It’s that time of year again. The most wonderful time of the year is over, and spring’s arrival is still far off in the horizon. But you can banish the winter doldrums - forever - by adding a ray of sunshine to your life. No, you don’t need to move to the Caribbean - in fact, you don’t even need to leave the confines of Burlington County.
While dashing through the snow was fun in December, strolling along the beach sounds more appealing right now. Very good boy Dash is up for either adventure, and he’ll be by your side through all kinds of weather.
Now that the year that seemed like it would never end is officially in the rearview mirror, it’s time for fresh beginnings- for people and pets alike.
As the first light of the New Year, bright and full of promise, dawned on the Burlington County Animal Shelter, the pets were eager to draw up their own resolutions.

“I resolve to be the most handsome and dapper fellow that the shelter has ever seen,” declared Mr. Pip. Of course, this gray-and-white tuxedo kitty with piercing green eyes is already as handsome and dapper as any cat could hope to be!
WESTAMPTON Among paper, bottles and cans moving along a conveyer belt at the Burlington County Recycling Center workers spotted a backpack.
It s not unusual for residents to sometimes toss a trash item into their curbside recycling buckets, so at first sight a backpack did not surprise employees until it started to move.
And then cry.
In retrieving the backpack, shocked employees discovered three kittens stuffed inside all, thankfully, still alive.
Quite miraculous, the workers thought, because the apparently abandoned kittens survived quite a journey and more than frigid weather. They were dumped along with bottles and cans into a recycling truck picking up containers at curbside and then were dumped out again at the Burlington County Recycling Center in Westampton, where mixed recyclables are sorted and sent to commercial recyclers.
