Panama City, FL...Four astronauts splashed down safely in the Gulf of Mexico Sunday, completing NASA’s first commercial crew, long-duration mission aboard the International Space Station. The return comes nearly six months after the crew members arrived at the microgravity laboratory and also marks the longest-duration mission of a crewed American spacecraft to date.

Violet is Your Calaveras County Animal Services Pet of the Week!
Posted by: News_Desk on 05/02/2021 02:01 PM
San Andreas, CA... Meet Violet, a lovely Tortie and white adult with a longhaired, plume-like tail. Violet was brought to the shelter by a woman who said Violet had been hanging around her father’s property and was concerned for the kitty’s safety. Violet appears to be about 9 to 10 years of age and has a calm, quiet demeanor. Always eager for gentle pets and being brushed, she is very polite about letting you know when she would appreciate some attention. Violet is not a true lap cat, though, more of what we would call a snuggle up beside you and watch a good movie together kind of girl. Violet is also an exceptionally tidy cat, keeping herself and her area clean at all times.
