Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with
sticks it was called witchcraft. Today it is called golf.
……….
Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier ’n
puttin’ it back.
When doing yard work make sure your home is locked.
Do not leave mowers or other equipment unattended.
Remind neighbors to pick up after their pets.
Keep all dogs in a fenced in yard or in your home or on a
leash. This time of the year all pets should be kept inside
of the house in a cool environment.
Do NOT approach a stray dog – do walk away slowly and
seek assistance from Animal Control – call 664-PETS and
provide the operator a description of the dog and the
address or cross streets.
One of the main sources of dust is janitors.
Can you cry under water?
