Nothin’ profound here…

March 22nd, 2009 at 01:57pm Lou

Good morning everyone. I have nothing profound in my brain at the moment, so I’m going to tell you the saga of my found puppy.

Last Wednesday evening, I was walking in my neighborhood with my two Rat Terriers when I saw a small black object about two or three blocks away running (in the street). When I got to the place where I had seen this small, black runner, I saw it again. It turned out to be a small black and white dog obviously lost. It wouldn’t come to me or follow me because of my dogs who were larger than it (almost anything would be) and agressively interested.

So I walk back to my house, deposit my dogs, climb into my truck to go to the grocery store and to look for the dog. I didn’t see it, but when I pulled into a side driveway to go to the store, there it was running from the park next to the store. I stopped the truck, got out, and called it. It came right to me. My initial thought was that it didn’t seem as big as the one I had seen in my neighborhood, but that thought soon passed.

She did not have a collar or any other means of identification. Adorable was the first thought that crossed my mind. She stayed the truck while I went to the store and rode back home as well-behaved as could be. As you know, I named her Gypsy. She’s very well-behaved in the house and has had only one accident. Bowie is now trying to play with her, but he’s bigger and a bit rough so it’s not going as well as he would like but Gypsy is holding her own.

I put up Found notices that night in and near the store plus in my neighborhood. No one has yet contacted me*. I put an ad in the local paper, but it won’t appear until next Wednesday (the paper is twice a week). So I’ve been checking the classifieds in the Sacramento paper and came across an ad this Sunday morning stating that a small black and white male dog had been found in the same vicinity as I found Gypsy. I called the number and talked to a gentleman with the appropriate name of Angel. He stated that Wednesday night, his wife had been driving home when she saw this small black and white dog run across a busy street (the one the grocery store is on). She stopped and called the dog, and it ran right to her truck and jumped in. He said that the dog had a leash and collar but no tags. He and his wife have put up Found notices where they found him (which was about an eight of a mile from where I found Gypsy) and have placed ads in the paper. He also said that the male was well-behaved.

So it appears that there were two dogs that were lost, and they got separated from each other. (I wonder if the first dog I saw was the male?) From the description, I would assume that they were litter mates. Angel said that he and his wife have three Pomeranians and probably won’t keep the male but will find him a good home if no one calls (they already have a candidate). I, on the other hand, am leaning towards keeping her if no one calls. The last thing I need is another dog, but she’s soooo cute and such a good little dog that. . . .
