Letter: Theft of pets continues

By Ann Pearson

This is the third time a pet has been stolen right out of our fenced-in yard. First they stole my male Bull Mastiff, then our chihuahua, and now our mini chi-weenie. It's insane that we keep our dogs in a fence and someone steals them and for what purpose? To sell is our best guess. Now even when we are home we must keep our pets inside unless we are outside with them.

Pictures of our pet are provided. If you see or have someone offer to sell you a pet please make sure they own that dog or say something like "let me check with the police just to make sure it's not one they are looking for," as they will probably leave quickly.

My daughter is just devastated her beloved pets are gone as am I with my Mastiff being gone. I don't understand why someone would do this to someone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Note: If you have any information about these missing dogs, you can reach Ann at 270-283-2136.

Carol Perkins: Matters of the Heart

Previous Column: The Tiller

By Carol Perkins

Since his heart attack, Guy has had rounds of mild chest pains. That's his version, but if they require a nitroglycerin tablet, they aren't too mild.

"You can't fool around with this," I declare.

"It'll go away," he answers while I'm finding the nitro pills. "I go to the doctor next week."

I sigh. The doctor is his cardiologist in Louisville. There is not much I can do with a grown man who refuses to make another trip to the ER, has had dozens of tests, and was told to see his cardiologist where he had even more tests within the last two months.

Once in front of the Louisville doctor, Guy played down his "mild" chest pains.

Letter: Nostalgia

Dave Rosenbaum writes:
Ms. Waggener's post this morning of the photo of the Eggs Benedict brought back a lot of memories. Eggs Benedict - poached eggs with salmon, steamed tomato and spinach on toast points, topped by a drizzle of Hollandaise Sauce and the slightest touch of caviar.

Dad served this a lot at the Fairplay Store in the mid fifties. The loafers loved it.
