Dear Abby

Friend’s hygiene habits are left high and dry

DEAR ABBY: I invited a friend to spend the weekend with me on my parents’ boat. She insisted that she must shower twice a day, as that is her usual routine.

Even showering once a day isn’t necessary unless someone has been working or exposed to dirt.

Pets of the Weeks

DOG OF THE WEEK: Bevo (52334450) Bevo is a sweet 4-year-old Retriever mix that found himself at the shelter at no fault of his own. He was surrendered to the animal shelter after his previous owners couldn’t bring him in their move. Bevo is potty trained and walks well on a leash. When in the play yard with volunteers, Bevo loves to run around and show off his goofy personality. He also has a tendency to be independent but does come around for pets and attention on his own time. Bevo enjoys treats of all kinds and leisurely strolls. Adopt this good boy today!
