Famous Celeb Spotted Watching Sea Lions on the Oregon Coast
Famous Celeb Spotted Watching Sea Lions on the Oregon Coast. I'm a huge fan of the Irwin family and I love their wildlife conservation work in Australia. Robert Irwin, the son of the famous "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin and Animal Activist Terri Irwin was recently spotted on the Oregon Coast watching some sea lions sunbathe and argue.

Pet of the Week: Karma
EUGENE, Ore. – Meet Karma, a sweet and friendly Shepherd pup who loves wrapping up a day of adventures with some cuddle time on the couch!. According to the Greenhill Humane Society, Karma is a three-year-old gal who would love to accompany her forever family on outdoor excursions, be it walking, running, or hiking. This sweet and friendly 57-pound pup’s loving demeanor makes her an ideal family pet and charms all who meet her with a silly smile, perky ears, and beautifully colorful coat, staffers said. Greenhill staff said that, at the end of a day of activity, Karma loves to plop down on the couch for snuggles. While Karma has played well with other dogs at their shelter, staff recommend that she meet any potential new siblings during a meet-and-greet and would need a slow, supervised introduction to any feline friends, the organization said. Greenhill said Karma is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines and, under a current promotion, all dogs adopted through July 7 will go home with a summer-themed gift.
