Two pets...

UPDATED APRIL 20th:
A local resident who lost a pet in the April 13 attacks by two American Bulldogs provided these photos to the Citizen. The attacks, which witnesses told the Citizen occurred on Monday, April 13 in the neighborhood around Big Horn and Monterey Oaks, on Cypress View Way, reportedly left two dogs (pictured) and one cat dead.
"Not sure what made them attack but even during the hour in which the 3 separate attacks occurred they were friendly with people but attacked any animal they saw," said one witness. "It was like they just snapped."

The golden dog is "Happy," a pomeranian. "Max" - a cockapoo - is the white/gray shaggy dog.

Rampaging dog issue isn't new....

UPDATED APRIL 20th:
The Citizen news team has covered many violent incidents involving pit bulls in Elk Grove. Part of our coverage included "this article" from Sept. 3, 2008.

A complete story about the most recent incident - which involved not pit bulls, but American Bulldogs - will appear in Wednesday's issue of the Citizen.
Elk Grove city officials provided an interview with city personnel familiar with the situation Monday morning. The Citizen has been gathering information from families that lost pets in the attacks; but reporters have not been provided with many details on the incident from the Elk Grove Police Department.

Do people read these things we call blogs?

Sometimes I wonder. Today, a friend of mine from far, far away sent me a message. He asked about John Danielson's pay and how the story was going. I was surprised. Not because he is a good buddy and he is interested in what I am working on; but that he paid attention to the story of high-priced executives. And, he was reading this blog without me knowing. I don't track "hits" or visits to this site. If you're here, I hope you find it factual and accurate and pertinent. It was nice of mon ami to comment on the site. Merci, Beaucoup!!!!
