I received the following in response to my email to Senator Williams. Wonder what he means by "for her own safety"? Guess I'll have to email him again. Linda Butler "Growing up on the family farm, I developed a love and respect for animals at a very young age that has stayed with me throughout my life. As a result I have adopted four dogs during my life, all of whom have been attended to and provided for with the utmost care. My German Shepherd was given to the local shelter for her own safety, with the knowledge that I would reclaim her if no one else did. Any suggestion to the contrary is a complete and utter falsehood." Kent Williams Senate District 30 **************Planning your summer road trip? Check out AOL Travel Guides.
