Queen Anne resident Nancy Bostdorff and her daughter, Lisa McKibbin, have just lost a beloved friend—their dog Sammy. While walking Sammy along Queen Anne Ave N on Thanksgiving Day, he was tragically electrocuted. The unpredictable accident upset his family, and inspired them to help inform residents in the hopes of preventing other animals from being killed in the same way. Lisa started a blog in memory of Sammy. A beautiful German Shorthair Pointer. Please visit if you get the chance & support them in this VERY hard time.

If you go to Sammy's blog and/or the newspaper you will find other comments about stray voltage. This is something I have not ever really thought about. Except for when doing wiring or when a tree or storm has brought down power lines.
Our thoughts & prayers are with them. Thanking them for sharing the information & for reaching out to others during this terrible time to warn us of the dangers that lurk that we may not even be aware of.
