A lot has happened during the time we were down, and we weren’t able to comment on it. We’ll have a few thoughts on many of these topics when we come back.
Among the events we missed were these:

• Michael Vick self-destructed
• Georgia finally passed a strong anti-dog fighting law
• A gorilla sanctuary opened in north Georgia
• A local vet made a public fool of himself
• Georgia rescue groups began actively using the northeast pipeline
• A baby zebra was abandoned along an interstate, but found a good home.
• A young girl was kidnapped and murdered while hiking with her dog on a trail we have recommended and hiked ourselves many times. (See the accompanying article.)

And a lot more.

We’ll have something to say about all of this and more when we introduce the new critterchatter.com in a few weeks. Look for us in early July.
