Rex is home
|
|
While I was at work Saturday morning my dog ran off. I am sure I will never hear the whole story on the reason but it is probably close to the usual story of not paying attention to them and he did not show up at the back door ten minutes later when they remembered. Have been burning up the roads, called the vet, looked at the local pound and walked a bunch looking for him. Girls took his collar off a couple weeks ago and put it on the other dog for a joke so he has no identification. hopefully someone takes him to a vet since he is chipped. The way I feel right now if I don't get him back I will never buy another hunting dog. Am about sick that I cannot find him. Wife and kids are going to make signs tomorrow and get them up and put an add in the local paper.
If you know anyone in the kearney area tell them to keep an eye out for a 65lb black lab male.

Damn , Tom , that is really bad news. I pray you get him back. You know how I feel about the loss of a good dog. Wish I could do more to help , but you and your family are in our thoughts.
God Bless , Royce

Thanks Bubba I did talk to a bunch of folks tonight and Tuesday I guess I will just start knocking on doors if we don't hear anything. Have put an add on Craigslist and am praying for a miracle. Hope someone just locked him up for the weekend not thinking the vets office was open and takes him somewhere on Monday. He has only one master but is a friend to all. will get in a vehicle or go into a house and lay down like he has been there all the time.

Sorry to hear that Tom - I am out of town this week or I would work the area. Stop in the fire station as that is close...they have lots of contacts up there and would be a good group to know about.

Damn Tom, that sucks.....ask the PD as well.
Somebody has that dog for sure....quit spending your time looking and devote it all to information about him and how to get ahold of you.
Good luck....man, I'm so not prepared for ever losing my hound in any fashion.

Tom,
I sure do hope you get lucky and somebody does the right thing and take him to a vet for ID. Like the other fellers on hera, I am really wanting for your dog to turn up.

Thank you my friends we are being positive and hopeful. The wife is more upset about it than me. Got the signs up today, took out adds in the paper, put up flyers at all the local places that would let her and called no less than 30 vet places and all the dog snatchers.

Re: It has been two days

Well the wife went to put a new flyer up at the vet's office in town and there was our dog in the waiting room. A lady had kept him in her house since Saturday and finally felt bad since she knew he was a family dog and took him to the vet's office. Rex went wild when the wife and youngest walked in. Lucky for us the lady and her family had a change of heart that is how close it came to never seeing him again. Thanks to all of you for your well wishes, hopes, words of encouragement and prayers. It was definitely uplifting to get the call at work and then be able to have him waiting at the door when I got home.
