Furniture for Pets
It seems that for some reason, possibly due to the loss of a home after the flooding we had in CNY, someone either lost track of or abandoned a full grown Afghan hound.
He's been wandering the area, and no one has been able to catch him. He seems to be quite happily wandering and hunting, but his coat is badly matted and someone needs to get him before winter really sets in here. I saw him trotting down our street the other morning.
Prayers that he's caught and given a loving home.

Awww, Afghan hound! Please let LH help you. No goggie should be wandering in the cold.

Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

Saying a prayer that he will let you or someone else catch him before th weather turn foul, especially so he can get help with his matted coat, poor thing! Plus given his likely coloring, we will pray that no hunter mistakes him for a deer ...

He's within 1/2 mile of the house, still wandering.

Might take a concerted effort of several people to get him/her. Can
you get a large trap & bait it with yummy dog food? Have you trying
calling to him when he gets close by? The worst thing is to chase after
him, he'll likely run in the oppisite direction. Prayers he calms down & accepts help from someone.

Hmmm, maybe some smelly wet dog food might lure him in enough to be captured? (Down back, of course, so Lady wouldn't see and bark him away ... ) Or a slow drive with a box of biscuits to rattle ...

THe problem with using a trap or a group effort to corral him would be the other rather more numerous canine denizens of the ridges he's running. We'd be far more likely to attract or capture a coyote.

Yeah, I kinda figured that, given the woods behind the house ... Sight hounds like that can be devilish to catch, and I am sure there are plenty of chipmunks and bunnies in the fields to distract him as well. Good luck, and keep us posted.

Aw, best chance may be to get him into someone's fenced back yard, then close the gate.
Afghans are gorgeous dogs, and yes they do need regular grooming. I can just imagine the mats, s/he may need to be shaved down once caught.
Come on, Afghan hound, the living is lovely in a home!

Love you and STILL miss U
Poor dog. I hate to think of him wandering around missing his home. I hope he's found safe, soon.

I did the right thing by setting you free
But the pain is very deep.
If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
I miss you
I hear you whimper in your sleep
I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.
Fur as dark as the night.
Join me on this flight.
Paws of love that follow me.
In my heart you'll forever be.

How I wish I could hold you near.
Turn back time to make it so.
Hug you close and never let go.

LH, how are things going with the wandering pup? Have you seen him (her?) again? I hope he lets himself be rescued.

Well, email update this morning is that he's moved a little further afield, but the person keeping tabs on him (an afghan breeder) is going to try to trap him/her.
In this case, prayers for both the rescuer and the pup, as this area is fairly heavily populated by coyotes. I hope they catch the right canine.
Mayor
Prayers on the way! Come to a home for Christmas, wanderer!

Rescued and at the vet's office!
Good job, Fran!
