Paws To Reflect: The True Meaning of National Puppy DayNo Love Like Puppy Love! "Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole."... Roger Carras Who could possibly resist the charm of a puppy? I know I certainly can't! Their playful energy, adorable faces, and boundless affection make them irresistible companions. National Puppy Day, celebrated annually on March 23rd, was founded in 2006 by pet lifestyle expert Colleen Paige. This special day serves a dual purpose: to celebrate the joy that puppies bring into our lives and to raise awareness about the many young dogs in shelters desperately in need of loving, forever homes. Additionally, it shines a spotlight on the cruel realities of puppy mills—inhumane breeding facilities that prioritize profit over the well-being of ani...

February 2025 Indian Trail Housing Report:Prices, Sales, Inventory Trends Indian Trail (28079 zip code) real estate in February 2025 saw both median and average home sales prices rise month-over-month and year-over-year. The median home sale price reached its highest level when measured against February 2024 and 2023.

 February 2025 Matthews Housing Report:Prices, Sales, Inventory Trends In February 2025, the Matthews real estate market experienced year-over-year growth in home sale prices. The average sale price remained steady month-over-month, while the median sale price declined. As home sale prices in the Matthews area ranged from the mid-$300,000s to just under $1.7 million during the month, the drop in median sale price likely reflects the mix of homes sold rather than an actual decline in property values within the 28105 zip code. The average days on market increased by 10 days compared with the previous month and by 29 days year-over-year. After four consecutive months of declines, housing inventory saw an uptick, and new listings also rose both month-over-month and year-over-year. The list-...

 February 2025 Ballantyne Housing Report: Prices, Sales, Inventory Trends Ballantyne's real estate market in February 2025 saw the median home price increase compared with the previous month, while remaining steady year-over-year. Average sale price declined both monthly and annually. However, given that home prices in the Ballantyne area range from the mid-$300,000s to over $2 million, the drop in the average sale price likely reflects the mix of homes sold rather than an actual decrease in property values. The list-to-sale price ratio improved 1.81% from the previous month, reaching 99.76%, though it remained lower than February 2024’s 102.41%.

Spring Forward? Grumpy Cat And I Would Rather Not...Grumpy Cat And I Agree On One Thing: DST Must Go! "Daylight time, a monstrosity in timekeeping."... Harry S Truman How much do I hate Daylight Saving Time? I ask myself this question every year...  and every year, my answer remains the same: there simply aren’t enough words in the English language to capture my sheer hatred for it! I know I may be in the minority when I say I’d rather have my daylight in the morning than in the evening—but are we truly saving time?
