LOL, easy to do in the South! There are no weekend papers here and neither has on-line classifieds. I did check Friday's papers and there was nothing. Next paper doesn't come out til 4pm Monday. I'll put an ad in if he hasn't been claimed.

Glacier, if you find his owners, tell them they might want to do what Archie's mom did. Archie was a Wheaton Terrier who lives abput three miles away from us, on the other side of Commonwealth Ave - where the Boston Marathon is run. When I discovered Archie eating my neighbor's trash one day, I hooked a finger in his collar, and he came readily with me to our porch. Paul examined his collar and found not only his name embriodered on it, but a tag with his address and phone number. Archie had been known to "take a wander before, and they had just moved to a new house. His mom didn't think that hole in the fence was big enough for him to fit through ... We called and didn't get an answer, so figured we'd drive him home, tying him on a porch or garage if there was one. By the time we got there (Archie let out one "Bark" to say "This is MY house," and one more at the door to say "I'm home, ") his mom and the two human boys were home. Mom apologized, scolded Archie, told me "We DO feed him, honest," and it was a happy ending. No playtime in the back yard though until Daddy came home to fix the fence!

I hope his owners call soon!

What about Petfinder or Dog Detective? Those are free and online 24 hours a day.

He he... it was so funny being referred to as "the South." Ah, good ol Perspective.

[ratdogg]

i barely know your story, but i've heard a bit. I think the doggy is in the best hands possible for now. It seems like the dog was well cared for and I hope it can be reunited with his owners. but if that doesn't happen I'm sure it won't be a bad thing. What a lucky day for you!

[Glacier]

He's been claimed. He escaped from a dogsitter. I am making arrangements to return him right now. More details later....gotta get back to the ER right now....it's been one of those days!

[Karen]

Yay! A happy ending, thanks for letting us know.

[Cinder & Smoke]

He's been claimed.
He escaped from a dogsitter.

Awww, NUTZ!
BLESS You, Tamara, for the Rescue and the loving care you gave StrayPup.

For Tehya's sake, I hope she and "Buddy" can arrange some future Play Dates.

Now about THIS >>>

gotta get back to the ER right now ...

it's been one of those days!

OMG!
WHO got hurt???

"ER" as in People ER or "ER" as in Vet's Office???

Hope Stuart headed back to the Gold Mine without incident ...

Are *YOU* the patient???

PRAYERS Offered for whoever needs 'em!

[crow_noir]

That's good news!

I'm sure S.O. will be relieved that i won't be making arrangements for another foster pup!

ER?! What's up?!

He's been claimed. He escaped from a dogsitter. I am making arrangements to return him right now. More details later....gotta get back to the ER right now....it's been one of those days!

[Glacier]

Ok, more time for details now.....oh, where to start!

Stuart was supposed to go back to work tomorrow in the mining camp, emphasis on supposed to! He was doing yard work today with a Bobcat(a small loader type tractor). I'm not clear on the details of what happened, but essentially the tractor tipped forward and Stuart's head went through the window. He suffered a massive laceration to his scalp and a concussion. X-rays showed no skull fractures and a CT scan didn't show anything major, but he took a significant hit to the head and that's always major. He's spending the night in the hospital for observation.

While we were in the ER, one of the nurses overheard me say my name and came over to talk to me. His wife hadn't quite been able to understand the messages I left on their friend's answering machine. She speaks little English(she's a francophone). Turns out that the nurse and his wife were taking care of Milo for the local surgeon! They live not far from where I found Milo, but a long way from where he actually lives.

In another weird twist, they are very good friends with my closest neighbors and provide daycare for my neighbors' youngest son. I ran home to feed the dogs while Stuart was getting the CT scan. Met my neighbor in the driveway and handed Milo over to her. The ER nurse was just finishing his shift when I got back to the hospital and was on his way to pick Milo up.

Just for extra weirdness, Milo's actual owner has operated on Stuart--she did his last hernia repair! She actually told us a few stories about her dog while in pre-op! Milo is deeply loved and has followed her around the country as she has moved for her work! I have no concerns about him going back to her.

Tehya has plenty of friends already, although I think Anvik enjoyed the break from being chewed on. Since the people who love Milo seem to all be connected to my world somehow, I am sure Tehya and her buddy will cross paths again!

[cassiesmom]

Yay that you learned Buddy's real name - MILO! - and that he found his home. I agree with Phred that hopefully his people will add information to his tag. I hope he gets to visit Tehya again, because he is a very handsome guy! Glacier, you're wonderful.

I hope Stuart is all right, too! I've seen the Bobcats around here - there is a trend of taking down little old houses in the best neighborhoods, and building huge mega-houses on the lot ... teardowns ... and the builders use Bobcats to shuttle around the lot when a bigger vehicle won't work ... they're narrow. I hope he's A-OK!
