Pets of the Week February 13, 2012


Dana is a one year old “foxy” terrier who is quite adept at finding ways to get to your heart. She takes her time to warm up, constantly assessing what she likes about you, and once you’re “a-okay,” then she will allow you to spend time with her. A perfect day for her includes some napping in the sun and cuddle time with her people. She is very direct when she wants attention — every girl wants you to know what will make her happy — and, if her vocal communication doesn’t work, she will resort to showing you her soulful puppy dog eyes. She does well with friendly felines and children, although she is little pickier about her canine companions. So if you’re looking for an independent female who can take care of herself, a cheerleader for you when you go on walks, or just someone to snuggle and watch movies with — Dana is the dog for you!


Nym is a four to five-month-old Buff Tabby youngster who was found wandering in Ninety Six lost from her home. Nobody came looking for her at the animal shelter, so she’s “on the market” for adoption. Nym is quite talkative. Quite. What exactly it is that she’s saying is up to your imagination. She loves attention and affection, along with access to an available lap for cuddling and napping. It’s best to let her call the shots when it comes to what activities you and she will engage in because you’ll get to hear about it if you don’t. Come to the Humane Society of Greenwood and adopt Nym to get a shot of nonstop entertainment and love added to your home.

Pets of the Week February 6, 2012


“Jubilant” is the word for this tug-of-war loving brindle boy — at almost 2 years old he’s the best of the American Staffordshire breed, brimming with affection and a massive play ethic, an effusive bundle of loving energy, all focused on YOU. Murphy was abandoned by his owners but his heart emerged unscathed; now he’ll happily be your outside dog — room to play is a must for him. Inside or out, this courageous youngster needs and deserves your caring attention. Our amiable Murphy enjoys the company of other dogs (beware, little dogs, he might romp right over you.) And his natural devotion to kids and family is yours for the asking. He’s not housetrained yet, but watch him cock his head when you give him instructions — he hangs on your every word and will strive to become your dream come true, just as surely as you’ll be his. Come see the stuff legendary loyalty is made of — ask for Murphy.


He’s a thoroughbred of a family cat — big, strong, intelligent and handsomer than heck, with a chiseled face, long, airy orange and white fur, and an outsized purr as exceptional as the rest of him; pick him up and he thrill-purrs high and low all at once, kind of harmonizing with himself, and certainly with you. After 10 years of tried and true loyalty, a divorce has landed this healthy, magnificent man-cat here, but Boo’s heart is as vast as the rest of him, and with eons of love left to give, he’s ready to move on. Gentleman Boo’s downy-soft fur is constantly clean, his box-keeping habits are admirable, he gets along fine with other cats, and he loves to talk — what better way to share daily wisdom? He’s already neutered and ready to go home with you today; don’t wait to claim the comfort of your exciting new friend named Boo.

She’s charmingly bashful at first, but when you’re already housetrained and beautifully mannered like Maci, there’s no reason to be shy! This gentle Lab/Hound mix is as tender-hearted as they come. At 4 years young Maci’s an ideal family dog — she’s adoring and trustworthy with kids, gets along fine with other pets, and is ready to show you her very own brand of loyalty. Maci’s easy to care for and already spayed; take her home with you today and shower her with attention, then bask in the abundant affection of this flawless this new friend.


Sink your fingers into his luxurious deep-pile coat and you’ll feel his purr — as quiet, strong, and gentle as the rest of him. Auto is a 3-year-old man of a cat; big, beautiful and laid back; he showed up at a home off Laurens Highway and turned himself in to the human world; life on the road didn’t suit him, his impeccable manners were going to waste and his extraordinary jewel-green eyes were unappreciated. Auto wants a home of his own where he can be your daily ally; and if kids, other cats, and/or dogs are included well so much the better. Come see what a clean companion a handsome man cat can be, and how soft a solid new friend can feel — especially one named Auto.

Pets of the Week January 25, 2012


This little rascal’s impeccably housetrained, and she can proudly “sit” and “shake” too — the tender loving education her early foster mother invested in her made Darla a pure delight of a family dog! She’s a fun, affectionate, almost one-year-old Doberman mix who exemplifies the loyal companion-dog breeding Dobie’s are known for. Gentle Darla’s black and tan beauty is only outshone by her happy disposition; she adores kids, loves other dogs and thinks cats are great, too. She’s easy to care for and civilized as can be; able to live in almost any home setting, as long as you give her the playtime she needs, and the human commitment she craves. Come meet this young paragon of home-and-family devotion; Darla’s all but done growing, however her heart knows no bounds, and she’s ready to give her unlimited love to you.


Mya is a 10-month-old brown tabby with hypnotic emerald green eyes, who is an affectionate friend to all. Mya can be coy at first, and after she’s had her fun teasing and flirting with you, she’ll quickly thank you for having fun with her. Mya was found as a formerly “lost” cat who wandered up to a home and that person kindly brought her to the animal shelter. It’s hard to believe such a cute, well-mannered and friendly cat would would find herself in such a situation! This cute little girl is spayed and ready to go home today!

Myctophobia begins Fundraising and Pre-Production

Bryan Wolford, from the Drunken Zombie Podcast and director of the short Whispers (see it on youtube) is preparing a new horror short for your entertainment. Thought I was going for a Cryptkeeper line like Inter-tainment, didn’t you? :) Check out the press release below. But more importantly, help get this project off the ground: http://www.indiegogo.com/Myctophobi – Donate now.

“Freakwolf Productions is happy to announce that their upcoming short film Myctophobia begins production in February as part of the short film compilation The Collective Volume 4. The theme of all the films on The Collective Volume 4 is emotions. Writer/Director Bryan Wolford was given Fear and while researching different phobias Bryan settled on Myctophobia which is labeled as a Fear of Darkness. He then crafted a story about Kelly who has a fear of the dark and while at home by herself the lights go out. She soon finds herself bombarded by sights and sounds that only strengthen her fear of the dark. Is all of it really happening or only in her head? The Collective Volume 4 is scheduled to premiere at the
Days Of The Dead convention (www.daysofthedead.net) on July 6th -July 8th in Indianapolis, Indiana.

With Myctophobia we want to bring a great atmospheric story to your screen. Sure blood and guts are fun sometimes but we want our viewers to feel Kelly’s dread in their stomachs. We will prove that you don’t need a big budget to produce  big scares. We want to bring that fear of darkness to life in front of your eyes and make you start to worry when you shut your lights off at night that you get a small pit in your stomach and try to convince yourself that the noise you just heard  was only the cat in the living room. Wait . . . do you even have a cat?

The project is currently fund raising through Indie Go Go in the hopes of raising a small amount of money to make sure the cast and crew gets a little pocket change out of the experience and to help pay for some special effects for the film. All of the filming with be done over a weekend in late February thus keeping the costs low. Anyone can donate to the project through the Indie Go Go page and receive incentives like signed copies of The Collective Volume 4, an invite to the cast and crew screening, and a cast and crew exclusive t-shirt. Info for donations can be found at IndieGoGo.Com/Myctophobia.

The main character of Kelly will be played by Kitsie Duncan. Kitsie has gained a dedicated following in the Indiana horror scene as a scream queen in numerous horror films and helps her husband Chris Jay in a producer role for their production company Darkrider Studios (www.darkriderstudios.com) which produces their own films as well as providing multiple media services. She was a producer and actress in the film Lethal Obsession which has made the rounds at
horror film festivals and horror conventions across the country.”
