A stray dog came to my house.

Yeap, I agree you are the rightful owners. If you hadn't stepped in when you did, she would probably be dead by now. So to heck with the other owner. She belongs to you two, end of story!

I would do the dead minimum to avoid guilt! Call the local shelter and put in a found report and put an ad in the paper for 2 days that says, found dog, wandered into yard, please call......

How are the antibiotics working?? I'll bet she's feeling better and better everyday.

Oh yeah, I would charge the owners, if they show up, for the surgery (before they take her) and that will probably solve the problem right there.

Don't let her leave you! You're the best thing that could have happened to her. I would post a vague ad and maybe call the shelter like mugsy said, if you feel you need to. However, if it were me, I wouldn't do a thing. She belongs with you. It's obvious she's happy. Too sweet a dog to go anywhere else.

I hope they don't have the nerve to even claim her after the condition we saw her in! She was so pitiful! I still feel like crying over what she had to go through!

She is so happy now! Her bushy beautiful tail up and wagging as she walks a little ahead of us...

I can't even think about her going back to whoever it was that treated her that way!

:(

I have to agree with Val, those people don't deserve her. I would say the would owe you an arm and a leg for what you and Andy have done to that sweet little Pandy!

Hmmmm, I would say with the surgery and the heartache and worry, I would say about 2000 dollars might, and I did say might cover it! Do they really want to spend that much to get her back??? I would think not if they left her go like that in the first place! Talk about not caring, she was nothing but skin and bones when you got her and so very unhappy looking. Now with every picture I see, those eyes just get happier and happier.

Willie

Thank you Willie, I am a worrier ..you know how I am. That phone call was way too scary for me!:eek:

:(

Not to worry Ann, you have plenty of backup if needed.. but I'm sure it won't be. You are she and she is you and you are all together. Let no man (or woman) put asunder what is right. End of story. She reminds me so much of my little Cheeky One that went to the bridge in December I feel like she has come back to share some of her love with you. Enjoy every moment with her. She is beautiful and happy - so are you, how can that be wrong? It can't.

Ok, so I'm a little slow when it comes to the dog side, but at least I finally saw this thread and think you and Andy are absolutely WONDERFUL for taking Pandy in and getting her all fixed up! I can't believe how much better she looks in the second set of pics! It's almost like she's a different dog! And not just how she looks, but her stance and her demeanor and everything. She seems happy and self-assured now rather than scared and in pain - poor baby.

She is just beautiful, in body and in spirit, and I'm so happy she found her way to your yard. :)

Ahaaaa...reincarnation for good dogs (hadn't thought of that, but it makes sense). So not only is Pandy in better spirits, but maybe better spirits are in Pandy?:D

You know something? That makes me finally feel better too :) Give that sweet face a skewchy scritch from her Auntie Laurie please.

Pandy says thank you Auntie Laurie. :D

I call this picture "Daddy Love." :D

I love the "goth" lipstick she's wearing! It looks so striking with the black along her bottom jaw. :D
