Letters to the Editor

As most Cedar Key residents know, we had two stray dogs roaming the neighborhood for several weeks. I first heard of them at the Garden Club Christmas lunch on December 3rd. They were reported to be very nice looking hounds, one brown, the other black and white, no collar, but in pretty good shape. They kept all folks living around the Seyfarth's house awake by howling to the moon all night. Soon after that they were spotted around Virgil's house, around our house and around Jernigan Street. We all couldn't sleep since their howling kept us awake for several hours each night. People got together on street corners and discussed how they could get rid of the unwanted dogs. Then, one day, there was only one dog left, the black and white one, and he was seen limping badly.

Again, we discussed how we could catch the dog, bring it to safety and return to sound sleep. Well, two days ago it happened. Our wonderful neighbor, Don Campbell, did it – and all on his own. He went out around 3 AM armed with a flashlight and the immense desire to catch that dog. He combed through the woods in our area and it didn't take him long to find the dog, weak, demure and limping. He carried it to his house, fed him two bowls of food and water and loaded it in his truck to be taken to safety at the Rosewood Hunting Club, where I hear it has already been picked up by the owner today.

When you see Don around town, please thank him for his good deed – you can also congratulate him on the recent birth of his first grandson, Don Garrett III.

Happy New Year to all, Ilse Holling
