To the ignorant dog owners at Devonwood Conservation who allow their dogs to walk off-leash, hundreds of feet ahead of them and without any recall abilities: you are putting your dogs (and any other dogs walking on-leash) in a very dangerous position. Do not be surprised if my dogs, while properly leashed and thus in a vulnerable position, attack or bite your dog if yours charge at them or get in their faces. Do not shout "my dog is friendly" from 100 feet away...mine are too. However, when placed in a situation where they feel threatened and vulnerable (such as being constricted to a 3 foot leash and being quickly approached by a free-running dog), then they can and probably will go into defensive mode and protect themselves.

Yesterday, I saw a large, overweight black dog (chow mix) standing down the pathway, unleashed and without any owners in sight. I froze so that the dog would not see me and my 2 large breed dogs, hoping that the owners would appear and leash him. After a few moments, I saw the owners long down the path, too busy chatting away to check on their dog or even care enough to see if anyone else was around and call their dog back. We were forced to turn around quickly and take another path.

There is also a middle-aged woman who notoriously allows her 2 dogs (large white german shepherd mix and a smaller, dark beagle mix) roam Devonwood with her trailing MINUTES behind them. The first time we stopped well in advance of the dogs and waited for someone to get them. After at least 3 minutes, this rude woman starts to get near them and I asked her to put her dogs on a leash so we could walk by. She shouted at me to "continue walking" and made no attempt to call her dogs back towards her or anything. Another time this happened, her dogs started to run towards mine and so I shouted to her to put her dogs should be on a leash! She told me that her dogs are "friendly" and to just "keep walking". I had good control of my dogs when hers approached mine and was able to move past them quickly BUT, it could have turned bad if her dogs continued to follow us or got in my dogs' faces.

I love all animals and would never want one to get hurt, especially due to the ignorance of an irresponsible owner. So please be responsible and have some respect for those walking the trails with their dogs and have some respect for your own dogs! Leash your dog, keep them safe and enjoy your walk.

On Tuesday February 28th after a late night conference, a friend and I stopped for dinner at the Kildare House for a bite to eat. We were seated up stairs next to a group of young patrons in their 20's celebrating a friends birthday. They respectfully asked if they could listen to their music while playing a friendly game of cards. The patrons were polite and enjoying each other's complaby, laughing and celebrating. When we left to pay our bill the server told us that, "It was taken care of." On our way out a young woman apologized for "Being loud and disrupting our dinner conversation" and explained that they were celebrating a friends birthday and had no intention on ruining our dining experience so she paid for our dinner to say thank you and that she "appreciated us". So to that beautiful patron, Thank You for the kindness and generosity displayed.

To the woman who was slumped over in her car, going through the Lauzon and Catherine Intersection on March 11, 2017 at 6:45pm near the Walmart, I REALLY hope you are OK, which you must be as when my horn went off you decided to wake up and press the gas and proceed into the Tecumseh Mall parking lot, fleeing the scene. What you failed to realize, your pick up truck took off my license plate and caused damage to the front bumper of my Dodge Journey. I had the green light and other cars were honking at you. I didn't have time to put it into reverse before your truck scraped the front end of my journey. I didn't get your license plate which I wish I had, but I was trying to make sure I didn't cause an accident in the process. I wanted you to know, I've given your description of yourself and your truck to the police as they wanted to send someone out to make sure you were ok. I hope if you have any sort of a heart, you'll contact the police and maybe help pay for the damages you've caused!

Found iPhone in an otter box case on Dougall Avenue in South Windsor. Tried to call owner but phone has no service and is locked. The owner will know what it looks like.

Today around 415 pm at Tim Horton's on Chandler and Tecumseh, keys were found, a car key and two house keys were on them. I handed them into the Tim Horton's staff.

I was near Wyandotte and Marentette where the fire department had responded to a call south of Wyandotte around 2PM Friday. Approximately 15 minutes later I was travelling south on Parent when one of the fire trucks that had left the call was driving ahead of me. Suddenly the truck pulled over to the curb lane beside the old W. D. Lowe Secondary School just passed the playground. Two firemen jumped out of the truck with one of them stopping traffic as the other ran across the street. As I watched, I was wondering where another fire may have been however I didn't see any smoke. Suddenly the one who had went across the street came back across with a good ole Frisbee in his hand! Apparently one of the kids in the playground threw it too hard or the wind took it sailing across the street. The fire department responded by stopping to get it for them!
WAY TO GO WFD!!! Hats off to you for your kind gesture!

My 3 year old daughter has a purple buzz cut. My husband took her with him to Costco this afternoon and you stopped and gushed over her hair, and told her not to ever let anyone tell her that she can't look however she wants to look or be whoever she wants to be. Not only did your compliment about her hair thrill her, but you also helped to reinforce what we always tell each of our four children. And for that I wanted to "spot you" and say thank you!

I would like to thank the gentleman that purchased two chocolate bars from a young boy fundraising outside of Freshco this evening and gave them to my children. Not only was I appreciative, my children were very surprised by a stranger's kindness. They tried to thank you properly and I'm unsure if you heard us, so thank you again!
