Sabbatical years, leisure time, and television; Israel week in review

A unique Israeli commemoration is rightly restored
Plus anti-Jewish bomb plot neutralized, and more in the news
This week's parasha, a discussion of the sabbatical year, should serve as a reminder that the most precious thing we have is free time. And it's time we stopped wasting it in front of the television.
In the interest of time, I'll keep this column short. Maybe then more of you will find the time to read it. You, after all, have other things going on in your lives: More than 85 percent of you, if you're male, and 66 percent, if you're female, work more than 40 hours each week. On average, you work 137 more hours a year than your counterparts in Japan and 260 hours more than your friends in Britain. Don't even get me started about Germany: If the average Berliner wanted to catch up, he'd have to put in a staggering 499 hours, which is slightly more than 20 days. Then there's the absence of paid parental leave—a virtue we share with virtually no other industrialized nation on earth—and the pitifully small number of vacation days we take each year (13, as opposed to a cool 30 in Finland) and all the other predatory policies that make these here United States among the least amenable in the world to true family values.More

Busy week at the Shelter!

Second Chance Animal Shelter, Inc.
Busy Week at the Shelter!
Where do shelter pets come from?
 

Many people ask where all the wonderful pets come from that are at our shelter.  They come from several places:

 - they come in from animal control that were abandoned, unclaimed strays, or taken away from uncaring owners.

- they come from owners who can no longer care for them because of lloss of job, moving, allergies, or simply no longer want.

- they are offspring from pets and are unwanted litters.

- they are dogs purchased on an impulse at a pet shop and then no longer wanted.

- they are found stray cats abandoned by owners who moved or simply dropped them off.

- the list goes on....

But, all the pets that come to Second Chance get a "Second Chance".  They are vaccinated, flea treated, wormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, medical assessed, and much more.  Then they are put up for adoption so that they can have a Second Chance with a famly that will love them forever.

Dear omss,

Few people realize how busy our shelter can be.  The article below gives you insight into just one week....
Busy Times....
Few people that come to a shelter for a visit realize all that is going on behind the scenes or just how many pets are being taken care of at one time.  Last week is a perfect example of how busy things are.
In just one week, the shelter took in over 25 pets and performed spay/neuter services for another 100.  In addition, there were over 60 pets in the shelter, in foster care, or one of our other programs that needed to be cared for and looked after. 
It costs the shelter over $1,500.00 per day to operate.  Medications are expense as well as the care of these pets.  At Second Chance we take great pride in ensuring that our homeless pets get the best care possible while they are awaiting their forever homes.
Thank you for reading our newsletters, donatings, volunteering, and helping in any way you can.  Every helping hand is needed to be able to do what we do.
  

Kia needs to get a ride to a new home!
 KaiI am a beautiful short hair cat that would love to be with you. Do you ever just have a feeling that you know the right person is just waiting for you? I feel certain that there is someone out there who is looking for me...is it you? Are you looking to share your life and heart with an affectionate, wise and soulful creature like myself? I hope so. So, for now, I wait patiently for my special someone and dream about the naps we'll take together, cozy bed I'll stretch out on and the companionship that surely awaits me.  To learn more about me and my other feline friends, go to:  http://www.secondchanceanimals.org/adoptablecats.htm

 


A Happy Ending
LeelooHi Second Chance,
When my beautiful, perfect, precious, 2 year old Moomba died suddenly, I was devastated. I decided it was time to stop talking about volunteering at Second Chance Animal Shelter and just do it. It has been the most rewarding and healing thing that I have ever done. After being there a few Friday evenings I was needed in the 'back room' where all the kitties were in quarantine awaiting spaying, neutering, medicine and vet checks. There was a litter of Tabby kittens and one of them started calling my name. She was very adamant about getting my attention, crying and climbing the cage door. I didn't think I was ready, but she quickly stole my heart! Not to be outdone was a sibling sticking her little nose through the cage door, and again my heart was stolen! Leeloo and Tootsie came home with me on Memorial Day Weekend 2010. I cannot imagine life without the two of them and think all kitties should be adopted in pairs. They keep each other company while I am at work and delight me with their crazy racing, chasing and general silliness. They are helping me to get through the loss of my other kitty who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge this February. I can't think of a better way to start my weekends than by being at the shelter, cleaning kitty cages and giving all the beauties love and affection.

Diane

 

Don't forget that this weekend is the Tantasqua Wag and Walk for our homeless pets.  Thank you to the Tantasqua NHS Students for sponsoring this event.  For details, be sure to go to our website at www.secondchanceanimals.org

Every parent has probably dreamed at some point of dropping the kids off with the neighbors—and then never coming back!

Born to Run…  Or Walk Or Swim Or Fly

Why are some creatures born well-developed and able to elude predators while others need constant attention from their parents to survive?

When you think about it—it’s hard not to notice.  For instance, some baby birds hatch with no feathers and eyes closed while others are able to leave the nest shortly after hatching.  No surprise, scientists have thought about this and have some interesting things to say.

Click here to learn the difference between precocial and altricial animals. Don’t let the technical terms put you off—it’s quite interesting!

Born to Run…  Or  Walk Or Swim Or Fly
Able to stand almost at birth, the Pronghorn is the fastest animal in the Western Hemisphere and among the fastest in the world. Often making 20-foot bounds, they have been clocked at 70 mph for three to four minutes at a time. Speeds of 45 mph are not unusual, and the animal can maintain an easy cruising speed of 30 mph for about 15 miles.

Our Name Game Tells the Stories of Some Interestingly Named Creatures

With wildlife, a species’ common name often makes perfect sense—the Bald Eagle is one obvious example. But sometimes a name tells us more about the humans who determined that name than the creature it describes.

So test your knowledge of common names with a special eNature quiz.

Here’s the first question to get you started:  What’s a Daddy-long-legs?
