Tes has been found!

As I write this, a freshly bathed Tes is asleep at my feet. A family near the golf course about 3/4 of a mile from our house called to say they'd found her around 11 this morning. She was overjoyed to see Linton when he picked her up. Besides being utterly filthy, she seemed completely unharmed. Of only she could tell us of her adventure! My guess is that she managed to track down every discareded chicken bone and pizza crust along her crazy path.

We are so grateful for all the help and support we received while she was missing. My brother-in-law spent Friday afternoon helping us get signs posted. Other friends help us canvas the neighborhood this morning. Nancy Despeaux (who heads up a volunteer organization in the area that helps find lost dogs) spent much time on the phone and over email sharing her wealth of knowledge about how to find lost dogs. We are touched by the outpouring of support from her and other fellow dog owners we never even met. What a wonderful community we have!

  2. YES! This totally made my Sunday night to find out!!!

    Dogs want to come home - they just need to find their way.

    Congrats and don't let her out of your sight again!
