Thanks to Facebook, home of our community’s digital rant and complain board, we heard that an aggressive pitbull had just ripped a dog apart, killing it, on the north end town last evening, just before we were going to go for a walk with Hank.

The aggressive dog continued on and tried to attack another lady and her dog, and then another person who didn’t even have a dog.

It’s the next afternoon now, and Hank is really not amused that he still hasn’t gotten his walk. I was going to go for a Sunday afternoon hike during football, but I’m not doing that either. Chances are the owner left town with his dog, but I’m more afraid of this dog than a wolf or bear on the trails.. I think Hank and I have met this dog before and it was so terrifying. Fortunately Hank chose not to engage or fight and we were able to continue our walk that day.

This dog has a long rap sheet and yet it was still wandering loose around town, terrorizing people, and killing someone’s dog. That’s not okay.

But, we also just heard this afternoon that the boil water advisory was just lifted! So at least that’s good news!

The Pit also reports that as of Friday, water is no longer flowing into it. That’s good! The water mains have been repaired and the work is still ongoing to unthaw all the water and sewer to the houses and buildings where it froze.
