There are a few dogs running loose day after day. One is especially playful and large enough to knock little ones down. He especially likes to run after school bags the children are carrying, Most of them find this terrifying. Does a dog have to bite someone to wake dog owners up? The dogs are digging in garbage cans, ruining shrubs and dirtying 19 yards. You can not even feel safe to tie your own dog up in your yard. These loose dogs are running in packs and can easily gang up on another dog and if you own a female, he parks on your doorstep and howls. If you catch one of these dogs and do not know the owners the dog catcher will come out and pick it up. He turns it over to the Vet in McHenry and in order to claim your dog you must pay the cost of its keep. BIRTHDAY GREETINGS Happy birthday today to Betty Moore.
