He's Home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Glacier]

Oh I just had to take another look at his pictures again! He looks really good -- a little scared, but good! Has Antare seen him yet?

Antare was key to catching him. I had Antare on a flexi-leash with me all afternoon. I could see him in the trees, but couldn't get him out until I let Antare out of the truck. He came right over and wooed at his brother. It still took several hours to catch him, but he stayed much closer once he saw his brother.

[Almita]

Yayy! I'm so happy! Congrats on getting him back safe and sound!

I keep coming back to say:

WELCOME HOME BUD!

[Pawsitive Thinking]

We need a "Delta's home" one now

P.S. Even my hubby was thrilled to hear that Delta is home - he has trouble understanding how I could get so caught up with a dog that I've never met and probably never will.......

[Anita Cholaine]

omg, these are wonderful news! We were expecting this such along time ago, and I can't believe it is happening!

Welcome home, Delta!!!

I'm so happy for all of you, Tamara! We really need to thank God for this...

[BOBS DAD]

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!!!!!!!!!!

[Cataholic]

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!

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!!

His escape route has been blocked. Antare, who can be a little troublemaker somedays, pulled the driveway gate open just a smidgen. He was waiting at the gate not long after to be let back in. We never knew that Delta had gone with him when he escaped until a couple hours later when I went to feed the dog and Delta didn't come for his dinner. 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))))

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.
