Our neighbor just called to say that two local dogs have wandered into her yard. One looks a bit like an all-white St. Bernard, the other like a black-and-white cattle dog. Both are friendly; one looks like it may have broken loose from a leash (perhaps thunder-frightened?). If these sound like your dogs, please drop me a line (email address is in the sidebar at right), or comment on this post. Either way, I'll put you in touch with my neighbor.
These two doggies just want to go home...
Update: The two doggies have been reunited with their owners. The way it happened is a great story of neighborhood.
My neighbor who found the dogs got the phone number for Paula C. from me. Paula lives just down the road from us, and operates a kennel and dog training facility. She's also a long-time resident of Lawson Valley, and knows just about everybody here (and most especially she knows their dogs). Unfortunately, Paula didn't know these two doggies. Paula called everyone she knew, but none of them knew of these two dogs either. This was shaping up to be a story with a sad ending...
Fast forward a few hours. Paula was at her gate, shoveling the rainstorm's mud out from underneath her gate, so she could open it and leave. While she was working, a car drove slowly by, and the driver hollered to ask her whether she'd seen a couple of lost dogs - a big white one, and a small black-and-white one. Paula sent them up the hill to see my neighbor, who still had the dogs – and the dogs were reunited with their worried owners.
Turns out the owners live about a mile away. They weren't home when the dogs got loose, but the thunderstorm happened during that period, so I'm thinking my guess was a good one...
I love happy endings like that!
