I am old and old-fashioned. I have been writing this column on Alabama government and political history for 20 years, and it appears weekly in more than 60 newspapers. Folks believe what they read in their local papers because local editors and journalists they trust act as a filter to provide them with the truth.
Hi I’m Timothy! I’m a one year old lab mix who is up to date on all of my shots. I’m neutered and heartworm negative! The people at the Humane Society say that I’m pocket size because I'm small and I won’t get any bigger. I really would like to have a family of my own with children who like to swim, give belly rubs, and play chase with me. If I am the right dog for your family, please call the Bullock County Humane Society at 334-738-7387.
