Missing: 2 dogs in Walkertown--FOUND!

Good News...The pups were found and are safe and sound back at home. Thanks everyone!

My friend Wendy and her sweet son Gregory are desperately looking for thier dogs, "Samson and Smokey" who ran away yesterday morning. Today is Gregory's birthday. Maybe you can help his birthday wish come true and find his pups. Here is more info:

They went missing yesterday morning from our house on Davis Rd. and were spotted before lunch around Dippen Rd. If found, please send me an email: tami@wbfj.fm. I'll contact the family and let them know.

Samson is the smaller dog, a Labradoodle, and I think is wearing an orange collar.

Smokey is the large dog, a Lab/ German Shep. Mix, and is wearing a purple collar.

A tree grows where?

Tree grows inside man's lung

REUTERS
FIR SURE: A Russian man has had a 5cm fir tree removed from one of his lungs.

A Russian man who was being operated on for a suspected tumour ended up having a fir tree removed from one of his lungs. The 5cm tree, was discovered by surgeons when they opened up Artyom Sidorkin, 28, according to Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Gazeta.

It is believed Mr Sidorkin inhaled a seed, which then sprouted into a small fir tree inside his lung.
He went to doctors complaining of extreme chest pain and coughing up blood.

Surgeon Vladimir Kamashev told the newspaper he was sure it was cancer. "We did X-rays and found what looked exactly like a tumour. I had seen hundreds before, so we decided on surgery."

The tree was discovered when surgeons took a biopsy before removing the major part of the man's lung. "I thought I was hallucinating," said Dr Kamashev. "I blinked three times as I was sure I was seeing things."

"It was very painful. But to be honest I did not feel any foreign object inside me," a relieved Mr Sidorkin told the paper.

Creative Mission Trip Fundraisers

If you are like me and have a child going on a mission trip this summer, here are some creative fundraising ideas provided by WBFJ listeners:

-Pie in the Eye Auction- Auction off whipped-cream pies to your church congregation. The winning bidder gets to give your minister, youth minister, etc. a face full of whipped cream pie.

-Yard Sale/Ebay- Have your child go through his room and sell stuff at a yard sale or on ebay. My family is having a yard sale next month and Andrew is going to set up a refreshment table to raise money.

-Flower Grams-Work with a local florist to buy carnations at a discount. Then offer flower-grams at your church on Mother's Day.

-Book it- Ask friends and family members submit their recipes and compile a cookbook which you can then sell for donations. You could also create poetry books, calendars, compile art work into a book...be creative! You can have the books printed and bound pretty cheaply at kinkos or the UPS store.

-Get to Work- Depending on your childs age, she can babysit, wash cars, clean houses, mow lawns or help with other odd jobs in exchange for a donation towards their trip.

-Krispy Kreme Sales-Krispy Kreme sells donuts to non-profits for a reduced price that they can turn around and sell for a profit. Sunday mornings before people head into Sunday School are a great time to sell donuts.
