Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

The system formerly known as Debby is long gone and now we can enjoy nice dry Canadian air for the next several days. Dew points will be slowly coming down today but they will still be on the high side into the afternoon. Look for decreasing clouds and increasing sunshine from west to east on this Saturday. High temperatures will be mostly in the lower 80s. Some warmer spots to the south could push it to 84 or 85 for a high. Dew points will be settling in the upper 50s to lower 60s by the end of the day. We have no issues with showers as the radars are going to be nice and quiet locally for awhile.

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.
