Pets of the Week December 5, 2016

monicaMonica is a true beauty, sporting a chocolate and caramel-colored brindle coat that’s accented by a splash of white on her nose. Not only is this 1 year old Boxer and Boston Terrier mix stunning to look at, but she’s cheerful, bright-eyed, and eager to love. Monica is a “dog” in training. She has a great personality and really wants to please the people she’s around. She only needs someone to take the time to help mold her into all that she can be. She’s always willing to catch the ball, loves to chase a tossed a toy, and would be just as happy to curl up and watch TV on the couch.

brownieBrownie may not be your typical chocolate color, but she is definitely a sweet treat. A calm, quiet, 1 year old lady, Brownie’s impossible to resist when she curls up in your arms and gives you gentle kisses. Beautiful both inside and out, her soft, muted black, medium length coat is unique as it’s highlighted by an undercoat of gray. Happy to be your one and only or the sibling of another sweet kitty, Brownie is a wonderful friend for all and a perfect girl for snuggle time.

Arrival

Ultimately, Arrival is like Contact. I liked the design of the aliens in this movie, the path to communication, and the gut punch revelation for the main characters, but this was a long movie. I left the theater multiple times and did not feel like I missed anything when I got back.

Starring: Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was a fun romp in the Harry Potter world. It was nice to see another wizarding community – especially set during the prohibition era.

I really enjoyed this movie. Was it the best thing I have seen this year? Nope. But it was nowhere near the worst.

This movie had me smiling through most of it. It had good effects, funny comedic moments, and some spell-slinging action.

Thankfully, this is not exposition the movie. Since this is set in the Harry Potter world, we do not have to be reintroduced to the way things work here. We get some familiar names sprinkled throughout.

Loved the villain reveal at the end of the movie.

If you enjoyed the Harry Potter books or movies, you should see this in theaters.

Starring: Eddie Redmayne, Colin Farrell, Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller

Pets of the Week November 21, 2016

maverickTenderhearted, devoted, and calm are traits that Maverick has in abundance. This wise, 8 year young Labrador’s only want is to share his life with yours. His offering of soft kisses, a contagious smile, and amber glances will make you want to wrap your arms around him and never let go. Maverick appreciates the simple joys of life — a gentle touch, a walk, or a quiet moment — and expects nothing for his return of loyal love.

burtonThis young, orange classic Tabby is a three-legged one-of-a-kind wonder. At only a couple months old, he was surviving on his own at The Burton Center. After coming to the shelter, all were astonished to discover that he had a severely malformed front leg. Dr. Paula Watkins offered to remove the leg to give this little boy kitty more physical freedom. Fully recovered, and much more comfortable with people, Burton is now available for adoption. For his safety, he needs to be an indoor cat and given space to adjust to homestyle living.
