By Barry Burleson

Softball crazy

Letter to the Editor

Thanks for the free ad:
Dear Editor,

A mother cat and her kittens decided to pick our place for their new home. The downside is that we have dogs, and one in particular does not like cats (or perhaps he likes to chase them too much). We decided the best thing was to place an ad which ran in your newspaper on July 11, 12. The lady who took my call said there was no charge. The ad worked! All three cats found a home.

I want to thank you for the free ad. One of the kittens became ill, and the vet costs were crazy. Not having another bill was a true blessing. Thank you so very much.

Sincerely,
The Ammons Family
