As soon as I hit the “publish” button on my last story, I realized there was a grammatical error in the title. Or was there?
I changed it. But which is correct “Friends of Freddie find” or “Friends of Freddie finds”?
My argument is that “Friends of Freddie” is a singular organization, so it should take “finds.” But then again, it sounds funny.
(Devore) – Missy Cunningham is a lady with a mission. That mission began about 10.5 years ago when she found Freddie, along with her littermates, in a box on the side of a busy road.
Freddie was Cunningham’s faithful companion for the next 8.5 years until she died suddenly from cancer in 2010. Cunningham created “Friends of Freddie” on Facebook as a tribute page and began focusing almost exclusively on the Devore Animal Shelter last June.
Devore Animal Shelter is San Bernardino County’s main animal detention facility. It is hidden in the foothills above the San Bernardino Valley in Southern California’s Inland Empire and cannot be seen from any main road or highway.

(San Bernardino) – A new Facebook page has been created to provide a database to list any dogs incarcerated at the Devore Animal Shelter that are killed under suspicious circumstances.

The page is called “Pups killed by Devore Shelter Staff under suspicious circumstances.” It was created by Christine Haslet, who is also the administrator of Friends of Devore Shelter Dogs and LuckyPupsDogRescue.com.

John and Ken
I am so tired of politically correct people and companies. Now John and Ken have been suspended for calling Whitney Houston a “crack ho.”
