Lost German Shepherd 2023-04-20 - Cane Valley, KY - Photo from Chris Slattery. Chris writes, "About a week ago a young, male German shepherd showed up on my farm in Cane Valley with no collar. I've been reaching out to neighbors and nobody has claimed him. I was wondering if anyone has reached out to you about a missing dog? He will have a good home here if no one claims him, but I just have to keep trying to find his owners in the meantime." You can reach Chris at 270-634-2434.

I marvel each season at the coloring of Candida's blooms, the delicate stripes of pale green against creamy white, deep rose pink of thread-like stamens."
