Emmie, golden retriever, missing since Jan. 20, 2013 (FOUND) 2013-01-30 - Vester/Christine area, Adair Co., KY - Photo by Teresa Roy. My Golden Retriever, Emmie, has been missing for over a week now. She was last seen on January 20, 2013 in the Vester-Christine area about a mile off KY 206 on the Christine Road. We fear someone might have picked her up. She very friendly and would go up to anyone. Emmie is almost 3 years old; she's light-golden, has a crazy biting thing she does with her mouth when she grins, and she's wearing a pink collar. If anyone were to see a strange dog in their neighborhood matching her description, please call me at 270-634-3670 or e-mail me at touchofamber@windstream.net. Thank you. We would dearly love to have her back. She's precious! - Teresa Roy Click on ReadMore for Happy Ending Happy Ending, written at 6:22pmCT, Wednesday, January 30, 2013. Emmie is back home.

The Mysterious Gray Weather Cat has looked at the signs . . . 2013-01-29 - Fortune Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. . . . and folks, it ain't good. The Mysterious Gray Weather Cat which Great Mema has recruited for daily visits has been narrow focused today. Mostly it wants to come in the house, desperately so. Or it's intent on watching the sky with a wary eye, as in the left photo, looking for signs. After much coaxing, it delivered its summary of the situation, which we interpreted as "It ain't good." Great Mema says that they watch cats in China to see what weather is about to happen - there cats are believed to sense earthquakes ahead of time. "They're never wrong," Great Mema says of her furry friends. She's watched the Mysterious Gray Weather Cat today, and is sure something is coming down. Birds acted funny, today, too. They were either eerily quiet or making frenetic chatter, and they weren't freeloading at the seed tray. May be coincidental but the National Weather Service was predicting thunderstorms, in concert with the Mysterious Cat. - Ed Waggener Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
