I’m a Bulldog mix weighing 72lbs. I am a super excitable, energetic, and silly guy looking for my forever home! Way back when in my old home, I wasn’t always cared for as well as I should have been... Because of this, I am looking for a particular household that is calm and predictable and there isn’t any kind of chaos. I hate seeing people fight or yell as it scares me a lot, so that’s why I just want a calm and safe household that I can relax in. I do seem pretty playful with dogs, but I do come on strong so it would need to be a pal that can handle a hyper guy like me. I need a home with a fenced yard and an adopter that is willing to help guide me. I am a friendly boy with a loyal and loving personality. So, if you think I’m the older (yet still energetic) guy you’re looking for, then please fill out an application for me at windsorhumane.org.

100th show for Dale’s Coffee House
LEAMINGTON — Dale’s Friday Coffee House is returning to The Bank Theatre stage on Friday with it’s 100th show and 13th season. The long-running local talent showcase has been a must-play event for performers across the region and is well known in the musical coffee house circuit. The series was started by local musician Dale Butler to help showcase the local musical talent and give music lovers a taste of that talent. John Moran — a good friend of Dale’s and the sound engineer, vice president and chair of pro-

They will play their own set and introduce Martha Renaud, Denis Bastarache, Jen Knight and Mark Mailloux, Weimar (featuring Rick Taves, Joel Westlake and David Light), and David Lum. Before the coffee house made The Bank Theatre its home, it was being held at the Leamington Arts Centre, then the basement at The Gallery Restaurant. Patrons have followed the coffee house performances for many years. “Dale’s Friday Coffee
House has given back to the community over the years, giving money to communities all over the world in fact,” said Moran. “That’s how amazing our audience is — they dig deep to show the love, as Dale would say. I’m glad we get to honour Dale in this way even though he can’t be here with us.” Dale is currently spending time with his grandchildren. Doors open at 6:30 on Friday and the show begins at 7:00 pm. There is no cover. As always, it’s a pass-the-hat event with a suggested donation of $10.
