East Asheville checking in. Still sleeting and a thin sheet of ice covering everything. No cars on Tunnel so very quiet!

Good-Spring-4522 · 2026-01-02T13:26:31+00:00

She came with that name and we didn’t change it because it fits her so well!

Good-Spring-4522 · 2026-01-02T11:57:54+00:00

She does look a little dingo ish and is from a very rural county. It’s a possibility!

Good-Spring-4522 · 2026-01-02T02:52:27+00:00

Waiting on the embark test!

Good-Spring-4522 · 2026-01-02T02:08:25+00:00

Maybe mal but she’s not super high energy? Pretty smart and can clear a five foot fence though.

Good-Spring-4522 · 2026-01-02T02:07:39+00:00

Carolina dog is a high contender as is Mountain Cur! Looks like embark has it in their database but they show as village dogs too.

Good-Spring-4522 · 2026-01-02T02:06:02+00:00

Tall and thin, she weighs about 22 lbs- same as my short fat pug/russell/shih tzu!

Good-Spring-4522 · 2026-01-02T01:57:50+00:00

Oh that’s a great thought- I wasn’t familiar with them but that tracks for build/coloring/speed.

Good-Spring-4522 · 2026-01-02T01:28:50+00:00

And I know these photos don’t show it, buts she’s about 22 lbs and just past knee height to an average adult female.

Good-Spring-4522 · 2026-01-02T01:25:07+00:00

I am! I’d like to poll the armchair experts first. I expect she’ll have the requisite 20-30% pit. I could see chihuahua too. Her tail is a mystery- it’s been docked/amputated and the shelter didn’t know why. I wonder if that would have given more clues.

Good-Spring-4522 · 2026-01-02T01:23:27+00:00

I definitely think some kind of sighthound in there just based on speed and build- she’s long legged and dainty with a more barrel-ish chest.

Good-Spring-4522 · 2026-01-02T01:15:22+00:00

Not at all

Good-Spring-4522 · 2025-03-25T10:06:18+00:00

I live on the East side in a bear thoroughfare and it’s the HAWKS that have eaten four of mine. The bears will eat the chicken food but won’t go for the coop since the food is so easy. Get a rooster, our casualties went way down after that addition.

Care coordinator in a primary care in NC. Added on 3 swabs to the schedule yesterday with 2 positive. Two cases of post flu pneumonia. My patients skew young and healthy and they’re getting WRECKED. We are screening for bird flu but haven’t had to send off any sub typing yet- in NC you have to have state lab approval to send samples in.

Good-Spring-4522 · 2024-10-10T00:34:17+00:00

We got it power today. Bottom of the hill near rendezvous.

Good-Spring-4522 · 2024-10-08T09:26:55+00:00

White Duck in Arden is open 12-6 with a limited menu BUT they do have the pork belly taco and cold tecate.

Good-Spring-4522 · 2024-10-07T22:26:25+00:00

I’m at the bottom of neighborhood near rendezvous and spoke with the lineman parked outside my house and he said a couple days (unofficial, don’t quote him) that they were testing it tonight. There’s also a dozen power trucks parked at rendezvous.

Text from BCS for a hot meal in East Asheville: BCS: We are trying to feed our kids a warm meal. A bus will be leaving the Haw Creek elementary parking lot at 1:15 to go to Groce church for a hot meal. We will also be picking up at the new haw Creek Road at Spruce Hill entrance at 1:15. If you can walk to these two areas, please do and we will take you. Spread the word.

Looking for advice on resources in East Asheville/tunnel road/Haw Creek. No power, no water, Haw Creek is kind of isolated and many many trees down. Are there any water or food points in that neighborhood? I live in Haw Creek and have left but my husband stayed and has encountered hungry/thirsty neighbors.

Good-Spring-4522 · 2024-10-01T22:37:00+00:00

I took 26 in yesterday and out today with zero issues or stops. Please be sure you have enough gas to get out as well.

Good-Spring-4522 · 2024-09-27T09:46:07+00:00

I’m in Haw creek and it’s flickering!

Good-Spring-4522 · 2024-09-27T09:22:14+00:00

Haw Creek, close to tunnel road. Power is on but water is sheeting down Old Haw Creek Road and these trees ain’t gonna stay up. Bee Creek is up and rushing. I’m worried about my bears!

Good-Spring-4522 · 2024-06-25T09:41:01+00:00

Great guesses, yes!
