Still seeking history of Gramps

CORNWALL — A handful of responses has not yielded any real clues about Gramps, the big brown dog taken in by the Little Guild last month. He was picked up as a stray in Litchfield, and that is all that is known about his past.Most worrisome of his many medical problems are the violent seizures.Gramps is doing much better with mild doses of anti-seizure medication. But it is not always the best long-term approach. A medical history is vitally important to his ongoing treatment.He is large for an American bulldog, at about 98 pounds, but is still a bit underweight. Even a couple of weeks of loving care at the shelter cannot disguise his challenges. But he is as good-natured as they come. He hangs out with other “lobby dogs” and humans and is easily enticed to play or just soak up attention.Anyone with information should call 860-318-5097. Information can be given anonymously.

As homecoming week reaches its end and fall sports finish out the season, an air of school spirit and student participation seems to be on the rise across Housatonic Valley Regional High School.
