Pet of the Week—Thorton

Sporty fellow is looking for a marathon training partner at Humane Society Silicon Valley.

Posted by James Farris, October 16, 2012 at 01:15 pm

Hi there everybody, I'm Thorton!

First, I'll give you my awesome description: I'm a 2-year-old Border Collie mixed-breed fellow who's got an amazing brown brindle coat with large white markings.

I'm a good looking guy hoping to find a sporty family to bring me home.

I have lots of energy and would love to go for daily long walks or jogs and maybe even do dog sports!

Let's live an active lifestyle together. If you're looking for a partner to keep up with you, ask to meet me today!

I weight about 45.5 pounds and you can find me at the Humane Society Silicon Valley, 901 Ames Ave., Milpitas.

Don't miss a thing in Gilroy!

The offensive comment we're discussing shows a complete lack of respect for women that permeates our…Read More culture. That this person actually thought this poor young girl had culpability for her attack is a symptom of our societies disregard for women. I'm actually glad he made the comment so we can look at and discuss the problem.

From one of the interviews I watched online, it seems that many Saratoga High students knew what…Read More happened at the party and had seen the pictures. How is it that arrests did not follow the assault and the suicide for over 6 months? Could it be that the students who knew information about the felony chose to remain silent? I hope that is not the case; we will surely find out as the details of the case are revealed in the media over the next weeks and months. In the meantime lets make sure we are teaching our kids about the responsibility of living in community and caring about others. God forbid that any of the students have to live with the knowledge that they could have prevented the suicide, or with the knowledge that they helped cover up such a heinous crime.
