cvillenews.com redesigned for its sixth anniversary.

Our newest foster, Lady Bird.
This is Lady Bird, a purebred tri-color beagle. We took her in from the SPCA a week ago Sunday, and she’ll be living with us for a while, hopefully until she finds a home. She’s a sweet old girl. Though there’s no telling how old she really is, her front teeth are worn down to …
