Seeing the Suffering of Puppy Mills Firsthand

Seeing the Suffering of Puppy Mills Firsthand

This article describes the Mississippi puppy raid as seen in the video in previous post which is the blog for my dogs and fosters. These conditions and puppy mills are found everywhere, not just Mississippi. Mississippi needs laws which would make animal cruelty a felony, not just a slap on the wrist with a fine.

70 Year Old Jockey Wins Race

Don't discount us 70-year-olds. We are winners.
Get out of your rocking chair and shake, rattle and roll!

I told my Mama once, when she was in her 80's,
that if she wanted to stay out of a nursing home,
then keep moving - keep walking - keep exercising.
That's what she did up into her 90's.
She was in good health until the end.
At 65 she went skiing with me.
This was about the time she went white water rafting.
At 70 she was square dancing at the World's Fair in New Orleans.

DAUPHIN ISLAND

We (daughter and grandson and I) are staying at Dauphin Island for a week. I love the non-commercialism and "back-to-nature" atmosphere here. We see no oil, and with the tourists staying away in droves and as you can see by the photo, we have the beach to ourselves, except for the crabs, sea turtles (laying season), and schools of large silver fish that are easy to spot in the clear water. We step on flounders as we wade - oops, and discover hermit crabs with our toes - ouch!

New Building and Changes to Meridian High School

The picture in the left foreground is the new 9th grade buidling that has been built on the original Meridian High School campus. The picture is taken from a parking area along 23rd avenue.

The MHS 10th grade was moved from Kate Griffin to MHS some years ago. The 8th and 7th grades were also moved to new middle schools throughout the city some years ago. In moving the 9th grade students to MHS, Kate Griffin will be closed as a public school, but will reopen in time to serve a different purpose yet to be decided.

The tennis courts on Poplar Springs Drive (sadly, for those of us on the tennis team in '58) have been removed and the area is simply vacant and grassy at this point. Our shade tree and water fountain were also removed. New tennis courts have been built south of the old baseball and football practice field on 24th avenue.

Lots of changes, but all looks to be painted and kept up well, so we can continue to be proud of the school.

MILLIE MAJORS JONES, RECOGNITION DAY

Here is Millie with Bettye Kimbrell on L and Pattie Robinson on R, at a recent Recognition Day at Poplar Springs Baptist Church, where Millie has been a member since she was 15. They have all taught Sunday School (first grade) for 20 years! Congratulations, Millie!

Millie has had to retire from teaching in order to care for her husband George, who has Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
