Templeton is a big town. You would have thought they would have at least said what part of town this happened in ? I just think a little more information would have helped.
ReplyDeleteLast Friday I called in a fox that was staggering around by Depot Rd. I reported that it looked sickly and wasn't behaving in a normal fashion.
ReplyDeleteThe animal was a skunk that was positive for rabies.
