Hoshi’s New Friend
We went back to the park today. There was more people because of the holiday weekend. More pets too including a pig. Yes, a pig! Did I mention Hoshi loves ham? Hoshi made a new friend. He’s a golden retriever named Ranger. He’s about 3 years old. He has such a beautiful coat. I could tell he had just been groomed and trimmed. I didn’t know goldens get trimmed. This is the second time they’ve met.
Missing Cocker Spaniel in Wixom, MI

Jarod Netchey is desperately searching for Murphy, his seventeen-year-old black cocker spaniel, who went missing last Friday. He is not microchipped and has no collar. He was reportedly seen on Wixom and Charms Road in Milford, Michigan. Murphy is frail and old with poor vision and poor sight. Murphy is also on medication. Netchey has been standing at the Wixom and Charms intersection passing out fliers about Murphy almost every day. “That’s why I am here. He would look for me until he couldn’t walk anymore, and I feel like I should do the same for him.” Please call Jarod Netchey if you have any information: (248) 255-5132
