The Couple, the Kangaroo, the Goat and the Broken RV

A Beaver Dam couple has had a heck of a vacation traveling with their pet kangaroo and goat. Larry and Diana Moyer’s aging RV broke down several times, and the kangaroo and goat had to stay at a wildlife center while the Moyers stayed in a hotel. A fire in the RV destroyed their wallets and IDs. So much for a family vacation!

Clark Griswold had enough with Aunt Edna’s dog… imagine if a kangaroo had gotten involved!

Pet of the Week: Marvin

I’m partial to Marvin because he looks just like my Finner, a gorgeous orange and white cat with a big smile. Marvin is a snuggler and loves to show people that he cares about them. Marvin, also like my Finner, is a special needs cat… Marvin has allergies and loses fur during an allergy attack. Special food helps regulate Marvin’s allergies so he can concentrate on cat things like cuddling and sleeping. So many pets lose their homes to people’s allergies… can a pet with allergies find a home with loving people? Meet Marvin at the Two Left Paws Animal Sanctuary in Sheboygan.

Pet of the Week: Zoe

Zoe is a sweet Basset Hound mix that loves everyone. Kids and cats are no problem, and she loves other dogs. Zoe has epilepsy so she needs consistent vet visits and medication to keep her healthy. If you can offer just that little bit of extra care, Zoe can give you boundless love and companionship. Meet Zoe through Basset Buddies Rescue, Inc. in Muskego.

Dog Lynched in Cascade

A mixed breed named Smoky was abducted from his home and found hanging from a swing set in a Sheboygan county park. Smoky’s collar was attached to a swing, causing Smoky to suffer and struggle before suffocating to death. Investigators think Smoky’s owner was specifically targeted; his tires were also slashed.

Why can’t the murderer that did this suffer the same fate?
