May 7, 2008 Meet Opal and Topaz...

probably litter mates, since both are about five years old. Opal
is a spayed female, and Topaz is a neutered male. They are very
attached to each other, gentle and affectionate. Their Reference
Numbers are 404761 and 404762. Meet Benji...
Benji is a neutered male rabbit, about 1 year old. He’s active and playful, and would make a great companion. His Reference Number is 394266. (Publisher's Note: The domestic rabbit has become another "throw-away" pet in America. Humane societies and rabbit rescue groups are often inundated with rabbits people have grown tired of, or can't keep for other reasons. One estimate is that one million rabbits are killed each year across the country, with more rabbits given to shelters, or let go, after the Easter holidays. If you are interested in adopting a rabbit as a house pet you can get get good information about these hard-to-resist pets at House Rabbit Society Rabbit Care Guide ) For Princess the dog's story and photo please click on "About Animals" link below.

September 30, 2003 On a perfect autumn day last week, local pilot Steve Van Cleve took to the air with photographer Donny O'Brien. Between the men ENN has very interesting aerial photographers for you to enjoy. Above is the mill pond and burner, all that remains at the site of the Eatonville Lumber Company which kept the town booming in the early days. The pond is home to various wildlife - beavers and otters have been spotted in the old wetland and, of course, numerous migratory birds visit during the fall and spring months. The Van Eaton Cabin can be seen on the corner near the highway. And the town sewer "pond" is across the highway.
