Pets of the Week December 31, 2018

DenoThe first thing that pops into your mind when you meet Deno is that he is one silly pup. And he is. From his comical expressions to his innocently sweet personality, he is sure to make you laugh every day. Deno is a 1-year-old Black Labrador Retriever mix with a white chin and a strip of white down his chest. Being a young fellow, he has plenty of energy, seeming to love squeaky toys more than anything else. And, of course, he also wants to spend time with his people. He gets along well with other dogs, and is overall, just a wonderfully even-tempered pooch. Come meet Deno today.

MelissaIs your family missing something? Perhaps a special animal that wants nothing more than to curl up in your lap while you read or watch TV? If so, than look no further than Melissa. This gorgeous 1-year-old Calico is a gentle soul who’s grown out of that playful kitten stage, much preferring to simply relax in a favorite spot and be adored. Her orange, black, and white coat is truly magnificent, and her yellow-golden eyes radiate intelligence. Melissa likes having her humans all to herself, and she’s hoping that perfect someone is going to come along and treat her like the princess she is.

Pets of the Week December 24, 2018

FeFeWith a name like Fefe, you might be expecting a dainty, curly-haired little pooch, but don’t let appearances deceive you. This 2-year-old brown and white American Staffordshire Terrier mix might look tough, but she’s actually a real softy. She loves nothing more than cuddling in a lap, and she’d probably be delighted to get her nails painted and have pretty things to wear. Being a young dog, she can be quite energetic, but she’d much rather take a walk or settle on the couch to watch a movie than chase a tennis ball. Fefe seems to like male dogs, but wants to be the only queen in the castle. Come visit Fefe today. She’s sure to claim your heart.

RollyRolly is, without a doubt, one of the best cats you’ll ever have the pleasure of meeting. She is the girl next door, the pageant beauty, and the sophisticated queen all rolled into one. You can’t ask for more as this stunning 9-month-old, brown and white Tabby lays in your arms, softly purring and locking her golden eyes on you. She greets you with kindness, hoping for an ear scratch or a cuddle, but she’s never demanding and certainly accepts a sweet hello and gentle pet. You’ll want to meet this All-American girl, for she’s going to fill your home with wholesome goodness, royalty, and good old-fashioned love.

Aquaman

Had some misses in the middle. But a good Hero’s Journey. Very King Arthur.

Of the recent batch of Warner Brothers DC movies, it is second only to Wonder Woman. But it does meander some in the middle. I appreciated the way Arthur’s young life is sprinkled throughout the film in small bits.

Aquaman is set after the events of Justice League. There is a mid-credits scene, but it is not needed. It basically tells you what you expect. Remember, if you do not see the body, they are not dead.

Synopsis from IMDB:
Arthur Curry learns that he is the heir to the underwater kingdom of Atlantis, and must step forward to lead his people and be a hero to the world. And prevent war between land and sea.

Starring: Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Nicole Kidman, Dolph Lundgren, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Temuera Morrison, Ludi Lin

Pets of the Week December 17, 2018

BravoThis loving boy is so eager to please, you’ll be calling his name, Bravo, simply as praise for his hard work. He’s a two-year-old Chocolate Lab mix with a big heart and even bigger smile. Very intelligent and highly energetic, he’s looking for a home where he’ll be provided with plenty of activities. He’d be thrilled to go hiking or jogging regularly or at least have a furry friend or two who like to play as much as he does. Bravo loves meeting new people, and nothing makes him happier than one-on-one attention from his favorite humans. Come see if Bravo is what your family has been missing.

JasperJasper is one of the most carefree kittens you’ll ever meet, seeming to believe that life is meant for nothing other than good times. He never meets a stranger and is always the first one to greet new kitties when they join him in the playroom. He’s a handsome black and brown tabby whose coat is accented with bright white on the very tip of his tail, as though it’s been dipped in paint. He also has unique eyes, as a brief illness when he was quite young caused some scar tissue, but he certainly doesn’t let it slow him down. Jasper is a one-of-a-kind cat looking for a special forever home.
