Subject: Please move your dog discussion to the appropriate animal chatlist

Okay people -

I don’t mind keeping out an eye for someone’s lost dog, but these ongoing discussions about pet care, etc. are getting out of hand.

This is not a pet chatlist.

If you wish to discuss animal matters you can discuss them on the animal lovers chatlist at http://groups.google.com/group/chatham-animals

Hi Ms. Shook,

   I see those dogs every day going to work. It drives me crazy to see the same dogs running loose everyday.  I am not sure what is ironic about the “Volunteer Coordinator part though?” Could you elaborate? The title was given to me to help collect volunteers for the group.  Do you know what the Coalition to Unchain Dogs is about? Have you gone to the website www.unchaindogs.org to check it out? Do you know we build fences for dogs? These fences are built by volunteers who take time out of thier schedules to help a dog in need. Some folk volunteer materials and other things such as dog houses, collars and toys. I understand not everyone will agree with the group and we all have our own opinions on it. But for me I would like to understand the other opinions. So please let me know.

Subject: Irony

Considering the absolutely *preposterous* amount of Chatham folks who lose track of their dearly beloved dogs on what seems to be a weekly basis, I find it incredibly ironic that we now have a “Volunteer Cordinator” for the Chatham Chapter of Coalition to Unchain Dogs.

Subject: Hunting issues…

We live on Eddie Perry Road off Russells Chapel and as usual when hunting season starts we have seen carcass dumps on our road. We hope getting word out will stop this as it is a residential area although wooded, and the one or two hunters who come here lease land from residents and are law abiding hunters.

This was obviously a head trophy as that was all the was missing.

Subject: Re:  ‘gnats in the house’

With these pests in the bathroom and kitchen, they might be drain flies.  Or fungus gnats.   Either could be reproducing indoors without the necessity of using your doors.  Have a look at these two websites to see if it helps you narrow your focus on where they are and how to control them:

Dee,

I highly recommend Max’s Dog Wash and Snack Shack, 968-6000.  They are located behind Pope’s Hardware in Cole Park Plaza.  Take the entrance to the Cole Park Recycling Center just past the Eagle’s gas station, and make a right into the parking lot of the building just behind the gas station.  They are wonderful dog-loving folks.

Subject: Regarding Dog Washer & Propane Service Provider

I have two great recommendations for services folks on the list have recently inquired about. 1. As for a dog washer/groomer, I highly recommend DogScrub Mobile Dog Bathing and Grooming. I’ve been using this service for the past couple of years, and it’s been so stress-free for my dogs. Maurice “Mike” Harrigan is fabulous with animals–mine all rush to greet him and try to go into his trailer–he’s reasonably priced, and in general, is a kind-hearted friend to the animals. (You may have seen him at this year’s Woof-a-Palooza, donating his services to CARE.) Call Mike at 919-542-1540…”and remember, a clean dog is a happy dog ”
