Incredible Adventures

[madshutterbug]

You know, two-legged people are mostly pretty nice. I mean, there was this big storm which kinda scared me, and I went looking for Boss. But, he wasn't where he usually is, so I started checking other places for him. Somehow, I lost track of where I'd gone looking, and all the houses were way close together. I think I found the place Mama Munch calls Archer, but I could still smell a little bit of trail, so I followed that. Only, it got weaker when I went past a sign that said "Gainesville 11 miles". There were lots of the four-rubber-footed beasts running by, but Boss told me not to chase those because they are pretty stupid and would run over me. He's right, they're mostly pretty stupid.

But one of them stopped, and a two-legged person got off of it, and offered me a ride to Doc Harbin's place. Since I'd lost track of Boss's scent and this one smelled pretty friendly, I went with em, and Doc Harbin called Mrs. Boss, and now Mrs. Boss called Boss. I know she called him, 'cause I could hear him but I couldn't see him. Really strange. He said he was "at work" and would see me soon, and he was real glad I'm OK. I'm glad he's OK too.

So Doc Harbin's gonna check me out, and help me get rid of some ticks by my ears, then Mrs. Boss is going to take me back to the Ranch. She says Boss will be there shortly. I hope so; I've got to lick his face a lot.

I hope Mama Munch isn't too mad at me.

Oh, fantastic! *whew*!

I'm so relieved you found him and that a Good Person picked him up and took him to your vet.

Not that she's a "runner", but I have Jett (my Aussie) chipped & registered. She has a dog tag with our immediate contact info for after-hours and the required county vaccination tag #, which only helps M-F, 9-5pm. We adopted Jett from county animal control last year after I was going to foster her to nurse her back to health (she was ten pounds underweight and starving) and I ended up not being able to part with her. At approx. five years old, she's already been abandoned twice by previous owners. Never, ever again is she going to end up homeless.

So heartbreaking to lose a pet; glad Houdini's ok and this had a happy ending.

I've got a collar but no tags on it. Maybe I should ask Boss for a tag?

If you get a chip, it can't get torn off in underbrush. No fun to get the chip implanted, but it's fast.

oooohhhh!

You know Boss?

Re: okay....

[wedschilde.livejournal.com]

heh... well not personally like dishing up a tamale pie slice into a plate but well enough to know missing dogs worry the hell out of him.

Re: okay....

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

Cool. What's a tamale pie? I got worried too because I couldn't find him. I need to lick his face soon!

Re: okay....

[wedschilde.livejournal.com]

I like chasing no-see-ums. Pigs are nearly as much fun.

Re: okay....

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

Hose! Need to play Hose! Yes!

[wedschilde.livejournal.com]

Dude! Yeah!

Mrs. Boss says I need a bath.

[janetmiles.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you're home safe, Dude. I was worried on your behalf, and for your Boss. He sounded pretty upset that you were gone.

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

He feels better now that I've licked his face some. So do I.

My cat wants to know why I'm crying, since I'm just sitting here with my computer. I explained to her that sometimes two-legs cry when they're happy. She said that two-leggeds are weird and went off to find a spot of sun.

Welcome home, Houdini!

*licks face* Mmm, salty!

This is good news! I'm glad someone's week is improving.

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

Well, it wasn't a bad week, 'cause I got to see some interesting things and meet some nice people. Though there was the one person... nah, just won't go to their place again. It is good to be home. The meals are a lot more regular.




Oh, you mean Boss's week! *wags tail*
