Dog lost on Ansonia Hilltop; last seen on Highland Avenue

 

Shelby

Dear readers, 

I just noticed this on Facebook and wanted to help: 

"Lost Dog!!

Shelby got loose in Ansonia CT at 2:30pm today. She is brindle with white markings on her paws, chest and tail.

She is shy but friendly with other dogs. Was last seen running up Highland Ave towards Prindle.

Please call Ansonia PD they have been notified. 203-735-1885

Thank you all."

Appreciation shown to Ansonia Fire Department

 

I'm kinda on edge here on Ansonia Hilltop this evening without any gas heat. My husband Ralph uses a wheelchair and cannot move around to keep warm as we wait to get our gas restored.

So when I heard fire trucks nearby on Ford Street I walked up the street to see what had happened and took these photos.

I heard it was a chimney fire but I have no official information. I want to give a big shout-out to the AFD for its quick response. 

Thank you to all who were on hand to keep our residents safe! You are appreciated.

Ansonia Police: Water pumping station malfunctions Friday

ANSONIA - Ansonia Police said at about 2:20 p.m. Friday the water pumping station on the corner of Hill Street and North Spring Street completely malfunctioned causing the pumps to be shut down. 

Ansonia Public Works Department crews along with Regional Water Authority workers are in the process of assessing the damage to fix the pumps and get them running again. 

This issue should only affect the Hilltop area of Ansonia, however there is a water tank on the Hilltop which should limit the problems. Updates will be provided as new information becomes available.

Seen from the Ansonia Hilltop. Have a peaceful Sunday!

On this date in 2014 Ansonia was a winter wonderland

It was quite pretty but I'm glad it doesn't look like this around here today.

Recuperation journey: Raccoons munch on mulberries

We were about to sit down for a (fashionably) late dinner Tuesday, Fourth of July eve, when daughter Allegra noticed three raccoons in the front yard. 
They climbed up the mulberry tree and started enjoying their dinner - mulberries. I ran for the camera.

They demonstrated good balance as they scampered along the branches. Meanwhile we heard the yelling from the birds who normally feast on the berries. 

I took about a dozen photos but these critters can move fast and hide when they want to do so!
