Emotional Anchors Missing

The two rust-colored dogs, who are brother and sister and about a year and a half old, were last seen in Kisner's fenced-in yard in the Oak Flat area Friday afternoon. The animals apparently got out of the yard, or may have been stolen, from a section of fence that Kisner had previously repaired. Kisner said she's not sure what happened.

"More than anything else, these dogs have been my survival," Kisner said. "I lost my husband three years ago … to lose them is just more than I can handle right now."

Kisner's husband of 27 years, Mike, had struggled with bipolar disorder and took his own life in the fall of 2006. Three months after that Kisner's house was broken into.

It seems like a lot of misfortune for someone who spends her spare time making people laugh. For the last 19 years, Kisner has put on greasepaint and a funny suit to become Binky the clown.

Her two fondest clowning memories, and the reason she does it, have to do with helping others through hard times, she said.

The first happened when she first started clowning. She was driving along the freeway, still in her clown suit after a gig when she saw homeless man walking near the roadway as she merged onto Interstate 40.

"He carried himself like he was at a very low point," she said.

The man physically changed just because she honked her car horn and waved to him, she said.

"He just grew springs," she said. "I realized that I had a gift to give people, even if it's just a moment."

2. Someone near her knows what happened.
Let them be strong and come forward to help find these animals. Good thoughts and energy sent her way.

4. Yeah, I can't imagine if they had run away that they would not have come back
When my dogs have gotten out from my X's house, they run around then come over here to my place.

I don't see why someone would just up and steal them either, but then people can be real a$$holes at times.
