I have been involved in two doggie rescues two days in a row. What are the odds of that? Yesterday Tanya, Daryl, Mia and I found Blue (pictured above) roaming the streets. We called her owner and no answer. Asked around and no one knew her. Luckily her owner came to get her. He had no lease and an untrained (but so sweet) dog. Not the sharpest tack in the jar. Then this morning I was driving back home and a cute Chow mix named Jenny was in the middle of the road. Called her owner and no answer. But I found her address on her tag and saw the gate ajar at that house, so I put her in the yard and shot the gate (*yes I CHANGED it!*). Tried the owner again and got her and she was very nice and appreciative.
I know how she feels. Lula has taken to slipping out the doors undetected. We bought an anti-barking device that emits a high pitched noise when the dogs bark. Lula is terrified of it. It works. She doesn't bark, but now she tries to run away from the machine (which happens to be located in the house) at every opportunity. So our neighbors have brought her back twice now saying that she is lying in the road and they have almost run her down. Oh the shame. I feel like such a bad doggie owner at times like this. Hopefully finding Jenny and Blue will help my dog karma.
