December 28th, just 3 frigid mornings after Christmas day, the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) started capturing 2500+ wild horses in Calico Mountains Complex, Nevada. This branch of our Department of the Interior has been rounding up an unprecedented number of wild horses and shipping them to an uncertain future. BLM scientists say that the land can’t support the horses, so for now 35,000 horses have end up in taxpayer funded feed lots, long term holding areas, or up for adoption. It costs us millions. What’s the real deal?
I think it’s because the BLM is passive-aggressive, just like I was when I was a husband – the first time around… but I’m better now. Lemme ‘splain. |

Last year three Alpacas moved in with the Bulman family in Duxbury. They arrived at the Bulman’s around Mother’s Day and are adjusting well, according to the family.
The Alpacas have been noticed around town because they’re not the typical Duxbury Yellow Lab. Maura Bulman has loved Alpacas since she was a little girl and finally decided to try her luck with them. Everything is running smoothly so far. |

Looking for an outdoor wonder pet? Consider the alpaca. They’re gentle, intelligent, lovable, highly disease-resistant, inexpensive to maintain, safe for little children, easy to handle, and income-producing.
People come to alpaca ownership for many reasons. Some raise them as a primary source of income; some as a part-time business venture; some to escape the pressures of the corporate lifestyle; some because caring for them is a rewarding family experience. But all agree it’s the personality of the alpaca that endears them to the breed.

Gus here, I am not a breed you see every day, but I have some unique characteristics in the dog world that make me one of the most recognizable breeds. My wrinkles are the first distinctive trait that draws people to me. I was a very cute, wrinkly puppy, but my personality is quite different as I mature. My wrinkles are mostly limited to my face and neck now that I am almost full grown. Our name Shar-Pei literally means “sand-skin” which translates to “rough, sandy coat” or “sandpaper–like coat”. This refers to the two qualities of my coat- the roughness and the shortness that are unique in the dog world. We are one of two dog breeds that have a blue-black tongue, the other being a Chow-Chow which indicates we could be related. |
