Ruby’s
Bark Box
Bark, bark from Ruby.
Well, Mother’s Day has come
and gone. I hope all you Mothers
had a wonderful day.
A couple of Mothers I know
got nice hanging plants, cards
and a couple of handmade, very
special framed Mother’s Day
cards with some little round
things, they are calling buttons.
I don’t understand the whole
thing but they sure are proud of
their framed buttons. BOL.
This story is about a family of
five; Dad, Mom, two girls and
their two year old dog named
Carrot, since she is reddish
colored and pretty small, about
10 pounds. (Smaller than I
am).
The family was in a park that
had a trail where a cliff was
below the peak. Carrot was on
a leash (retractable) that was
rated for 50 pounds. As they
were hiking up and reached the
peak of the cliff, Carrot saw a
chipmunk and began pulling on
the leash. You can almost guess
the rest. Yes, that 50 pound
rated leash broke and Carrot fell
about 100 feet off the cliff, and
bounced off the bottom trail and
fell another 10 feet into the water
below. There was no fence up to
protect anyone from a fall.
Both girls were screaming and
crying. Mom and the girls stood
by helpless while dad went down
below.
Several rescue vehicles arrived
and lifted Carrot from the water.
She was taken to a vet where
they x-rayed her. The vet said
she should not have survived the
fall. Carrot received treatment
for her injuries and sent on to
an Animal Hospital where she
had an MRI. Results from the
test showed a damaged vertebra.
An operation would be very
expensive, but if needed it would
be done. The vet wanted to try
medication and rest for Carrot
to see if she would improve on
her own. She can walk with the
help of a sling, so to make sure
she got the rest she needs, she
was crated for at least 20 hours
a day for four weeks.
She began to improve right
away and continues to do so.
Everyone says Carrot is tough
and she will recover.
The girls are so happy that
their dog is getting well. She
will be able to run and play
before to long. They know she
has determination, because she
somehow got to Missouri from
Georgia where she was adopted
into her present, forever family,
when she was about one year
old.
The leash company has been
contacted about the possibility
of a defect with their leash.
This is pretty scary to me,
since I am a dog, so if any of
my family walks me on a leash,
I will never run after a varmint
like that. – Maybe!!
What I like to do is dig into a
place in my yard where a mole
has been. I can make the dirt fly
and I love it. BOL. Don’t tell
this – but I have dug like that
and ended up having to take a
bath. That’s the only drawback
I have found about digging for
a mole. And by the way, I have
never dug one up, I don’t know
what I would do if I did. BOL.
Thank you for reading about
Carrot the dog!!
Adopt, Spay and Neuter.
Bark at you next week!!

LOOSE DENTURES?
MINI DENTAL
IMPLANT SYSTEM
How can mini dental implants help
denture wearers?
The Mini Dental Implant System uses 1.8
mm mini dental implants, which are about
the size of wooden toothpicks, and are
gently placed into the front of the patients
upper and/or lower jaw. It is a relatively
painless procedure that only requires a mild
anesthesia. Your denture is then carefully
adjusted to fit securely onto the mini implants.
The result? A tight fitting denture, that
allows you to speak and eat with confidence.
All performed in less than two hours: Less
Invasive, Less Discomfort, Less Healing time
and HALF the cost of traditional implants.

Crider Arrested
By: Kathee Sanchez-Baird
A third person has now been
charged with murder in connection
to the February disappearance of a
Highlandville man.
On May 7th, Stone County
prosecutor Matt Selby charged
Eugene “Gene” K. Crider, 42, with
first-degree murder. Crider was
charged in March, with tampering
with physical evidence in connection
to the disappearance of Carl Glenn
Anderson.
Crider lived with Teri Dean-
Morrison and Cheryl Crawford at 263
Akita Run near Hootentown. In early
March investigators found blood
throughout the home that lab tests
determined belonged to Anderson.
Anderson was last seen at a party at
the Hootentown address, according
to authorities.
According to the probable cause
statement filed against Crider, “On 02-
27-12 Eugene admitted to a witness
that Carl Anderson was beaten to
death with a hammer and that during
the attack he broke the windows and
door when he (Anderson) attempted
to flea (sic). Eugene also admitted that
he disposed of Carl Anderson’s body
by burning it and he asked to use her
vehicle to move his remains.”
In the probable cause statement’s
filed against Dean-Morrison and
Crawford, who are also charged with
first-degree murder, investigators
said that the home was cleaned up
and some of its contents were burned,
moved and/or replaced in an effort to
conceal Anderson’s murder.
Stone County Detective Matt
Maggard writes in the newest
probable cause affidavit, “Eugene
Crider was aware that evidence of
Marionville
Farmers Market
The New Marionville Farmer’s
Market will open Sat. May 5 at 5
p.m. For more information call Dan
at 417-463-2925.

Implantology is a specialty area not recognized by the ADA that requires no
specific educational training to advertise this service.
Anderson being murdered was found
and that evidence that he had helped
dispose of the body was located. On
03-06-12 a shovel and gas can were
observed in the back of his pickup.
On 03-07-12 he left the residence
and on 03-08 the truck was parked
and left at Wal-Mart in Springfield to
avoid law enforcement from finding
it. Eugene later had Krystal Buras
remove and hide items from his truck
including the shovel.”
Last month, Krystal Nicole Buras,
30, of Spring, Texas, was arrested and
charged with tampering with physical
evidence when she attempted to visit
Crider at the Stone County jail.
When Crider, Crawford and Dean-
Morrison were arrested near Lake
Ozark on March 9th, their cell phones
were confiscated and proved to be a
valuable tool in pinpointing the areas
the trio had been.
One of the places the suspects
had spent a considerable amount of
time at was the rural property of Earl
Kearney off of Highway OO near
Reeds Spring. Kearney is a former
boyfriend of Dean-Morrison.
A search warrant was granted
on March 19th for investigator’s
to search Kearney property. It was
during a second search of Kearney’s
property on March 21st that detectives
found human remains in a pond. The
Missouri Highway Patrol Crime Lab
determined that the remains belonged
to Anderson.
Crider, Crawford and Dean-
Morrison remain jailed on $1 million
dollars bond each. Crider is due back
in court on May 22nd.
Crawford and Dean-Morrison are
scheduled to have a dual preliminary
hearing on May 25th.
