Candidate Interviews

Wednesday, September 9, 2009

A visitor left a comment on an election-related entry from 2007, wondering which of our current crop of candidates are “animal-friendly.” Over at KRTV.com, there are video interviews with all of the candidates for Mayor and City Commission. Don’t know if any of them specifically addressed animal welfare. The Tribune also has an election section, but nothing specifically about animals that I noticed. Would love some feedback, though – any animal/pet-lovers have insight into where the candidates stand on...

Taking A Break

Watched three squirrels playing in the backyard yesterday – eyeing each other, giving chase, pausing to nibble, then more chasing up & down the trees and around the yard – and at one point this little fella just sorta plopped down on a branch, let his arms (paws?) hang down, and even closed his eyes for a few seconds…the other squirrels just wore him out!

Joshua The Dachschund

Finally got a picture of Joshua, courtesy of Shane – thanks. I want to thank you for giving Josh’s friends a venue to post comments about him, we are all grieving his passing in our own way. He was very special. I finally found a picture I took of him a couple of years ago when I took him to Gibson Park for a walk one summer day. Its not the best, but its the only one I have...

Cold Stone Creamery; Joshua

Wednesday, June 18, 2008

The article that Dona referred to about Cold Stone Creamery is right here; it sure sounds bad, but I am cautiously optimistic that the Great Falls location will do well. Heck, after checking out the CSC website, it sounds like a fun place…makes me want to apply for a job there just so I can sing to the customers! I continue to be amazed at the outpouring of love & support for Joshua, the beloved “mascot” of the Triple...

RIP, Joshua

RIP, Joshua

The Triple Crown Motor Inn, located downtown, mourns the loss of their mascot, Joshua. I assume (?) that Joshua was a dog that “lived” at the hotel and was loved by staff, residents, and visitors. Does anyone know anything at all about Joshua? UPDATE: wow – thanks, everyone, for sharing your thoughts about Joshua. Well, except for the first commenter, who is certainly entitled to his opinion, but who might benefit from the wisdom of “If you can’t say...

Friday At The Park

Friday At The Park

One way to counter the rainy-day grey is to enjoy lunch at the Park-n-Ponder at Gibson Park! Besides the usual fantastic food (and snarky service from Lionel, Fred, and Amy – heh), the geese and ducks never fail to amuse. Click the pic to see ‘em all. Among the highlights: a white pigeon and a black duck! Also noticed that one of the trees on the little “island” in the middle of Gibson Pond has fallen down – possibly...
