i think a book is a great idea! you always have funny, touching, sad, happy, etc stories! :D
BOW-WOW I mean,
I am sorry to say that I was having doubts, but I am so HAPPY for you and glad that your prayers were answered.
I can't believe it. This must be why I needed to check the computer when I came home. Welcome home Delta!!!!!!!!!!
This has made my day! Welcome home, Delta!
Fascinating details about your catching Delta! Thank you for sharing it. You described it so well, I felt as though I were there watching!
Reading of your experience with Delta will be helpful for any of us who attempt to rescue a frightened dog someday in the future.
It's probably not surprising that he upchucked his food, considering the variety of things he had been offered the last day or two! :D
Did you ever discover how he got out in the first place? It has to be a worry, that he'll try it again. I hope not -- I don't think we Pet Talkers could survive another episode!! :D

It's the only time I can think of that he could have gotten out. Delta has never left the yard before, not even when windstorms took out all the fences. He must have just followed his brother. I think something spooked them. Antare, being braver, headed for home. Delta just blindly ran and ended up lost.
The gates have been redesigned. They are tough for me to open now. I don't think any of the dogs will get through again!
:) Lady sounds like a sweetheart, bringing him home, sharing her food & all. And I'll bet Antare couldn't be happier, now that he has his brother back! Maybe Delta will accept your attention a little easier now, not be so skittish. It's great you've worked so hard to establish some trust with him in the past, otherwise you would probably NEVER have caught him! Hope his tummy feels better, poor guy. ((((hugs))))
Ohh! Poor boy, at least he is now keeping the food down. Does he seem to be more relaxed being home for a while, or is he still terrified?
Once again, welcome back Delta!

She let him stay and shared her food with him. I left all the extra treats I had for her last night. Her owner refused to accept the reward money we were offering. Today I went I bought a gift certificate for the local pet store for Lady and another one to a nice restaurant for her owners.
These two are true PT heroes!! Very thoughtful gestures from you too.
How is Delta today?
Still can't get this great big smile off my face. It is so great to know that Delta is home and safe. Big hugs and kisses to Lady for being such a sweet girl. I agree with cyber-sibes, it is because of all of the work you did with Delta to establish his trust that you were able to catch him at all.
IM sooooooooooooooooooooooo happy, thank the lord..I could just cry... :)
Thats great that the gate has been redesigned! Im still really happy Delta is home!http://www.smileypad.com/v10/Cache/Happy/yahoo.gif
:eek: A month! Wow. Congratulations, and Delta sounds like such a lucky boy for having a family who refused to give up on him.
I AM SO HAPPY 4 YOU....NONE OF US GAVE UP...LOOK WHAT GOD DID! ITS A MIRACLE!!!!! i HAVE TEARS IN MY EYES.AND THATS A GOOD THING!! wELCOME HOME DELTA!!!
P.S WHERE DID YOU FIND HIM? detaiLS PLEASE!!!
Oh the JOY - he is home!!!!! :D
Tamara,
Reading your post of everything you did to "catch" him, and the wonderful things you have done for the people who have helped you, just show what a truly beautiful person you are ....
(((hugs))) to you all ......... and I am so glad he is finally home where he belongs.
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :d
Sheesh, go away to a hockey tournament for a few days in rainy Vancouver (we lost all of our games and came home early), and look what happens. Delta is home. Although there never was any doubt that he would come home eventually. Thank God that Delta was found, safe and sound. Now we can all get a better nights sleep. Delta, here is a great big hug and kiss for you. And an admonishment - DON'T DO IT AGAIN!!!!! Stinker!
Thanks again everyone.
Delta is doing very well. He's still very hungry, but no more puking. I'm giving him lots of little meals every day. I'm also keeping him inside alot. Partly because I want him near me and partly because it will be easier for him to regain some weight if he doesn't have to waste any calories staying warm. He is loving being in the computer room. He just snuggles right into his blanket and snoozes. It's the most relaxed I've ever seen him in the house. Tonight he actually came through the door into the house on his own. In three years, he's never done that before. I always carry him into the house! He's playing with his buddies in the yard and wooing at me whenever he sees me, just like he never left! I get a big ol' stupid grin on my face every time I see him!
Happy to hear Delta is doing well! I hope you are getting some rest now too. :)
Struggled into work with that Monday morning feeling but just reading your latest post has put a big stupid grin on my face too! :D
Still grinning here :D. Glad to hear Delta is settling back in.
Tamara, I think all of us here at PT still can't wipe the big ol' stupid grins off our faces. I'm still in awe that that big guy is is back and so happy he's doing so well. It warms my heart every day to know that such good people have had such a good thing take place in their lives. No one could deserve it more than you guys. Enjoy your time with the fabulous Mr. Delta!!! :) :) :)
Please give him a ton of extra kisses from us here in Florida too.
I wasa gone over the weekend, so I'm just now seeing this. I'm so happy for you I'm crying! I can't begin to tell you how happy and relieved I am that he's home. Thank you God!
Talk about the Luck of the Irish!! Happy belated St. Patrick's Day to all of you!! I'm so happy to hear that Delta is safe and home where he belongs. :D
Wow, that is great news. I knew it would happen. That is just awesome, welcome home Delta boy.
Wow, great news. I am so happy for you all!
:) :) :)
I can't stop smiling!
OMG! I didn't see this with all the stuff going on with Jimmy. I'm so happy for you! :D :D :D :D
All those PT prayers must have worked! :D
YAY! OMG I AM SOOO HAPPY! IN TEARS OF JOY!! I have been waiting for this sweet moment when I could hear the words come out of your mouth that "Delta is safe and home!" Thank god and all
