Every dog likes to make a splash at some point, right?? Milo certainly did!
For this edition of Wag-alongs: Tales from the furry side, Jacobs Media General Manager Bill Maine and AccessWDUN reporter Lauren Hunter teamed up with Candace Solyst, owner of the Pooch Pontoon, to take six-year-old, Terrier/Beagle mix Milo out on a Lake Lanier adventure. The group launched from the courtesy dock of the Gainesville Marina, then boated to an island where Milo took the opportunity to run, play and splash in the water. Milo certainly showed his more playful and energetic side, but also demonstrated during his time on the boat that he can relax and follow basic commands like sit .

Allison Mayfield, who recently started her role of executive director for the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia, said she can’t remember when her passion for helping animals first sparked.
For all of her life, Mayfield said she has surrounded herself with furry, feathered and scaly friends. She cares for the welfare of creatures, no matter how small or frightening. The executive director said she will go out of her way to carry spiders outside.
But they need the community s help to accomplish this goal.
Community members can help by selecting an ornament from one of the HSNEGA PAW-liday Giving Trees and then donating the item pictured on the ornament. Each ornament represents a specific donation item from the HSNEGA rescue s PAW-liday wish list . So far we ve probably received around 500 items, said Kevin Wells, Development Coordinator for HSNEGA. Last year we raised around 3,500 items, approximating $15,000, so we would love to beat that goal with around 4,000 items donated this year.
Donation items include dog collars, food and leashes. A few ornaments even request a sponsor for a shelter animal.
