Ghost of Midnight

Menagerie of stray animals marches across Vermont

A sample from the past 24 hours on Front Porch Forum…

“Hi, just saw 5 HORSES meandering up Ripton Rd near Mill Road (by the river) headed toward Grimes rd. Probably past Grimes road by now. This was just a moment ago about 5pm on Tue.”

“6:50am Wednesday. Loose DOG on Cochran Road heading toward town. Looked like maybe a German Shepard mix, red collar. Tried to call her/him over to check for a phone number on the tags, but the dog kept trotting.”
• Brie, Richmond FPF

“Hi. One of my Shetland Ram LAMBS has gone a ram-bling. I thought he was in my lower pasture, but alas, no. He is most definitely NOT dangerous… he’s shy and small (about the size of a dalmatian but puffy) and sort of Champagne colored. He’s a sucker for grain, though. His name is Dodger (how ESPish). Thanks.”
• Libby, Charlotte FPF

“Seeking missing girl BUNNY. We put our boy bunny in the cage because it looked like Daisy was pregnant. (boy bunnies kill the babies) But she has been missing for 3 or 4 days. Please let me know if you see a spotted white and gray bunny. Thanks.”
• Cassy, FPF in Burlington’s South End

“Our gray and white 2yo male KITTY has been missing for a week. He is a smaller cat – about 8 pounds. He has white fur all around his nose except for one dark circle of gray freckled fur. He is mostly gray with a white belly and paws. Please call if you have seen him.”
• Sarah, Rural Essex FPF

“Thank you to our Front Porch Forum, Felicia, and Katlynn. Our sweet DUCK was well taken care of and is home safe!! Thanks to all who showed support and help looking.”
• Nicole, Saint Johnsbury Area FPF

Thankfully, neighbors tend to be very responsive and helpful in these cases.
