2015-12-21 - Southern Adair County, KY - Photo from Debbie South.
The post below was a plea for help a couple of days ago and a happy ending has just been reported so the South pets are home for the holidays! -- 23 Dec. 2015 LW
Friends I need your help in finding our female German Shepard and our Beagle. They got after a deer late yesterday afternoon from our front yard and they have not returned home. We have checked Greenbriar and West Fork (for the folks in Breeding area). Reese, the German Shepard, has name and phone number on collar. Bandit has a blue collar but has lost his name tag. Thanks for your help and Merry Christmas to each of you. - Debbie South, 270-634-3534 or 270-378-4800. CM ANIMALS
