Dear Neighbors, I am happy to let you know the found Husky and Golden Retriever were reunited this evening, thanks to an email from the Dixon Branch Petwatch and the call to our Petwatch voicemail.

I hope you begin using the Petwatch BLOG. I have posted the recent Pet Food Recall information here along with other updates and information.

Thanks to Nancy Nance and Jennifer Costner who covered for me while I was on Spring Break last week. Unfortunately Jennifer will be leaving our area soon, but Nancy will continue with me in taking care of Petwatch.

If you would like to help volunteer for Petwatch, please let us know. We can use help with our voicemail and email system and always need foster homes. Thanks all. Karen Briggs, Petwatch Coordinator

NEED FOSTER HOME! We rec'd a call late yesterday afternoon from Kurt on Rolling Rock. He found 2 dogs in his yard; they are very friendly, in good condition and both were wearing collars, but no tags. One is a husky type of dog, gray and white, with one blue eye and one brown eye -- he's not sure about sex. The other is a large red male dog (about the same size as the husky) with medium length hair. His neighbor at Rolling Rock put them in his yard, but now they are beginning to fight with his dog and he's not sure how long he can keep them. The neighbor, Doug, called last night and said he that they're starting to fight more with his dog. He also identified the husky-type dog as a malamute. I talked to his wife this morning and she again said that they couldn't keep the two dogs and asked if we could find a foster home. She gave me their phone numbers to call if we find someone to take the dogs: 214-343-7177 PLEASE CALL PETWATCH IF YOU KNOW OWNER OR CAN FOSTER. THANKS!


STRAYS:

Caller saw two dogs in her yard this morning, a female beige pit bull, and a female reddish gold cow dog with pointed ears. They were running toward 9000 Block house, but ended up on the corner of Pelican and Whitewing (she followed them in her car). Neither had collars, and the pit bull seemed a bit aggressive, but they both came up to her car.

One other call late yesterday, from Sally at Eden Roc and Capri. She saw a stray male dog, the size of a grown lab. He was white with black spots, and had a blackish face, no collar or tags. Seemed friendly, but he would not let anyone get too close to him.

Sara left a msg that she saw two springer spaniels lose about 9:10 this morning. Both had collars and tags, and they raced across NW Hwy, through the Assembly of God parking lot, and into the woods behind the church. One was white with brown spots and the other was more liver colored.

Missing

My niece at, 600 block Coolair, was pet sitting for me yesterday, March 18, when my dog got away, about 3:30 p.m. She has no collar on, almost completely tan with an almost completely black tongue. Short-haired, 60ish pounds, spayed, perky stand-up ears, and her tail sticks up and rotates like a helicopter blade when she is happy. Thank you, Suzanne 214-388-8482
