It’s time for Paws' 3rd Annual Bark in the Park Dog Walk! This important event helps to raise much-needed funds to support the programs and services we provide to homeless animals in our community on a daily basis.
On Sunday September 19th, 2010 (rain or shine!) you and your dog can lend a paw to help homeless animals in our community receive the most precious gift of all - a second chance at love. The main event is a dog walk on the scenic wooded trails of Cranbury Park in Norwalk, CT but there are lots of other activities planned such as vendors, demonstrations, food concession, PAWS merchandise for sale and great prizes for those that participate in the walk.
Please visit their website and sign up to walk or help raise funds for PAWS!

Growing up my parents always told me that coyotes were more afraid of us than we are of them. With the recent coyote attacks in Rye, NY it reminds me that we should all be a little more cautious. In the month of June two toddlers on separate occasions were attacked by coyotes in Westchester, not far from their homes. Coyotes are wild animals looking out for their own survival. While I doubt they would approach a grown man or woman, please be mindful of your small children, and also your small pets. Don't leave your small dogs outside unattended, and be especially carfeul of your indoor/outdoor cats. They make easy prey for coyotes. The safest place for your cat is inside your home. If your cat still insits on going outside, make sure that you get him/her in the house before dark.
