Issue: July 24, 2014
Rood rorning readers,
Sorry, I think my dog took over my keyboard for a sec. Good morning!
Welcome to our first Pet Issue! I hope you're all as excited about it as
I am, because we have a whole lotta pet love to go 'round. In our
feature package, we explore the worlds of homeless pets, a local cat
sanctuary, a pet cemetery in Anderson and a haven for our more scaly
friends. And, because we love animals so much, we decided to fit many
other stories throughout the book to the same theme. Our Greenways
story, for instance, delves into eco-friendly pet foods (and how to best
throw out their waste); 15 Minutes checks in with a local dog trainer;
Healthlines looks at pets as therapy; and in News we have an update on
the confusion over at Butte Humane Society/city animal services. If
you're not afraid to shed a tear, make sure to read CN&R Editor Melissa
Daugherty's column, Second & Flume, about her beloved, now-deceased dog Bo.
There are a few other things on tap, naturally. A few hints: There's
something about looting at Lake Oroville, a couple who've made it their
mission to help Afghan refugee girls in Pakistan; and the lowdown on a
tiny little event that took place at a local brewery last week (note the
sarcasm).
I know you're reading this on your computer or smartphone or tablet or
some such device, but please also do pick up a print copy of the paper
this week to see our Facebook photo contest winners! And to find out
what the CN&R staff pets had to say when asked to describe a good day in
Streetalk.
Adios till next week,
Meredith J. Graham, associate editor
