MISSING PET. REWARDGolden Retriever missing since huge AC Animal Bust Debbie Murray fears her pet may have been in that bunch. Dog was Christmas present from husband. Reward offered for return

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

My Golden Retriever is missing and has been just before the huge Adair County Animal bust. I fear she may have been in that bunch but I have attempted to contact the shelter a number of times now with no help from them. I'm now reaching out to the public to attempt to find my baby.

She is golden in color and answers to the name baby. She has been spayed and is very friendly. A reward is offered for her return. When she disappeared she had on a two collars, one was a shock collar as she was in an underground fence which she got out of.

Please post this message and forward to any person you might find to help me bring my baby back. She was a Christmas present from my husband when my last retriever passed and is very special to me.

Thank you so much for your help!

Let Me tell you about my Grandkids: Graham reads to GranddadOUR FIRST GRANDCHILD, GRAHAM, at left above, with my first husband Ed, shared a new book over lunch Saturday. When time is flying by and Graham and his brother Evan can't make it to Columbia at the same time the grandparents can't make it to Shelbyville, we frequently call for a meeting in the middle. This visit took us to Barnes and Noble bookstore in Elizabethtown and then across the parking lot to Red Lobster. The visit came to a close at a play place just up the road where for a small fee, kids can jump and climb and play miniature golf. Reflecting on our visit, I'm proud to say our philosophies were not compromised -- reading and discovery were celebrated first, then eating some healthy broccoli followed by physical education. It was a fine day. Graham and Evan are sons of Pen and Amy Smith Waggener of Shelbyville, Ky. -LINDA WAGGENER


Let Me tell you about my Grandkids: Evan Reads to MemaMEMA LINDA WAGGENER is working on an advanced degree, but her level of erudition, particularly as it pertains to great literature, to Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, does not nearly reach that of her five-almost-six year old grandson Evan Waggener, a kindergartner at Southside Elementary School in Shelbyville, KY, who has a PhD equivalent in the subject But she was catching up Saturday, during a command oral reading of Rodrick Rules at Barnes & Noble in Elizabethtown, KY, on Saturday, March 21, 2009. Evan told Mema he had all the set, including the orange book, The Do-It-Yourself-Book which the bookstore didn't seem to have. A good time was had by all, during the visit, though Evan did not get to read his favorite book, Sir Fartsalot Hunts the Booger by Kevin Bolger to her. -ED WAGGENER
