Dogs...

Within the last 5 years, I have had 2 dogs come up missing. Well actually...they were stolen. December 3, 2005, my Sassy dog (part pekingnese, part chihuahua) was taken out of our backyard during the Christmas parade. Almost 1 year later at the end of November 2006, she was found! Thank goodness she had been taken care of. When I moved into my apartment 2 months later, I had to get rid of one of my dogs. I kept Prissy with me, but Sassy went to a better home. My dad & Irene took her. They have taken care of that dog better than I ever could have. She was having heartworm problems & was about to die & they paid for her to have surgery so she could still be with us. Last week, she ended up having to have surgery again...can't exactly remember what Irene said it was for...anyways, she is doing great. I don't get to see her much but I miss her!

Last week, our full blooded black lab went missing. I knew he was there Monday night & Tuesday morning. Well we got to looking for him & wondering where he was. We had a neighbor who was pretty much trying to take care of him. We would feed Remington, then minutes later, he would feed Remington. Well he moved last week, so I asked my aunt that next time she talked to him, would she ask him if he had seen him before he left. Come to find out he STOLE our dog!!! Needless to say he brought him back Friday night! Natalee loves Remy. As soon as we got home & she saw him, she wanted to give me "sugars" & love on him! We brought him inside for a little while so she could play with him.

Why would anyone want to steal someone else's dog, especially when you know that people & know they are taking care of him? Why would someone want to take a dog away from such a precious child?

I'll post pics later!
