Rambunctious Bowie may be a pup in kitten’s clothing: Send us your pet rescue stories

MEDINA, Ohio -- Bowie came into my life last September after a family friend found a litter of kittens in her back yard. I couldn't resist his adorable little half-gray face and had to bring him home -- and he's been a spitfire ever since. Although we're unsure of who Bowie's father is, I'm convinced it was a dog of some sort. Because Bowie may look like a kitten, but he acts like a puppy. Starting very young, Bowie learned that his favorite activity was a nice game of fetch. He also enjoys chasing me around the house, giving me kisses when I ask, crying at the door if I leave the house, begging for snacks at the dinner table and cuddling up to watch TV at the end of the night. The most cat-like thing he does is purr. When the COVID-19 outbreak began, I was still based in New York City.

From JDT glory to English non-league anonymity and his own clothing line

© Provided by Sporting News Having started out in non-league football in England back in 2011, Junior Eldstal is once again in those same waters in 2020, this time with Metropolitan Police. The difference, however, is that he enjoyed a hugely productive period in Malaysian football with Sarawak, Johor Darul Ta'zim and the Malaysia national teams in between.  Still only 28 years old, Junior made the incredible decision to return to England to focus on developing his business after the 2018 season with JDT. But over time, the lure of football is proving more and more difficult to ignore. Acknowledging that time is still on his side, Junior is keeping his options open, while keeping a close eye on proceedings in Malaysia. "I decided to play for Met Police because they are only five minutes down the road from me and I have a couple of friends there. It's quite a good standard. When I first started, the thought process wasn't about thinking to ge
