    In one of my previous apartments I used to frequent a particular, locally owned, quickie-type market. Occasionally, I would bring my dog. They had no problem with me bringing him into the store while I carried him. In fact, he became a bit of a celebrity because the clerks would point us out when we came in, saying "that's the dog I was telling you about, a basenji" to other customers. I had the experience of a bit of teaching about the breed. many were appreciative, some were just jerks because "they were 'real men' and they had to have a "real" dog" UUGGHH! So what's a "real dog'? Made me angry but it was a 'quickie-mart' - how angry could I get?

    @nkjvcjs: OMG. Oh no! Where does she live? Is there anything we can do? -Nicole I asked Sue if she could forward me where the owner lives and when the puppy was last seen. If I get the info, I'll post it. I believe she's somewhere in NE IL but I'm not sure. The owner has seen her a few times but hasn't been able to recover her. But I think that was before it started to get really cold and snowy. :(

    I've been trying to do that…it's not as easy to reach the distinctive landmarks with a semi as with other vehicles, including RV's. All the really cool places have signs up that say "No Trucks" and it really bums me out. I understand, though, because there are so many truck drivers who just throw their trash where ever they want instead of find a garbage can. And they pee on the ground rather than expend the extra energy to walk 75 feet into the bathroom. Trucker areas reek to an eye-watering level in hot areas because of this. But I do try to find distinctive landmarks when I can...the little lake in Minnesota, the rock formation in Colorado, coastal trees in North Carolina.... I will try to find more landmarks I can access.
  • Ugh, here we go again…..

    @JazzysMom: Yes, she is choosing to be a part of the solution – but sometimes I wonder WHAT WAS I THINKING when I encouraged her to serve the community and help others. :rolleyes: You were thinking how can I be a good Mom and be supportive of my daughter, good for you for doing that. I know it is tough but know that she is doing what she loves and is helping others, if this is what she was meant to do then someone else's life is better because she is doing it and you are a great Mom for being supportive of her. Now, you can tell us how freaked you are though, we won't tell … :)
