VINELAND - Pet
lovers hit the Internet on Thursday to warn others about a local cross-dresser
who posed as a veterinarian.
People posted on craigslist.org and a variety of pet-oriented Internet
forums to spread the word about South Jersey Small Animal Rescue and "Dr.
Danielle Smith," who had taken animals, set up adoptions and prescribed
drugs.
This person, however, was neither a veterinarian nor a woman, authorities
said. Rather, it was really 26-year-old ex-con Daniel C. Tyce, whom Vineland
police arrested on charges of practicing without a license.
"SCAM," several posts proclaimed.
Some warned others to stay away from South Jersey Small Animal Rescue.
Others simply told their story, such as one person who wrote of paying
$300 to adopt a dog from Cameroon and another who gave Tyce two chinchillas
for adoption.
Egg Harbor Township resident
Leah Drobel warned fellow ferret lovers about Tyce, whom Drobel found through
an Internet search for ferret adoptions. Tyce set up Drobel with what was
supposed to be a young ferret, but Drobel said she learned later the ferret

MoviesOnline sat down recently with Paul
Bettany to talk about his new film, “Inkheart,” a
fantasy adventure based on the best-selling book by Cornelia Funke
that sends a father and daughter on a quest through worlds both real
and imagined in search of a family member who disappeared under mysterious
circumstances.
Paul Bettany plays Dustfinger, the homesick fire juggler whom Mo accidentally
brings to life while reading the novel, Inkheart. Director Iain Softley
tells us, "From the beginning, Paul was the person I had thought of
for Dustfinger. He has that mercurial and mischievous quality that
Dustfinger has. And he played his emotional scenes with great depth
and understanding."
Paul Bettany is an amazing actor and we really appreciated his time.
Here’s what he had to tell us about his new movie, “Inkheart”:
Q: What was the challenge with that ferret? Eliza said
you got the worst of it?
Paul Bettany: I did get the worst of it. It’s a
real big tradeoff. And here's the thing about ferrets is that male
ferrets are very docile, so that's the one that sits on your shoulder
like this. And that it sounds hugely un-PC, but we are talking about
ferrets. The female ferrets are vicious.
Q: Really?
Paul Bettany: Vicious. And so they put a bit of baby food
up here (behind his ear) and then they show the female ferret the baby
food, and it’s like ah-ah-ash-ah. And then they run off. And
they let it go and it goes hell for leather towards you Recommend this article... |

STROUDSBURG — Five roommates came home from
a long night of fun and hit the sack in their apartment near the Ann
Street outlet complex.
"When we got up, we all asked if someone pulled
a prank," said Joe Caviston.
But it was no prank.
They woke up to see keys, wallets, laptops and other
items gone. Worst of all, they found their pet ferret's cage door wide
open and Rocco missing.
"We were out until about 4 a.m. that night and the
last one of us fell asleep around 5 a.m.," Caviston said. "We narrowed
it down to him (the thief) coming in shortly after 5 a.m."
Valuable electronics including digital cameras and
cell phones were stolen on the night of Dec. 12. Recommend this article... |

Jane Drummond: Pets are a long-term commitment |

The Joplin Globe
By Jane Drummond
I’m hearing a familiar ring to
what a lot of kids are asking for this year for Christmas! I hear
it every year from lots of the families I see in Parents as Teachers.
Kids want a pet. I say proceed with EXTREME caution.
Although a pet can be a wonderful addition
to your family, each year I have seen new pets come at Christmas
only to be given up on by January. In case your kid is hounding
you for a pet this holiday season, I turned to local veterinarian
Dr. Liberty Boyer for some advice and things to strongly consider
before adopting a new family member.
First of all, Dr. Boyer points out that
ALL pets are a commitment of time and money. A free puppy or kitten
will cost approximately $200 to $400 its first year for basic veterinary
care, including vaccinations and neutering. Then there are costs
throughout the pet’s life such as preventive medicines, staying
about the same each year IF the pet stays healthy.

Ferrets can learn not to nip |

I care for sick and injured ferrets.
It is not a general dumping ground for unwanted ferrets, and I get
little "kids" only by reference from one particular veterinarian. I
have six ferret "kids" that are on medication and one that just came
in that I might adopt out at the right time to a good family.
Ferrets are among the top-three popular pets in the United States. They have
been around for more than 3,000 years as a domestic pet and cannot live more
then three days on their own because they cannot hunt and would starve. They
must have human contact every day with anyone the age of 12 or older; children
younger than 12 can harm ferrets.
