Oprah show investigates puppy mills

By Barb :-) | Thursday, April 3, 2008, 10:13 AM

On Friday April 4, special correspondent Lisa Ling will appear on the Oprah Winfrey Show with an investigative report on puppy mills. Winfrey says the show is “for anybody anywhere who loves a dog, has ever loved a dog, or just cares about their basic right to humane treatment.”

Oprah is dedicating the show to her late Cocker Spaniel Sophie, who died last month due to kidney failure. Oprah’s 2-year-old Golden Retriever Gracie died last July when she choked on a ball she was playing with, so it has been a rough several months for Oprah and her pets.

Although Oprah hasn’t bought any of her dogs from a puppy mill, but after seeing the show has decided to get any future dogs from animal shelters.

GPS device

With the economy spiraling seemingly out of control, many people would do anything for a little treasure. On Saturday, Jan. 10, the Centerville-Washington Park District is attempting to give parkgoers just that. Grant Park, 501 Normandy Ridge Road in Centerville, is hosting an event called Cabin Fever Cache, offering a reason to get into the great outdoors despite cold temperatures. The event revolves around geocaching, a growing trend that is part time capsule, part treasure hunt. Think it sounds like something only a few nerdy, tree-hugging types might be into? Think again.
