys & Girls: The diversity at IIT is present in such a dominant way that it's hard to ignore it. That's why you can find guys and girls from all different walks of life, interests, dress, skin colors, nationalities, and religions.
Guys & Girls: The evening law program has a diverse group of overachievers who will make great connections later on in life.
Guys & Girls: We have every flavor of Guys & Girls at IIT, largest diversity is in the college of Architecture, but it does not mean that all Engineers are Geeks! Lots of seriously attractive Architects thought.
Guys & Girls: The guys here at this school are decent and seem to have their goals set. The girls are are great and seem pretty relaxed. However, there are people who are stuck up about their appearance here.
Guys & Girls: Girls Are Very Beautiful – There are girls from all over the world. There are lots of Korean, Chinese, Indian and Spanish girls. And obviously there are girls from all over the US. However they are much fewer than the guys. The ratio is about 17%. So there is stiff competition, but they are totally worth it. Unfortunately many people stick to their own group, but there are a few interracial and international couples too. So there are opportunities for everyone.

"Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs The New York Knicks" is here!
I can't wait to see Dan Klores' new documentary, "Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs The New York Knicks", which just premiered in New York's Ziegfeld's Theater.
The star of the film, Reggie Miller, was there himself, along with Spike Lee, John Starks, Ahmad Rashad and many other celebrity guests.
The event was covered by LockerBlogger (see video above), a pretty awesome digital media website which allows pro athletes to blog, post their stuff and connect with fans. NBA (and former NBA) stars featured on the website include JR Smith, Blake Griffin, Jason Kidd, Charlie Villanueva and Allan Houston. Clever idea.
Anyway, back to "Winning Time". Great title, but bad timing, considering how awful the Pacers are going this season. Perhaps "Tanking Time: Though We'll Never Publicly Admit It" would have been more appropriate?

Tom Raworth has published more than 40 volumes of poetry, prose, and translations, including, most recently, his Collected Poems, Ace, Landscaping the Future and Tottering State. His poetry has been referred to as fragmentary, provocative, and sometimes puzzling; according to critic Robert Sheppard, writing in the Times Literary Supplement, Raworth's work "explores reality in language, rather than through it." Born in Kent, England, Raworth was the founding editor of Goliard Press. He has taught writing at the University of Essex in Colchester, UK; at Bowling Green State University; at Northeastern Illinois University; and at King's College, Cambridge, where he was poet-in-residence in 1977 – 78.

"It was major for us to get off quick," he said. "Just for them to know that we're back."
Hoover tied the game in the fourth inning when McKenzie Edmons reached on a one-out single and advanced to second on a throwing error before moving to third on a wild pitch and scoring on a Zoey Carte single.
The Huskies stranded two runners in the fifth and another in the sixth before Johnson's homer put Scott ahead for good in the seventh.
"We held them to four hits and she's one of the best hitters in the state, if not the best," Smith said. "She went 1 for 4 but it was a huge hit."
Harless said that while the win was very important from a momentum standpoint, he and his team know the Huskies will be hoping for another shot at them in the state playoffs.
"To get to states there's a good chance we'll have to beat them again," he said. "We kind of hit a wall the last week. [Wednesday] night about the fifth inning of our game we started rolling and it carried over to tonight."

"I would like to just write a line about the picture you had in the paper the other day concerning the Civil War battle that happened in downtown Hagerstown. What I saw in the background reminded me of an old ghost town. The people of Hagerstown should thank your mayor and council for keeping your town so authentic-looking."
— Greencastle, Pa.
"This is to the person from Fairfield, Pa. I don't know if you guys will print this or not, but he's talking in there about gays being, coming out of religion. Well, religion says God told us that in the New Testament, a man shouldn't live with a man, a woman shouldn't live with a woman. What does that mean? That means that gay marriage is wrong."
— Hagerstown
"You know, you ride around in Washington County, and we have a beautiful place to live, and all of a sudden you come up on a spot where somebody has thrown a bunch of trash alongside the road. Parents, please teach your children to keep the stuff in the car until they come to a waste can. It really ruins our scenery."
— Hagerstown
"If our Congress wants to repeal the Obamacare that provides health care for everyone in our country, which is much needed, and I feel that Congress should give up their health care. Every American should have access to health care, and that's the bottom line. And if Mitt Romney does not want to give more than two years' worth of taxes, he should not be our president. I don't know why he doesn't want to give up more ... but when I bought my first house, I had to provide more than two years' worth of my tax returns. There's just something about old Mitt that he's hiding."
— Hagerstown
"When a man makes a comment that he and his brothers are going to make it bad for the president to get elected in the next quarter, and they send their money overseas and put all their money in overseas bank accounts, and they send all their work overseas, they don't have the right to stand up there and sing 'America the Beautiful.' They're not running America, they're running it down."
— Falling Waters, W.Va.
"I see in today's paper that Berkeley County got the Macy's fulfillment center that will potentially employ 1,200 people. Washington County is getting a new Suns stadium. I think we ought to be asking our local and county government what is going on here."
— Halfway
"Thanks, county commissioners, for your $23-a-month increase on our pension. It's a shame that you can spend all this money on the school board's pension, when you can't even do it to your own county government workers. Twenty-three dollars a month? Big deal."
— Washington County
"In response to a couple of the callers: I'm rich, and I'm not going to start any businesses until President Obama is out, because I don't want to be beaten to death for being successful. And also, I'm so proud I make some people sick."
— Big Pool
"From Monday to Thursday, I have a brown grocery bag full of nothing but junk mail. In a month, the only bills I receive are four. I think it's ridiculous that the mail people have to carry all that junk around."
— Hagerstown
"'The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.' — Thomas Jefferson. 'The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government — lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.' — Patrick Henry."
— Lappans
"Switzerland has had an extremely stable economy and infrastructure and hasn't been at war with another country since 1505. The Swiss franc has virtually zero inflation and is backed by at least 40 percent gold reserves. You say shame on Mitt Romney for protecting his family's wealth? I say shame on the government for taking my money and sending it overseas to extremely unstable countries with no accountability. I know, rich people bad, poor people good."
— Greencastle, Pa.
"The number for Barbara Mikulski is 202-224-4654."
— Hagerstown
"'Freedom isn't free' is a phrase we often hear to describe the sacrifices of our men and women in the military — and rightfully so, but we could also look at this in terms of our current financial problems, and remind ourselves that freedom isn't free, and we need to stop whining and pay our fair share of taxes, and we'll get out of this debt hole."
— Boonsboro
"In response to the Williamsport caller, President Obama actually has taken less time for vacation than both ex-president Bush and President Clinton. So please get your facts straight before calling in to Mail Call."
— Hagerstown
"In reference to the Friday, July 20, article by Leonard Pitts, once again, he wears his hatred for white people and the Republican Party like a badge of honor. He calls for groups and ... against what should be considered a normal request; proper identification, in order to cast your vote. Once again, it seems he only wants to divide this nation, instead of bringing it together, and I just think this is a shame. I ... ask for proper identification by all people, white people, black people, Asian people. All people should have to give proper identification in order to cast a vote, and he needs to stop this vendetta."
— Hagerstown
"I work in a local grocery store. I think if the government wants to save some money, they need to re-evaluate the food stamps program. I don't think they ought to be allowed to buy sodas, candy, shrimp, oysters, crabmeat, steaks, things like that. Food stamp people eat better than the working people."
— Maugansville
"To George Michael, who wants to go back to the good old Bush days: Americans killed and maimed in Iraq; Iraqi people, no electric or water; billions of dollars spent and not accounted for. Great times under Bush."
— Martinsburg, W.Va.
"Our question has been answered. The five Romney sons were on Rock Center last night, and one of the sons said that none of them has ever served in the military."
— Waynesboro, Pa.
"Well, it was really nice to go back to Mayberry with Leonard Pitts. Unfortunately, now he's just back to his same old self. Gee, it's not my fault I was born white."
— Knoxville, Md.
"The gay rights advocates now are screaming because the Boy Scouts of America won't allow gay Scoutmasters. I think people have already forgotten about Jerry Sandusky. I don't think you turn a fox loose in a henhouse."
— Hagerstown
"Why is the NRA so untouchable? Why do they continue to hide behind their guns? The Colorado shooting, tragically, once again shows that we are in dire need of stronger gun control laws. It will save lives."
— Clear Spring
"The caller from Waynesboro, Pa., hit the nail on the head, in being criticized for wanting voter registration. This caller said that the big reason that we need voter registration is the illegal immigrant issue. If we didn't have the illegal immigrant issue, there wouldn't be such an issue about voter registration. But with many, many illegals in the country ... we need voter registration."
— Washington County
"This is in response to the Hagerstown caller, about Obamacare. Just how do you plan on paying for it, raise taxes on just certain people? OK, another thing, what is discriminating about voter ID?"
— Blue Ridge Summit
"Mailbox basher, just replaced mine, $29 plus tax. I called in, I was hoping that somebody would write it up in the paper. The president gets on the TV and lies, three-fourths of the commercials on TV lies, I tell the truth, and nothing is done. This doesn't make sense to me. I mean, I'll bet your trash can is really getting full of things that you think aren't worth being published. Thirteen comments, and you publish two ... away with this, because it's a federal offense, and please print it. And P.S., do you have a opening in your department? Because I sure need a job."
— Fairview Road

The Newspeak Programming Language
What is Newspeak?
Newspeak is a new programming language in the tradition of Self and Smalltalk. Newspeak is highly dynamic and reflective – but designed to support modularity and security. It supports both object-oriented and functional programming.
Like Self, Newspeak is message-based; all names are dynamically bound. However, like Smalltalk, Newspeak uses classes rather than prototypes. As in Beta, classes may nest. Because class names are late bound, all classes are virtual, every class can act as a mixin, and class hierarchy inheritance falls out automatically. Top level classes are essentially self contained parametric namespaces, and serve to define component style modules, which naturally define sandboxes in an object-capability style. Newspeak was deliberately designed as a principled dynamically typed language. We plan to evolve the language to support pluggable types.
Why Newspeak?
It's hard to justify a new programming language. Those of us who love programming languages need no justification: if we can make a better language, we obviously should. However, improving the state of the art isn't enough of a reason for those less passionate about the subject. The costs of learning, tooling and interoperability argue for the status quo. Fortunately, every now and then circumstances change enough to create an opening for new technology.
There are two such changes ongoing at the moment. One is the continuing evolution of the internet. There is growing demand for applications that work well on and off line, combining the ease of maintenance of web applications with the high quality user experience of local clients.
There are those who argue that the answer to these needs is do all computing on the server (in other words, a return to 1970s style time sharing, or early 90s style X-terminals). Instead, we believe in a notion of service oriented computing that allows for off-line operation and leverages the inherent advantages of client devices, while utilizing the strengths of the network. This idea, of objects as software services, has been presented in a whitepaper, slides, video and a blog post; these don't mention Newspeak directly, but they do suggest how certain language features could facilitate this notion. We've tried to make these features an integral part of Newspeak, which may make it especially relevant in the internet age.
The other big change is multicore processing. It's not clear how this will play out, but we may finally realize some of the promise of functional programming. And we're also very likely to see a lot more of actors, and a lot less of the poisonous coupling of concurrent computation with shared state. Newspeak is a natural fit with actor style concurrency, and fully supports higher order functions. Newspeak can support both a traditional imperative style, and a pure functional style. There is one exactly one construct in the entire language that makes it imperative; the rest depends on the libraries you use. So it's very easy to restrict oneself to coding in a pure functional style in Newspeak.
An initial prototype of Newspeak has been released, and may be downloaded here.
At the moment, Newspeak is very much a work in progress. The existing implementation runs on top of Squeak Smalltalk, and shares many of Squeak's libraries and infrastructure. However, Newspeak has its own GUI libraries and IDE infrastructure under development (see the screenshot below), and can be implemented independently of Squeak, Smalltalk or any particular VM or IDE.
Who's to blame for Newspeak:
Gilad Bracha, Peter Ahe, Vassili Bykov, Ryan Macnak, Eliot Miranda and Bill Maddox with invaluable contributions, both technical and otherwise, by Yaron Kashai.
Why is it called Newspeak?
In Orwell's novel 1984, Newspeak was a language that grew smaller over time. Unlike the case of natural languages, for a programming language this is actually a good thing. It is an ideal we strive for – a shrinkable language.

The Washington Nationals defeated the San Francisco Giants, 6-4, on Wednesday afternoon at AT&T Park. With the win, the Nationals took two out of three games in the series.
In what was supposed to be a pitcher's duel, Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg and Giants starter Tim Lincecum did not quite hold up their ends of the bargain. Strasburg went six innings and gave up four hits, two earned runs and four walks while striking out seven batters for the win. Lincecum was chased after four innings. He gave up eight hits, four earned runs and a walk while striking out five batters in the loss.
Jayson Werth did most of the damage for the Nats, going 2-for-4 at the plate with three RBI, one walk and one run scored. Danny Espinosa was also 2-for-4 and drove in two runs with his third inning homer. Kurt Suzuki plated the other run for Washington on a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning. The Giants tied the game at two in second inning on a Brandon Crawford two-RBI single. A Gregor Blanco RBI single cut the Nationals' lead to 6-3 in the eighth and an error by Adam LaRoche in the ninth allowed the Giants to get another run across.
Tyler Clippard pitched the ninth for the Nats and allowed one hit, one run (unearned) and struck out one batter to pick up his 25th save this season.
The Nationals (73-45) next series will begin in D.C. at Nationals Park on Friday against the New York Mets (55-61).

As a matter of selective necessity, man is an agent. He is, in his own apprehension, a centre of unfolding impulsive activity-'teleological activity.'

By force of being such an agent, he is possessed of a taste for effective work, and a distaste for futile effort. (Thorstein Veblen)

Furious activity is no substitute for understanding. (H. H. Williams)

The second day of the 2008 Dallas Fluid Power Conference & Expo was a continuation of the learning opportunities offered by our excellent presenters.
It is clear to me from the interest by the attendees to the sessions and to the trade fair that the Fluid Power Conference & Expo is a very viable forum fo the exchange of knowledge and information from vendor to customer. There is a sense of passion by the presenters that is obvious to the attendees.
The Fluid Power Conference & Expo is an in-person extension of the content of our monthly magazine,

To reduce or eliminate aggression or jealousy between animals. Spirit Essences Peacemaker is a primary remedy (and long-time bestseller) for conflicts between animals. It helps soften the edges and reduce tension and territorial "attitude." Also ideal for the re-introduction process where animals have had to be separated due to discord.
About Spirit Essences
Spirit Essence remedies are not like medicines or drugs and need not be swallowed; once the drops contact the animal, they are doing their job.
Easy Ways to Administer SpiritEssences
You want your animal companion to think of the remedy as a good thing, so never try to force it. Use one of the alternate methods if your animal does not like its mouth to be handled. See below for instructions on administering SpiritEssences.
Available in 2 oz liquid.
Country of Origin: USA
Manufacturer: Spirit Essences
Ingredients - Pure Eldorado Natural Spring Water, flower and other essences*, ethanol (as a preservative), Reiki energy, and Full Spectrum Light
*Includes a blend of the following: Agrimony, Beech, Holly, Impatiens, Walnut, Willow, Canyon Dudleya, Mallow, Oregon Grape, Poison Oak, Sweet Pea, Tiger Lily, Violet, Golden Rod Flower, Bluebells, Silvery Lupine, Mountain Dahlia, Columbine, Mule Deer, Prairie Dog, Prickly Pear Cactus.
Suggested Use
For most behavioral or emotional problems, we recommend starting with 3 or 4 times a day, for 2 weeks. Once improvement is established, usually within 2-4 weeks, you can wean the animal off by gradually decreasing the frequency of administration. A few animals may need to remain on essence treatment long term. Adding a few drops to the drinking water, or once-a-day administration by mouth, will probably be adequate. We have also found that most animals will also benefit from long-term administration of a maintenance formula.
In cases where the problem is mild, or had an acute cause, such as death of a companion or a move to a new house you may only need to use the prescription a few times before the problem is solved. In that case, the prescription may be discontinued.
For situations where you can catch the animal when it is doing the problem behavior, giving the prescription at that moment may be especially helpful. For instance, if the problem is compulsive licking, give the prescription when you see the animal licking, either by mouth or topically (as long as the skin is not raw or irritated) so that the animal licks the drops off its skin.
Remember that SpiritEssences are not treating specific behaviors, but rather the emotional or energetic imbalances underlying them. By helping the animal feel happier and more secure, we increase the likelihood that behavioral problems will be correspondingly diminished or eliminated. While no treatment can be guaranteed to work 100% for every single case, it is a very rare animal that does not noticeably respond to SpiritEssences.
Try not to let the dropper contact anything that can cause contamination when the dropper is put back in the bottle. However, if this occurs, simply rinse the dropper in hot running water before replacing it in the bottle.
If you are treating only one animal in a multi-animal household, it is perfectly all right to put the prescription in the common drinking water. It will not adversely affect the other animals, and may even be beneficial if those particular essences are also appropriate for them. If several animals in a household are being given different essence combinations, administer the drops by mouth or topically around the head and ears. For some of our formula sets, a base formula is given in the common drinking water, and specific formulas are given to each animal individually.

Spirit Essences - good product
By Riverwader
from Northern Colorado
About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Spirit Essences Peacemaker:
Use the Peacemaker essence in the boys' water bowl. They are still chasing the older, smaller cat, but I think it has mellowed them a bit and I feel better having it available. Much care has gone into the product and I think the whole line is high quality. I'm glad Only Natural Pet Store carried it. They were the only store that did.
Comment on this review
I think it's working
By donna
from Boulder, CO
I like this product because my cats don't detect it in their food and they actually eat it. Although you can also rub it into their fur/skin so they don't have to eat it. I think it has helped one of my cats be less aggressive toward my other cat. I have used it in combination with Bully Remedy and Scaredy Cat remedies.
This product helped
By Diana feral cat volunteer
from Blaine, MN
I have several cats, some that are long-term fosters and this product when used consistently has greatly helped to reduce spraying issues. I prefer just to put 2-3 drops in their food.
Use with Bully Essences
By Artlady
from Oklahoma
I use this along with the Bully Remedy. I think it helps but am not sure how well it works alone.

A new Project in Uganda aims to increase trade in honey, bringing more income to poor, rural beekeepers. The Project is being funded by the UK-based donor, Comic Relief, and implemented by The Uganda Export Promotion Board (UEPB), The Uganda National Apiculture Development Organisation (TUNADO) and Bees for Development. Together we have embarked on an 18-month Pilot Project with the ultimate goal of building sustainable livelihoods based on beekeeping by increasing incomes to poor households through increased honey trade.
Beekeeping is practised widely in Uganda. The local market for table honey is significant, and demand in urban areas outstrips supply. Trade opportunities for other bee products are also growing. However, inefficiencies in the supply chain and the low capacity of producers to understand and negotiate markets, means that this activity is not achieving its full potential in bringing income benefits to the poor.
The aim of this Project is to increase the volume of honey flowing from poor beekeeping communities to markets, and increase the flow of money in the opposite direction. TUNADO will take the lead to achieve this by building the capacity of producer groups and encouraging the development of mutually beneficial trading relationships between producers and buyers. TUNADO will also collate and disseminate appropriate information and deliver guidance to the sector. We recognise that honey traders, processors and packers need services and information, particularly to begin to engage with markets outside Uganda. UEPB will lead work including Ugandan representation at the International Apicultural Congress, Apimondia, taking place in Australia in September 2007, and equipping honey businesses with the necessary know-how to export. Bees for Development is responsible for overall project management and guidance.
This Pilot Project involves building of relationships, gaining crucial insights into business development approaches that can be scaled up to achieve growth, and understanding the complexities of the trade-enabling environment.
Globally the market for speciality honey is good, and we are sure that with the right assistance, Ugandan beekeepers could be delivering delicious and different, tropical African honeys to the world market.

Did you know that approximately 4 million adoptable dogs & cats are killed each year due mainly to overpopulation? Did you know that 25-30% of dogs for adoption in animal shelters are purebred? The other 70-75%, of course, are lovable, wonderful mixed-breed pets, just waiting for a chance to be your perfect new friend.
In an effort to help people make good choices when they adopt a dog or cat, many humane societies, SPCAs and pet rescues provide adoption counseling to help match you up with a pet for adoption.
If you have your heart set on a specific breed, before you check out a dog breeder or pet store, why not adopt a pet from a breed rescue organization? Breed rescues are groups that specialize in a particular breed of dog or cat.
Don't be fooled into thinking that animal shelters and pet rescues are filled with dog or cats that were discarded because they're "bad". Shelter pets for adoption are wonderful companions who became the victims of family tragedy, unlucky circumstances or irresponsible owners.
Did you know that many backyard dog breeders and pet stores who supply the majority of purebreds simply are selling inbred pets without care for preventing genetic problems? Mixed breed pets have less inbreeding, generally less inherited genetic disease, and therefore overall lower vet bills and happier pets!

Adopting a dog or cat from a humane society, an animal shelter, an SPCA, or a dog rescue or cat rescue group saves a life!
Pet Adoption is the loving option!
So, you want to adopt a pet, huh? Great idea! Here are a few reasons why pet adoption is the loving option:
Saving Lives: Whether you adopt a pet from a local animal shelter or a rescue organization, humane society or SPCA, you're saving lives. That's right: lives, as in more than one. I know, I know…you only want to adopt one dog or cat, right? Adoption saves more than just the life of the pet you adopt. If you adopt from an animal shelter, you're making room for another dog or cat, or you're allowing other dogs or cats at the shelter to be kept for a longer period of time, giving them a better shot at being adopted. If you adopt from a humane society, an SPCA or a rescue organization, you're allowing that organization to rescue another dog or cat for adoption at a public shelter, which, of course, saves the life of that little guy plus the lives of others at that shelter by creating space so new pets can be kept longer. As you can see, adoption is truly a continuous cycle of saving lives and it's the right thing to do!
You know what you're getting (especially if you adopt an adult): There are a lot of things to consider when you're deciding what kind of personality your new family member should have. When you adopt an adult dog or cat from a pet rescue, humane society or animal shelter instead of buying a puppy or kitten at a dog breeder or a pet store, what you see is what you get. Their personality is already developed, and you'll be able to spot the characteristics you're looking for much more easily than with a puppy or kitten. Pet rescue organizations, as well as many animal shelter SPCAs and humane societies provide animal adoption counseling, and are able to assess the personality of each dog or cat for adoption and carefully match you up with the right one for your lifestyle. With a puppy or kitten, there is a lot more guesswork involved. Sure, you can train your puppy or kitten on certain behaviors, but other traits (like activity level) seem to be inherent in each individual. Want to adopt a dog or cat who will instantly fit in with your family? That's easy when you adopt an adult from a humane society or SPCA, or from a rescue organization or animal shelter!
Pet adoption = an instant friend for life: Ask anybody who has adopted a pet, and they'll swear their bond with their rescued pal is as deep as they come. When you open your heart and your home to a pet who needs help, they really do show their appreciation for the rest of their life! Dogs or cats who have been uprooted from their homes, or have had difficult beginnings are likely to bond completely and deeply with their new human caretakers, whom they regard as heroes. Pups and kitties who find themselves in the shelter or at a rescue because of a death or other tragedy in their former human family usually go through a mourning period. Once they are adopted, however, they usually want nothing more than to please their new hero---YOU! No matter what circumstances brought them to the rescue, most cats and dogs for adoption are exceptionally affectionate and attentive, and make extremely loyal companions.
