Carol Perkins: Why didn't you wake me? Previous Column: Passenger seat peril By Carol Perkins Both feet flew over the side of the bed and immediately, I massaged my upper right leg. From nowhere came a burning, torturous stinging above my knee. A muscle cramp. As if every nerve in my leg was compressed and constricted, the excruciating pain rendered me helpless. I sat on the side of the bed, rubbing my leg as hard and fast as I could, hoping for relief. "Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh," I said with each movement. I had heard that walking or putting weight on the area would often diminish my suffering, so I stood up. Instantly, the stinging sensation traveled down my leg to my foot. How could I walk? The pain was crippling. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2020-01-16 10:10:24 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Carol Perkins

Starving dog finds home thanks to Christy's appeal By Linda Waggener Cats and dogs news may be my favorite to write about, and it’s best when animals and owners are matched up for happy endings like Lee Ann and Greg Jessee's cat Sylvie. I should add there's also joy in covering good news of cows, especially at the Pampered Angus Ranch, and horses of every kind and color. Brenda McQueary and I discussed these priorities in the news this week. She is among the strongest supporters of the Green River Animal Shelter and the staff. We agreed that we would like to see more results sent in after a homeless animal is posted on Columbiamagazine.com so we can know what happened - hopefully a good result! One such result came from a reader named Christy (last name withheld by request) who sent in a plea to help find a home for a starving dog she'd found. It was posted on CM Tuesday after 3pmCT. I asker her to please let us know what happened. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2020-01-16 09:43:05 | Comments | Printable version
