A Chicken Was Found At A Tim Hortons In Fenelon Falls
/The Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes gets many different types of pets brought to it. But this one seems a little different.
Yes, it seems a chicken found at a Tim Hortons in Fenelon Falls near Peterborough was dropped off there on Wednesday.
The Tim Hortons Chicken
Apparently the chicken caused quite the traffic jam at the Tim Hortons. No word if it was lined up in the drive-thru.
So if anyone knows whose chicken it is, well she is now in Lindsay at the Humane Society headquarters.
The Humane Society says on its Facebook page post that it has lots of volunteers who would like her if she's not claimed.
Also, anyone who wants to use this obvious line we just thought of—"Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the Tim Hortons"—please do so.

Lansdowne Place Receives 3 Reports Of Dogs Being Left In Cars
/Police, the Humane Society and the media—including us—have been sending out constant messages to not leave your pets in hot cars. Because your pet could die. Unfortunately, not everyone seems to be getting the message.

We received this email below from Helen Edwards, Marketing Director, at Lansdowne Place Mall, today (September 4th):
"We need your help! This morning we have had 3 reports of dogs being left in cars in our parking lot, and while thankfully each one has been resolved without serious damage to the pet, we are concerned that this may be happening in other places without the same positive outcome.
Our Security Team believes that right now we may be dealing with people from out of town who in an effort to run a few errands before they make it to their destination are leaving their pets in the car.
If possible, can you please help us spread the word throughout the region in whatever outlet you have at your disposal? It is my hope that collectively we can potentially help save some loving pets from being permanently damaged."
Great reminder to everyone Helen!
Here is what to do if you see a pet in a hot car.
