I can't believe it. This must be why I needed to check the computer when I came home. Welcome home Delta!!!!!!!!!!

**Cataholic** · 03-18-2006, 08:44 PM

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))))

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?

**Ginger's Mom** · 03-19-2006, 06:35 AM

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...

**Alysser** · 03-19-2006, 12:30 PM

**Sophist** · 03-19-2006, 01:35 PM

A month! Wow. Congratulations, and Delta sounds like such a lucky boy for having a family who refused to give up on him.
