In related Owasso news, you still cannot own a dog that is more than 90 percent wolf.

That is just too funny, in a not-so-funny way, of course. I still remember living in a small town and reading the police blotter. It wasn’t nearly as amusing, but I’ll never forget, among the entries for illegal substance manufacture/abuse, the entry: “Small white dog reported on lawn.” Yup, I’d call the police for that. (honestly, some people!)

i love your paper. i dont get exciting things like this in mine, but if i did i would probably read it more. i also love how personal all the descriptions are and lacking in administrative jargon. it’s not “animal handled in tree,” but ” Raccoon in tree, has now gone farther up and unable to reach it.” and i just imagine some animal control person getting all frustrated while jabbing a big pole up some leafy tree.

I stumbled across your blog (a yarn shop linked to the grass pattern) and was very surprised to find a fellow Owassoan! There aren’t too many of us out here on the east coast (I live in D.C.). Mom reads me the police report from the Owasso Reporter every once in a while – I feel like I’m keeping up with my old classmates, which is good since I missed our first class reunion. :)
