- What kind of pet do you have and what's his or her name?
- Our family is blessed with Zach, an 6-year-old Shar-pei and Labrador mix. Beta, my 14-year-old Shar-pei-Dalmatian mix, died at the end of April 2008. Sister, aka Bear, was adopted from The Animal Support Center in Las Vegas, NM. Jimmy, aka James Bond, was rescued from Clovis. Our latest addition is from the Santa Fe shelter, Mimi, also a Shar-Pei mix. Our beloved Chihuahua, Olivia, died at the beginning to 2012. In May, we adopted Dolly, a Chihuahua-Jack Russel Terrier mix. She was among three puppies we bottle-feed to maturity after their poor mother died. We also have a houseful of birds, including Joaquin, a cockatiel, budgies, parrotlets and canaries.

Noel - victim of a cat-napping
Hi everyone,
I wonder if you can be on the lookout for Noel, a young kitten who was apparently stolen from a vehicle parked at Atalaya Elementary School, 721 Camino Cabra, sometime between 3-4 p.m. on Saturday. Noel, unfortunately, is not microchipped. She is, however, recently spayed, and was last seen…

Lovin' Labs needs our help!
Meet Hope and Caleb, two beautiful siblings. They waited for a rescue or an adopter to come along in an over crowded shelter outside of Albuquerque. No one ever did. Something about these kids struck a chord with us, and we pulled them to safety. They are two young German Shepherd mix…

HELP KODIE FIND A HOME
This gorgeous, loving, devoted 14-month-old neutered pup needs a home – fast. Kodie is an American bulldog/Great Pyrness who weighs 75 pounds. He’s fully vetted, microchipped, leash trained, crate trained and house trained. He loves some dogs, but has had some issues with dogs that challenge him.
He adores…

No protesters, just 1 kill at NM coyote contest
By Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE — Only one coyote had been shot so far and no protesters showed up Saturday at a New Mexico gun shop sponsoring a coyote hunting contest this weekend that set off howls of protests from animal activists.
In fact, television and radio reporters milling in the shop's parking lot were the biggest problem the hunt created, said Rick Gross, business manager of Gunhawk Firearms in Los Lunas.
Animal activists and the state's trust land…

Hi, Ben. In case you are the one responsible for posting the AP article on GPS for pets, I want to thank you so very much for doing so. Using tracking devices for our pets has been a cause of mine for years. The products are becoming more advanced and affordable. Great to see more info on these fabulous systems to help people find their lost animals.
With appreciation,
Shari

HILLARY VERMONT said… - Hi Ben,
It was fun to finally meet you at Barkin Ball. What a great event. I saw one other person wearing my Dogs Rock tee shirt! Could you give a Woof Out to all doggy owners in Santa Fe...our new Flea at the Santa Fe Downs (off 1-25 and 599) IS DOGGY FRIENDLY! They can even see Hula on the big "The FLEA" sign I painted that can be seen from the highway. It's a great destination to share with a doggy...and they should come see the best doggy tee shirts (for adults!) in the Big Tent aisle 1 ! we are there through Thanksgiving, Sat/Sun 9-3. Woof Y'all.

- Lieber Ben,
Es war sehr schön, Dich vorhin zu sehen.
Ich hatte noch keine Zeit, etwas über unseren Ausflug heute nachmittag zu schreiben, aber ich werde es morgen tun. Ich nehme an, Du kannst Dir denken, warum ich auf Deutsch schreibe…

- It is, though there are two (other was a reporter in Kansas). Been with AP for four years. Cover the coal industry nationally. Say hi to your mother. I am jealous of the trip up north.

- Hi Ben. Then I moved from the Midwest to West Virginia and tracked you down. I may have to drop in, since I have family there in Santa Fe.
