Rabbit Hash Kentucky: A Sad Time In Rabbit Hash ... Our benevolent mayor, Junior Cochran, passed away on May 17, 2008. Only the second canine elected as mayor of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky, Mayor Junior leaves behind a lasting legacy of goodwill. He served as the official ‘spokes-pet’ of the Women’s Crisis Center, and in 2005 he embarked on a Goodwill Tour that resulted in an Animal Planet documentary entitled: Mayor Dog. Our heartfelt thanks to Mayor Junior and all he did for Rabbit Hash. He will be missed by humans and canines alike.

Make Sure Peanut Butter is Safe
Because they scavenge when they can, many of us assume that dogs's stomaches can handle spoiled and contaminated food. Not a safe bet, according to the ASPCA
ASPCA: Pressroom: 2007 Press Release
As many pets—especially dogs—enjoy an occasional peanut butter treat, the ASPCA cautions pet parents against feeding recalled peanut butter to pets. Affected jars should be thrown out, and extra caution should be taken to ensure that pets do not access trash receptacles containing the discarded peanut butter.
