Shelter dogs often express their desperation for a loving forever family differently. Some curl up in a corner to hide their heartbroken faces from the world, especially if they’ve been waiting for a home for too long. Others circle inside their kennels non-stop because they just can’t remain still in the face of deep-seated kennel stress. Then there are those who, as desperate as they are, gather the strength to wag their tails and put on a hopeful face and a genuine smile.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

(MA) Get ready to fall in love with the gentlest little dog around. Mary Anne is a young Chihuahua who recently came into Great Dog Rescue New England's care for unspecified reasons. This little lap pup is currently living safely with a foster, but she hopes for not much longer.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
