I understand you don’t normally do this but my Mums little black and white Shih tzu went missing today outside the Spar Shop in Ardleigh, Mullingar, Co Westmeath (a lot scragglier than the pic as she needs a clip). She was wearing a red lead. She’s a lovely little friendly dog called Muffin. She has only one eye due to being attacked last year by a stray dog. She brings great joy to my sick mother who is very distressed.
If anyone has any information please leave details. Even if you haven’t seen her please share this post with your family and friends. Someone must have seen her. Thanks for your help.

“The Boston Marathon bombing suspects — armed with explosives and guns — battled law enforcement officers in a Boston suburb early Friday morning, unleashing chaos until cops took one of the men into custody and the other fled, law enforcement sources said.”
“Officials later said the suspect taken into custody died and authorities identified the man on the run as the “white-hat” suspect, referencing photographs released by the FBI Thursday. Authorities warned he should be considered armed and dangerous.”
“The standoff in Watertown, Mass., erupted shortly after the fatal shooting of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer. A transit police officer was also wounded in the Watertown fire fight, officials confirmed to NBC affiliate WHDH.”
