My dad was a postal carrier for much of his life and this issue is near and dear to my heart. If you see paw prints on a mailbox in Missouri, there's a very good reason it's there and the color really does matter.
No, you won't normally find alligators in Missouri. Yes, there was an alligator that was just spotted in a lake in the Show Me State. But, I've got some bad news and it's not about the alligator being found in a lake where it shouldn't have been.
It's hard to imagine that someone would take the time and resources required to obtain a horse only to abuse and neglect the animal, but that sadly happens more than you'd probably think. There's one place in Missouri that provides a safe haven for these abused and neglected animals and their effort is something you can be a part of, too.
It's that time of year when ticks rear their ugly blood-sucking heads and become a problem. Ticks are more than just an issue for people as experts are warning to be on the lookout for diseases currently spreading among the Missouri dog population.
I've heard it said that it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. That principle works for cats, too and I can prove it with a raccoon who got the jump-scare of his life thanks to a feline who is convinced he's Chuck Norris.
Even dog names can be a popularity contest. Take for example a brand new list showing the most popular canine names in Missouri for 2023. The top dog (literally) name means "beautiful" because of course it does.
This is hard to watch, but there's good news that came out of a desperate situation involving 4 severely starved horses who were rescued from a rural Missouri farm this week.
My family loves rabbits. We live in a rural area where they're common as do most people in the Missouri and Illinois area. However, if you happen to see a dead rabbit, it's important that you don't touch it. There is something else you need to do instead.
I think I know what's going on here, but I do have questions. It's a fun new video moment that's just been shared showing a deer licking a cat and it makes me wonder if Garfield the cartoon feline is real after all.
