The outside kennels need to be completely remodeled or replaced as the concrete is deteriorating, the drain at the end is too small, partitions are not of adequate height or construction and there are sharp edges and points from damage to fencing and metal work. Due to gaps between the top of the kennel doors and the top cover there appears to be plenty of opportunity for escape and injury.

I grew up in Florida, which is the land of flea markets and swap meets. My grandmother loved to go these places, and she'd take me along.

I have an unusual hobby: I collect pictures of people I don't know. It started when I was a kid growing up in South Florida, the land of junk stores, garage sales, and flea markets, as a kind of coping mechanism.

You find a lot of junk when you're searching through lost and tossed photo ephemera, but every so often you'll find a gem, a wallet-sized masterpiece you're certain could hang on the wall of a gallery if only someone with a name had taken it. Find one or two of those and you're hooked for life.
