<p style="text-align: left;">An aircraft struck one of the transmission towers on the hilltop in our Maple Leaf neighborhood, showering wreckage upon the community.</p>
<p>Here is my coverage of the Maple Leaf Aviation Disaster of 2014. Note <span style="color: #ff0000;">crucial paragraphs in red</span>, spinelessly censored by our allegedly free local press, apparently intimidated by the powers-that-be and afraid to mention the horrific death toll or dark suspicions of CIA or foreign involvement (see below):<br/> <br/> <span class="font-size-6"><strong>Maple Leaf Aviation Disaster</strong></span><br/> <br/> <a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036620215?profile=original"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036620215?profile=original" width="588"/></a><br/> The wreckage of missing light plane – a very light plane – was found Tuesday at the base of a transmission tower near Maple Leaf Park by a K-9 unit on routine patrol. Rescuers have been unable to reach the crash site because it is inaccessible. "It's near the summit of one of the highest peaks in Seattle, and surrounded by vegetation, terrain, and a chain-link fence," complained a frustrated searcher.<br/> <br/> Cause of the accident has not been determined, but it is believed that the aircraft hit the ground. “It may have struck the tower first -- it might have been pilot error, navigation error, or both. Or it could have been a mistake,” speculated an FAA investigator off the record. “Normal flight paths are located either to the left or the right of immovable obstacles, but if these parameters are exceeded, an abrupt decrease in airspeed can result.”<br/> <br/> <span style="color: #ff0000;">Currently, the toll of dead and missing stands at zero, but the number could go higher as investigation proceeds. “Or it could go lower,” warned an unnamed rescue coordinator, “and that’s a problem for us, because it’s a negative number, making it difficult to find the victims – and they must be very small people to begin with, because it’s such a small aircraft -- it just makes our job that much harder.”</span><br/> <br/> <span style="color: #ff0000;">There is some hope that the aircraft was an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), or drone. “If it’s a drone, the casualty list is often shorter, because nobody’s on the plane,” explained an NTSB spokesman. “The pilot could have walked away from the crash, even if he or she was not wearing a seat belt.” Drones have been observed flying in the area, possibly operated by the CIA, the KGB, the Chinese, or by somebody else. An anonymous CIA spokesman who declined to be identified refused to either confirm or deny that the agency conducts drone surveillance in Maple Leaf.</span><br/> <br/> Rescuers hope that a search dog will be able to reach the crash site Thursday if they throw a Cloud City {local coffee shop} doughnut over the fence into the enclosed area. “Nothing can stop a corgi if there’s food involved,” boasted Al, a Maple Leaf S.A.R. dog who asked that his last name not be used. <br/> <a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036620249?profile=original"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036620249?profile=original" width="428"/></a><br/> <br/> ==========================<br/> Local media's spinelessly bowdlerized edition of the story:<br/> <br/> <a href="http://www.mapleleaflife.com/2014/06/19/maple-leaf-plane-crash-man-and-corgi-investigate/" target="_blank">local news coverage of the disaster</a></p> Steadfast Stanleytag:mycorgi.com,2014-05-27:1150197:Topic:18652022014-05-27T16:05:43.265ZAvyonhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/Avyon

<p>I didn't see any listings for animals that had been there longer than a month, so I figure that's not a good sign. Weeble has been there for 13 days and Wobble for 10. I, unfortunately, have a pet limit where I live and with two corgis already, I'm at my max. Since they're both estimated to be 8 years old, I'm worried no one will adopt them. Can anyone help?</p>

<p></p>
<p>I'm relocating to Alabama from Georgia for work and my worst fears have come true - I'm not able to take my girl Maddie with me. My parents would take her, but my dad is going through chemo so he can't even be around his own dog right now. She just celebrated her 6th birthday on June 20th and is such a sweetheart, however she is special needs, therefore it's harder for me to have to let her go.<br/></p>
<p>Here's a little about her:</p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><b><span>Name: Maddie</span></b></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span>Breed: Pembroke Welsh Corgi</span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span>Age: 6 years</span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span>Gender: Female</span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span>Spayed/Neutered: Yes</span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span>Weight: 25 lbs.<br/></span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><b><span> </span></b></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>Behavioral Information</b></span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span><strong>Gets along with cats:</strong> She has lived with cats for years. She LOVES people, and 'tolerates' other animals. She's not aggressive, she just doesn't care what other animals around her do.</span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span><strong>Gets along with dogs:</strong> Same as with cats. Because she's not in tip-top shape with her health, she would probably grumble a lot with puppies, however she's very intrigued by Corgi puppies.</span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span><strong>Housebroken:</strong> Not exactly. She had a week-long seizure that caused her significant amounts of neurological damage, so house training comes and goes. I think she's better suited for outdoor living (she LOVES grass), but not free to roam all over. She needs a fenced in area or she'll get confused and wander away.</span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span><strong>Walks on leash:</strong> Yes. She also is very good about walking off-leash and staying on your heels, but only in areas where there isn't much traffic of any kind, foot or vehicle. I walk her down our street when I let her go to the bathroom and she stays a few feet away from me at all times. She's very well behaved. Sometimes though you have to get her attention, and by doing this you have to snap your fingers. She responded best to this as a puppy, and it's really the only thing she responds to after her seizure.</span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span><strong>Get along with all people:</strong> YES. She absolutely LOVES other people. Adults, children, it makes no difference - she is all about the attention.</span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span><strong>Good with kids:</strong> Maybe with older children. Her ears have always had a lot of problems, and I know younger kids like to touch and pull on her ears and it really hurts her.</span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span><strong>Personality:</strong> She is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever owned or been around. My family got her for me as a way to help me cope with a very unfortunate situation, so she was raised with nothing but love. She isn't aggressive at all, and she loves to cuddle. Once again, she LOVES people of all kinds. She is very terrified of stairs (her lack of coordination plus her short legs have caused her to fall down several, so now she barely tries unless there are maybe 4 stairs to climb, and then you have to coax her to get her down them sometimes). Maddie is not a 'yappy' dog and never has been, which is probably one of my favorite things about her. She is very calm and chill, but she is also a little picky about her food, sometimes picking certain colors out and setting them in a pile before she eats the colors she wants. She eats like a cat where she picks on a bowl all day (but you have to make sure to tell her when to stop drinking or she'll forget - I'm not kidding), so I usually have her food bowl in "Pup Cave" which is her beloved crate.<br/> <br/></span> 1 Please list any health issues for this animal: Occasional seizures. Unsure of what may bring them on - used to be on medication but it turned her into a zombie, so we slowly took her off and she regained her quality of life. She hasn't had a seizure since Christmas, so they're very few and far between, but if she has one and you're home, she needs you to be there to sit with her and talk calmly to her so it can help her to calm down. She also has a lot of problems with her ears (yeast infections). I have to constantly wash them out and put drops in them, and she currently has a yeast infection on her body that I've been trying to treat but don't know how to get rid of it completely.</p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span>2 Is the animal possessive with food or toys? She really isn't so interested in toys, unless they're grunting hedgehogs (she gets one every year for Christmas/Birthday). She is usually okay with another animal stealing her toys if the dog is bigger than her, but I've still seen her try and protect what's hers on occasion. She's the same way with her food. Often times I have to sit with her to make sure she eats or she'll just let our other dog eat her bowl. She will eat out of spite on occasion, where she will literally stare at the other dog the entire time she is eating, and when she drinks out of the water bowl she positions herself over it and drinks from the back so that no other animal can drink while she's drinking (our cat and Rottweiler drink together all the time, but have to wait on her).</span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span>3 Is the animal playful with toys or balls? She used to be, but not so much anymore. I think she forgets. She does enjoy playing with sticks outside (one-sided fetch), and like I said earlier, her grunting hedgehog (she gets very excited when you honk it, but then will usually play with it for a few seconds and then go to sleep on it). She has never played tug of war, as much as I tried.</span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span>4 Please describe any bad habits: She can't retain housebreaking, but she knows when she does it inside that she's done something wrong and will often become aggressive to avoid any punishment (her punishment is having to lie on her back being told 'Don't move Maddie' because she loves Pup Cave and the bathroom too much for either to be considered for time out - but sometimes I just remove her blanket from PupCave and it clearly upsets her). If she uses the bathroom in the house, she will always use the bathroom in the same exact place every time. When people have wronged her, she will use the bathroom on/near their belongings or on the floor of the places they frequent (she did this to my roommate, who always said nasty things to her and did mean things to her when I wasn't around - she did the works: pee, poop, and throw up - at the doors to both his room and bathroom whenever he did something bad to her... it was a vicious cycle). She also has bad separation anxiety. I had to get PupCave for her because (and I videotaped this numerous times) the second I left to go somewhere, work, class, errands, she would use the bathroom on the floor regardless of if I had just taken her out or not. Her Cave helped this tremendously. She also takes a long time to go to the bathroom outside, often forgetting what she is supposed to be doing (this gets frustrating when she does this after the 27th circle). Last thing, she like to eat herself. I don't know if this is what caused the yeast infection or what, but her breath is really bad, so when she chews on herself (sometimes to the point of breaking skin - I've had this checked out by vets, it's part of her neurological damage), it will sometimes turn into a medical issue if you don't clean it and wrap it until it heals. To help with this I put her in baby onesies during the winter and her skin is so much better. She's also a very dramatic actress and will often feign a problem to get extra attention - this is usually when there is a new person in the room. Basically, she 'cries wolf' a lot, so it's hard to tell if something is actually wrong until it's almost too late.</span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span>5 Please list any good traits: She is the most loving and caring girl. She doesn't chew on things she shouldn't, but she lays on things she probably shouldn't. The only thing she wants from this world is to be loved, and she will follow on your heels 24/7 and be right with you at all times if you let her.</span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span>6 Which commands does this animal know? Sit, 'Gimme kisses' and 'Don't move Maddie'</span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span>7 Was this animal neglected, abused or abandoned? Not at all.</span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span>8 Has the animal ever bitten someone? Please describe the circumstances: Maddie has bitten people ONLY when she's been cornered and the person kept trying to get her out of the corner, but did so with aggression. And it's more of a nip - her bites (playful only) don't hurt, her nips are rough. She does this most if she's used the bathroom in the house (the only time she does anything that requires punishment), and she makes a beeline to PupCave. She knows she can't be in there at that point, and if you don't talk to her calmly, she will back up in the corner and nip at you very quickly.</span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span>9 How many owners has this dog had? Primarily just me. My mom kept her for a few months after her seizure-fit so I could get my focus back on school, and I've had two serious relationships where she considered my boyfriends as authority figures second to myself.</span></p>
<p class="yiv901227128MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p><span>10 Where is the animal located now? We are currently living in Savannah, Georgia, but she is soon to be in Eastman, Georgia - I can't take her to Alabama with me and my parents can't keep her for long.<br/> <br/> Maddie has tested my patience over the years, but it has been worth it. I am beyond upset by the fact that I have to try and find her a new home, but I can no longer provide her with the care and time that she needs. I understand that because she is special needs and mentally impaired it will be slightly more difficult for someone to have to take care of her, but I promise you she is worth every bit of it. She's very easy to take care of, she just needs an eye to watch out for her and someone who loves her to let her know that she's safe. If you or anybody you know is interested in her, please contact me via email at jennibrown63@gmail.com. I check my email several times daily and promise I will respond very quickly. Also, if you have any other questions for me I will be more than happy to answer.</span></p>
<p><span>Maddie will go to her new home with PupCave and towels, a new grunty hedgehog, a bag of her favorite dog food, some of her medications, and I will do what I can to provide you with medical records. I ask for no money in return, just a promise that she will be loved and looked after.</span></p> Pem mix for adoption, San Bernardino CAtag:mycorgi.com,2013-06-16:1150197:Topic:17634042013-06-16T07:42:22.820ZJohn Wolffhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/JohnWolff92
<p>Sent by a friend who does rescue for white German shepherds. I've met two of these white GSDs, very nice animals. The white coat might be more comfortable in hot sun. Age unknown, at the shelter since 6/8/13.</p>
<p>In moments of dark weakness, I have fantasized about a corgi with slightly longer legs, and this physique is what comes to mind.…</p>

<p>It was a bad Saturday at Snoqualmie Pass near Seattle. Two separate avalanches involved over half-a-dozen snowshoers. 2 are dead, one of whom is still missing. Several injuries and very narrow escapes. The SAR heroes were busy.</p>

<p>It was a bad Saturday at Snoqualmie Pass near Seattle. Two separate avalanches involved over half-a-dozen snowshoers. 2 are dead, one of whom is still missing. Several injuries and very narrow escapes. The SAR heroes were busy.</p>
<p>One of the dead was a solo hiker whose dog apparently alerted a nearby party -- also caught in the avalanche -- and they somehow managed to find her under 5 feet of snow and dig her out. This took 45 minutes. She was alive, but perished during the evacuation. During all this confusion, the dog went missing.</p>
<p>Next day, Sunday, was much better weather. A group of hikers was told about the missing dog by sherriff's personnel at the trailhead. Late in the day, someone thought they heard a dog barking in the distance. Without hesitation at the end of a long day, they followed the rescue trail to Red Mountain and rescued Blue, who'd spent a cold, hungry, forlorn and presumably terrifying night without his best friend.</p>
<p>The spectacle of strangers rescuing a stranger in distress is heroic, yet sort of expected when it's a human. When it's "just" a dog, it's simply gratuitous, and no less heroic.</p>
<p>If you look at the map in this trip report, you'll see that they went a long ways out of their way to do this:</p>

<p>These are very popular hikes an hour from Seattle; many of the photos posted on Al & Gwynnie's page were taken there. This hits me hard, because Joy was obviously a kindred spirit. I looked at her blog, and she and Blue had done a lot of the same things I've done with Gwynn & Al.</p>
