Happy Tails: Lady and Sami The next earlier Peg Schaeffer column: Happy Tail: Who says money can't buy love? By Peg Shaeffer At the end of May I received a phone call from Kim Sallee who was concerned about a pack of wild dogs living behind the shopping center in Russell Springs. She told me how she had gone to Kroger and in the parking lot she saw a black Lab who was skin and bones. She told herself that if the dog was still in the parking lot when she came out she would feed it. She did her shopping -- bought some lunch meat for her family and some extra for the pitiful dog. When she came out the dog was waiting for her. She fed the starved animal the lunch meat she had bought for her and then the lunchmeat she had bought for her family. She decided she should take the starving dog home except for one thing -- this dog was obviously nursing puppies.

Thanks to stranger who saw Kellogg's photo and rescued him By Kristy Tarter Thank you so much for your quick response to my email. I found Kellogg Friday afternoon!! He was gone just over 24 hrs. I'm presuming he wondered a bit too far from home & likely due to his very limited vision & diabetic symptoms he wasn't able to get back home. Someone had found him & pinned him up in their yard. He was distraught & disoriented but after getting medical tx & some TLC he has been doing great today!! Thanks again - complete stranger saw Kellogg's pic on CM.com & were looking out for him! I am so grateful!! God Bless, - Kristy Tarter 2013-07-29 09:08:55 | Comments | Printable version

Yes. And when those four numbers (3 numbers and a letter on a party-line) could be given to an operator who connected for you.
