I almost hit a very young grey kitten (probably nursing age) while merging onto 69 south from 45/46 this morning at about 7:30. I'm not sure if the kitten was hit by a car as I was not able to stop. Concerned there are more in the area that could also end up on the interstate.

Small dog is left outside in backyard of 500 S. Hawthorne all day and well into the night. The dog barks a lot, especially at night, and it's unclear whether anyone is present at home regularly. The dog used to get loose and run all over the neighborhood. It even bit a neighbor. This is a sadly neglected pet and should be saved from this cruel situation.
Dead Raccoon on the road for 2 days.

Multiple incidents of two toy size dogs (possibly Pomeranian and Shitzu) being off leash in an un-fenced area which allows them to run into Grimes (a very busy through steeet). Multiple incidents of dogs being left unattended and found up to a block away from the residence. Today, Sunday September 28, Pomeranian was approached while actively in the middle of the street away from the resident and subsequent home, dog began growling although it was slowly moving towards. Asked resident why dog was off leash and looked like a stray, she stated “they just get out sometimes” implying this is a recurring issue. Also to this fact, the dogs have been observed in an unsafe environment for multiple weeks
