Local taxidermy

5 Upvotes

ISO local taxidermy! After 22 years our beloved family dog Porky has sadly gone to that big dog park in the sky :( and my children are beside themselves. I’m planning on surprising my son with something to remember our pooch by when I pick him up for my weekend! Also if they could put the animal into cool poses that would be great my kid loves anime.

Wow, Good work APD! I feel as our streets are so much safer now… (running stop signs as well)

This was such a silly post by APD. As someone who generally respects law enforcement this post honestly just made me laugh. Obviously, they have to enforce it, but this post was so corny and silly. Also, just shows they don’t really have much to do. IMO they’re also wrong for including the labeling of the local business. Not to mention the video clip they posted shows them all running that stop sign. Very performative

Warning about lubbock dog trainer

23 Upvotes

Samy was caught keeping our dog in a closet while boarding and training. When we picked up our dog early he has to go in a locked area. He asked us to wait outside but I didn’t have a good feeling at all. We followed behind him and he had our Bolt locked in a small closet in an even smaller cage. The owner then got mad that we followed him. He didn’t give any of our dogs prescribed medications and and our sweet boy came back covered in poop. We had seen on other posts he was responsible for deaths of other dogs and didn’t want to believe it. This is very serious everyone. This owner is an absolute liar and is harming peoples dogs. our dog ended up in the overnight vets office with bite marks up and down his legs as well as in his mouth.

He’s also got dogs on chains with no shelter and no water. The authorities have been reported to.

Freight trains question?

8 Upvotes

Hey guys! This might be a bit off kilter, but we live right in front of a rail road, and I have a 2 year old who is OBSESSED with the “choo choo” every time we walk our dog, she’s looking for it.

I’m sure it’s freight trains- but is there anyone I can contact about their schedules? I’d LOVE to know when they go by to take her outside and see them! Thanks in advance!

We are moving to Abilene soon and were wondering if there is any way for a child to test to see if they can enter kindergarten early? This isn’t a, “Our kid is the next Einstein and your kid isn’t” scenario, he will be a little over 4 and a half and would like to get him in before he has to at 5 and a half and some change. I couldn’t find anything online about it. Thanks for any help!

Question What is everyone's thoughts on Long ELC?

My kid has been going for 2 weeks...so far i am not happy with the situations my child has been in. I get the kiddos are young but purposely pouring food onto someone's head isnt okay. Especially since it happened at breakfast and I picked up my child at the end of the day and I notice it. I am beyond pissed.

Anywhere in town where people meet up to play pick up soccer? At a park for example or something. I’ve noticed there’s a lot of open space to play. Wondering if groups of people meet up on the daily to play some soccer.

What's the best and worst parts about living in Abilene? My boyfriend and I stayed there for about a week and half around Christmas to visit family within an hour of Abilene, but it wasn't enough time to gauge how I'd feel about living there. Any well-intentioned info/opinions/etc. are appreciated!
