Truth about cats and dogs
From Go Triad editor Carla Kucinski: I'm thinking of doing a cover story in Go Triad about shop dogs (and shop cats), the cute furry friends that hang out at small businesses in the Triad, the ones we often see in the storefronts of local businesses while walking down the street. We thought it would make a fun story to write about the personalities and stories behind these critters. For example, Susan Ladd mentioned a big ol' fat cat that sleeps in the window at the art supply store next to the Green Bean. There's also, Esme, the boxer that hangs out at Mack & Mack on Elm St.
Do you know of any others?
Now, I know you readers like hard-core, tough-minded news, but one axiom of editing is that pets sell. So, help us out.

John:
Is anything happening with the T O Stokes/Beverly Hinson arrests? Are you planning to do additional stories? It seems the story just stopped. Thanks

We're on it like a hungry hound on a dish of Alpo, Wayne. (Feel free to e-mail me directly when you have a question off the point of the post.)
Thanks, Brian. We wouldn't think of duplicating your piece, of course, so we'll really have to get into the pets' heads.

OT somewhat, but speaking of pets, I read with interest your story on contaminated pet food and knew that I had cans and a bag of a brand on the list. The bag is long since disposed of (the food lives in a container) and the last can went to recycling (with some leftovers). I'd have appreciated more information - local info - about which stores, if any, sold which lots and dates mentioned on the recall. If I knew that the store I used did indeed sell it, I'd throw it all out.
But I don't have the lot numbers anymore (fairly standard with 20lb+ bags, no? Could you follow up with that info, please?
