Ok... so while my vacation was wonderful, upon my return I was informed that my neighbor's puppy, Steady (Sugar's cousin and playmate) was MIA. After 6 days of searching, tortured dreading, offering rewards - he is officially home!
Russell got a call this afternoon that someone thought they saw his dog about 3 miles away from us. So he and I hopped in the truck and went wading around in the muck on this property with these crazed looking penned up pit bulls barking at us, we were calling and whistling with no luck.
After awhile we decided we would drive around the block looking. As we were nearly at the end of our tour around the block I saw a black dog laying on a door step and got the gut feeling. When he retells the story... apparently I dramatically threw my arms out to my sides and shouted to Rus to "Stop the car! Stop the car now! Back up! Back up! Back up!" I rolled down my window and shouted "Steady, and up he jumped and came trotting towards us like he was just waiting for us to come around. We were out of the car in an instant and giggling like school girls with excitement giving Steady hugs and kisses galore!
Then he came back, ran around and played with Sugar for a a few minutes while we called to inform everyone of the good news! Now he is at home with his Daddy getting a bath, a good meal, and some much needed puppy naps.
