 I have been writing animal and pet-related columns for many different publications over the years, including the Daytona Beach News-Journal and Seniors Today. During this time, I have written over one hundred columns and have nurtured a reader base of once just a few to now many thousands and still growing.Some of the columns are more informational, while others are stories and, in some cases, even whimsical. I have always been an animal lover. I am one of those people who believe the first thing that happens when you arrive at the pearly gates is being greeted by the pets you have lost over the years. Oh, how I truly hope this is the case. I would gladly pick up the dog poop from sixteen dogs and one cat if I could spend eternity with my best friends. (Also hoping no one or animal poops in heaven, but if that's the case, so be it.)All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to benefit shelter animals. At the time of this writing, I am the Community Outreach Director of Halifax Humane Society in Daytona Beach, FL. The lion's share (75%) of the proceeds will be donated to this organization. The remaining balance will be donated to smaller rescues in need of funding to maintain their operations.Thank you for purchasing or downloading this book. Your kindness and generosity are much appreciated. Remember, adopt, don't shop.© 2025 Why Do People Have Pets?

    Column Seven - Feral Cats and What to Do About Them
    May 15 2025

    We receive calls daily from residents of every city in Volusia County asking if we will come pick up the feral cats in their neighborhood. Halifax Humane Society does not, nor are we authorized to, pick up feral cats. The proper course of action is to contact your local animal control agency or the police department, which will connect you with animal control. They are the agency authorized to deal with feral cats. Another organization, CCFAW.org (Concerned Citizens for Animal Welfare) will also coordinate the trap, neuter, return (TNR) of feral cats in certain areas. HHS performs the spay/neuter surgeries for the cats but does not participate in trapping or transport.

    Column Six – Even Goldfish Need a Home
    May 15 2025

    Many seniors do not have a pet dog or cat because they don’t want to deal with the maintenance that comes along with a furry pet. Walks, picking up poop, litter boxes, 25 lb. bags of food, etc. However, there is one pet you can have that is very easy to care for, and that is the ever-popular goldfish.

    Column Five - The Heart of a Child
    May 15 2025

    Most recently I had the opportunity to talk to small groups of children ages 6-8, who attended the Halifax Humane Society (HHS) Summer Camp. I found their level of love and kindness for the animals fascinating, to the point where a few of the campers would tear up when we had to take the dog or cat away to allow the camp to move on to the next presenter.
