Hiya! My name is Dot. Like most cats, I nominated myself to be the cat of the week. Sure, I admit I have a bit of catitude, but who wouldn’t after you were brought to a shelter. I was not going to let the opportunity pass me up. I meowed loudly, purred, rubbed up against my cage, and whatever else I had to do to get noticed – and it worked! Part of it was a show to get noticed, but most of it showed my true colors. I know, I know, I’m mainly white but I wasn’t referring to those colors. I am a super sweet and loving one year old little girl. I am very social, love all the attention I can get, and am still young enough to play! If you are looking for the purrfect companion to keep you company, please stop by and visit me. 'What if I’…

Bystanders performing continuous chest …

The arrests were made for DUI and disorderly conduct.
Howard County Police reported there were two arrests related to Wine in the Woods over the weekend. A motorist was arrested and charged with driving under the influence Sunday after her vehicle collided with a tree in the Green Lot of Merriweather Post Pavillion as she was leaving Wine in the Woods, according to Sherry Llewellyn a spokesperson for Howard County Police. On Saturday, a cab was ordered for an intoxicated man but when it arrived, he refused to get in and allegedly became disorderly.

A two-car accident snarled traffic but no one was seriously injured.
No one was seriously injured in a two-car accident that tied up Monday afternoon traffic on Clarksville Pike, Howard County police said. The accident occurred at the intersection of Route 108 and Centennial Aveenue around 2:15 p.m. on Monday. A gray Acura SUV collided with a green Chevrolet Monte Carlo. A Howard County Recreation and Parks employee said he arrived at the accident about a minute after it happened. He said a female passenger of the Acura SUV was too shaken to speak to 911 operators so he took the phone and told police where the accident occurred. At the accident scene , police were still trying to piece together how the accident occurred. Police said the scene will be cleaned up as soon as their investigation is concluded.

She said Donna's would not be reopening elsewhere in Columbia or Howard County. The restaurant opened 10 years ago this month, said Houston. The company, which also has two locations in Baltimore, announced the closing on its website with the following statement: No one answered when Patch called the business office on Monday morning.

Chick N' Friends is a draw in Columbia. No utensils needed.
Fried chicken is a staple of classic American cuisine, and a local couple has been perfecting its homestyle goodness in Columbia for years. Chick-N-Friends at the Long Reach Shopping Center boasts a menu of fried chicken, fish, greens, yams, corn muffins and more. With made-to-order items, this chicken joint is a must for chicken lovers and regular picnic-goers. Rhodney Lloyd, who co-owns the restaurant along with his wife, Cassandra, says what sets his business apart from the fast food establishments like KFC and Popeye's is the freshness of the chicken and the quality of the ingredients, which guarantee a "homestyle" taste. "We don't batch cook [dozens] of pieces and have it sitting under the lamps," Lloyd told Patch. "We're trying to do…

With Pimlico triumph, I'll Have Another keeps Triple Crown dream alive.
I’ll Have Another proved the skeptics wrong by winning the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course on Saturday in exactly the same way he won the Kentucky Derby two weeks ago. The Kentucky-bred chestnut colt chased down pre-race favorite Bodemeister in the stretch crossing the finish line first by a neck. In the process, I'll Have Another kept alive hopes for horse racing’s first Triple Crown champion in more than three decades. “More than anything, I’m glad I didn’t disappoint people,” said Mario Gutierrez, I’ll Have Another’s jockey. “Like I say, it’s not about me. It is about the horse. From day one, I’ve believed in him. I’m so happy for him because he’s just a great horse.” Affirmed, in 1978, was the last colt to capture the …
