On the day before Halloween she broke the plastic clasps on her collar and escaped the back yard! I looked for her for hours and then 3 days passed. I got a call from an animal shelter, so I went to get her they charged me $125.00 for catching, transporting, and holding her. I was told it was to pay the dog catcher! I paid it and took her home! Two weeks later I get a bill in the mail for another $110.00 claiming to be to pay the dog catcher! I took my invoice and showed the county clerk she argued and said it was the animal shelters charges not the county animal controls but I asked the lady at the shelter and she said they are just a holding facility and don't pick up dogs or cats animal control does that and thats what the fees are for! I got an itemized receipt and showed county clerk woman again and still they wont waive the fees, I'm mad at this point. I wont pay the fees I tell her so and she then tells me they will send it to collections if I don't pay it!

" What do I do here, What am I doing wrong!!" I paid my fees whats going on here!!!

Although I have a long connection with our four legged best friends, I have been stumped recently by the very odd occasional behaviour of one of my dogs, Millie, a 7 year old Lurcher,(greyhound cross)an ex coursing and free-range hunting bitch.

Just recently she has done this queer thing, about once a week. Having long legs she normally lies down to eat complete biscuits from her dish. The first time she did it I thought it must be a bee or wasp sting, but could see nothing. Whilst chomping away she suddenly explodes, flies to her feet, scattering her food. sometimes dashes across the room as if from starting blocks at great speed, or just flies to her feet and then flops back down. She starts eating her food again immediately. She doesn't seem to have any after effects at all. Only Boo, her companion and I are startled.

She seems to be in perfect health and is contented. One of my friends has suggested she may have a sensitive tooth. I don't think it is that. She had a full medical at the vet's a month ago, her teeth were examined, and I think the immediate return to eating probably rules out a tooth problem.

I should be grateful for any suggestions. I am sure it is not a serious problem by her general behaviour and normal fitness, but it is certainly puzzling.
