Mr. Matthew Hough of Cuero felt the need to express his disdain for the local kids who ask if they can pet his dog when Mr. Hough takes the pooch for a walk in the local park. What follows is an example of grumpiness r

We've all read or heard stories about dogs doing such heroic acts as warning their family of a fire or other danger in the house, or finding people buried alive in some disaster. There are even quiet, everyday canine heroes who assist those with physical or other disabilities, such as visual impairment, or post traumatic stress disorder. Well, this time, the hero was a feline, who fended off an at

And now, just because Mondays can be such a pain, a little something to finish your day with a smile! Yes, it's a young bunny rabbit eating raspberries. No, this bunny doesn't belong to me. We had some rabbits when i was a kid. It started with just one (male, or "buck"). Then, someone gave us a female (doe). It didn't take long before we had about a dozen or more. What happened to them?

As you may know, my wife Sweetie and I moved our belongings from El Campo to Victoria over Easter weekend. Our new house hadn't been thoroughly cleaned before we started moving in, so we had to do some quick cleaning (which still isn't 100% finished). Then, there will be the final cleaning of our previous residence, which will take place this weekend. I found this article with some helpful cleanin

Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line loves his puppy so much he decided to share a photo of the pup with his 63,000 Instagram followers.

If you read a post I put up here last week, you know that my wife Sweetie and I have been hunting for a house to rent in Victoria. Well, y'all can stop searching for us now...we've found a home! It's a nice house on the northeast side of Victoria, with plenty of room for me, Sweetie, my "bonus" son, Kris (who lives with us due to a physical disability), our three dogs and 2 cats. We hope

Yes, it's true. My wife Sweetie and I need a house to rent somewhere in or around Victoria, preferably no more than a 20 minute drive into town. We need at least 3 bedrooms and would like to have 2 bathrooms, if possible. We also have 3 dogs (housebroken) and 2 cats (they use a box). All have been spayed/neutered (the animals, not the people!). We need to move (from El Campo) ASAP!

The 2014 Calhoun County Rabies Drive will be Monday through April 12. During the drive, Calhoun County residents can get their pets vaccinated at a reduced cost.
