CON – Ohio is home to two professional football teams, the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinatti Bengals, that should probably go back to being amateurs. And you don’t even want to get started on the disasters that are the Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Cincinnati Reds.

The Sanctuary for Senior Dogs , in Cleveland, OH is a wonderful organization! They take in older dogs and try to find them homes. The Sanctuary for Senior Dogs makes a lifelong commitment to the dogs they rescue. so even if the dog is too ill or too poorly socialized to be adopted into a loving home, that dog stays with an experienced Sanctuary foster caregiver for life. There has been a big upswing in the number of loving, older dogs, being given up.

Not so much of the Bullock’s, because everything outside of New York, and especially everything in the vague space in my mind labelled “Out West” – past, say, Cleveland Ohio, a land of Scissor-tailed Flycatchers, California Condors, Lazuli Buntings, and Green Jays , all equally impossibly exotic – might as well have been Phoenicia. I can’t possibly remember when the Baltimore and Bullock’s Orioles were lumped into Northern Oriole.

Wynne from Cleveland. Dogs, as well as cats, are considered the most popular and delighting pets all over the world. However, sometimes it is difficult to recognize them just as pets, which preserve silence and follow their masters almost everywhere. Is it possible to observe some features of humans in their behavior? Yes, responsible and caring individuals often treat them as family members, which seems essential and adorable.

Like when Cleveland local Lebron James showed up in Miami and started playing basketball for the Heat. But Panama is probably better off than the Cleveland Cavaliers, whose chances of winning a NBA title without LeBron are pretty slim.

Mark Gamin, a Cleveland lawyer, likes both birds and books, which makes him an ideal birding book reviewer. He previously reviewed Cat Wars: The Devastating Consequences of a Cuddly Killer for 10,000 Birds. If you’re a birder, it would be wonderful to know all the songs and calls, and if you’re a bicyclist, it would be wonderful to ride across the United States.

The image above is the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland Ohio. The citizens of Cleveland, and indeed the nation, decided something needed to be done about the pollution of our waterways. For those of you who may have forgotten, or some who never knew, we once had rivers in the United States that would catch fire because they were so polluted. The Cuyahoga River caught fire thirteen times between 1868 and 1969.
