If that doesn't encourage participation in the BBB, nothing will. In the doghouse Longtime Abilene Animal Shelter official Charlotte Roy will finally get out of the doghouse today, but only long enough to be honored at City Hall for 25 years on the job. No doubt, city officials recognized the timing of the honor. Summer is one of the busiest times for the shelter, which fills up not only with unwanted dogs and cats and their litters but animals that have slipped out of the back yard while errant owners are off on idyllic vacations. One thing's sure.
Charlotte sees few surprises anymore.
An example is the cocker spaniel brought into the shelter Tuesday. Found abandoned in San Antonio, we brought him home to Abilene, cleaned him up and bathed him. But unfortunately, he doesn't get along with our other male dog. Please call Animal Control or Humane Society or offer him a home. Good with children, not at all aggressive.
