Man, That Is Very Good

Just waiting for Allie to show up, as I take an early lunch from work and go for her first pre-natal doctor visit.

So, we rescued a dog yesterday. Picture to follow. Heading east on the Yellowhead, just before the Victoria Trail exit, Allie spots a dirty poodle wandering on the side of the road. There is a chainlink fence separating the houses fromt the busy highway, and the dog was on the wrong side of it. We pulled over, I grabbed it, and man, was it terrified.

We got it intot he car, and saw that it was very old, dusty and dirty, and had cataracts, so if it isn't totally blind, it can't see very well. The way it didn't react to me coming to it makes me think he was deaf, too.

SO, we brought him to our friends, fellow cat rescuers, and deciphered the dog's tattoo, made some calls, and miraculously, contacted the owner.

Mike the apricot poodle (yes, his name is Mike) had only been missing an hour, but his owners were very worried, and his sheepdog pal was so depressed he wouldn't leave the house to go help look for him. Happy owner and happier poodle were reunited in an hour or so.

We can't even leave the house anymore...maybe we'll stay in.

Actually, that doesn't work either..Mia, Moses and a few others came right to our door in recent years..*sigh*..it's our lot in life.
