Miracles happen—Peterborough cat Chester was found last week after having been missing for over a week. Another Peterborough cat, Tigger, has been missing for over a week as well and has not been found—and his owners are worried sick. Tigger is 2 years old, long haired, orange and neutered, and was lost in the Armour Rd area. He has never been in the cold before. Call 705-559-6658 if seen.
Lol, watch this video below Magic 96.7 radio personality Dan Duran filmed of his dog Clifford at a pet store...

ORIGINAL POST
It's one week today (January 7th) since an adorable orange cat named Chester went missing from his home. He is a 4-year-old Tabby/Maine Coon mix.
Chester is normally a indoor cat so the outside world is foreign to him. He is a male and is fixed. He went missing from the Sherbrooke Street Clonsilla Ave area between Sherbrooke Street and Westmount Pharmacy.
His owners really miss him and are worried sick that he is outside in the cold. Please call Debra at 705.748.5604 if you know his whereabouts.

Hank
Sad news to end 2014. The Doritos loving Blue Jay Hank, who was rescued earlier this year by the Williams family from certain death and became Peterborough's most popular and beloved pet—getting attention far and wide, including the Weather Network—has died after escaping from the Williams home earlier this week on Boxing Day. The domesticated bird's escape sparked a #FindHank hashtag that trended locally, with the community rallying to find him and bring him home safe. Hank, we'll miss you buddy and we'll never forget you. You made our Awesome list this year because you truly are that. This whole city fell in love with you. Our thoughts are with the Williams family. [UPDATE: Add your condolences on our Facebook post.]
Hank loved Doritos and Fresca

The Peterborough Humane Society needs your help...
Read MoreThe Peterborough Flyball Dogs are a dyanamic local club that train at Kawartha Moving and Storage on Mervin Street in Peterborough in a heated facility.
The Peterborough Flyball Dogs team is a not-for-profit organization. Members share the cost of training their dogs for this relay dog sport. The club meets weekly, during the competition season, from March until the end of August. They are going to be starting their fourth year of training in the new year.
Most of the dogs in the club are local, however, they have members that come from the surrounding communities and as far away as Oshawa to train with the team on Thursday evenings.
The new season begins March 2015, and if you think your dog might be interested in becoming a flyball dog, email here. The team has a roster cap of 20 dogs. They accept all breeds and are always on the lookout for the smaller breeds to act as "Height Dogs". Learn more on their Facebook page.
Spread the word!

On Wednesday (October 15th), the Peterborough Dog Club Off-Leash Dog Park held a grand opening ceremony, complete with a bagpiper and ribbon cutting ceremony with the Mayor and dignitaries. Volunteers and donors alike were thanked for their contributions, as it was a long process to to bring the park to fruition. Now officially open with two large pads and an additional tiny pad for smaller dogs, this off-leash park gives pooches a place to socialize and burn off some extra energy.
DIRECTIONS TO DOG PARK:
To get to the dog park, you can park alongside Ashburnham Drive, just North of Lansdowne Street along the right hand side. You will see a small parking lot (which may expand in the future) and a sign along a paved path indicating the direction to the park. You can also park along the rear of Morello's Independent Grocer (400 Lansdowne Street East) and the paved path right there will take you to the park.
