Good morning. This pic of the lake is not recent, but this is how it looks this time of the year. Our temperature today will reach 80. Goodness.

We have a stray dog in the neighborhood. I saw him as I was leaving home on Tuesday. I could not tell if he had a collar or not. Yesterday, as I turned into the road to our home, there he was again. This time, I stopped the car and approached him. He had not collar. 

This poor fella was starved, and hurt. He had been attacked at his throat. He came to me. I petted him; such a sweet big face. He would not get into the car. So I drove slowly, and he followed. But before we got home, he tired and stopped, walked to a shady spot, and lay down. 

I drove the short distance home, let my own dogs out, then returned with food and water. But of course, the dog was gone. I drove up and down the road but could not see him. Later, before dark, I tried again. 

We have notified neighbors to be on the lookout. This poor fella needs help. I am most distressed. He is so sweet. 

I truly despise people who do this. They should be shot!

Have a good day. Be kind to your animals.

Over and Out!
