Say you find a collarless dog running along the side of the road one night. Would you . . .

A) Call the proper authorities--in this locale's case, the police--and let them handle it.
B) Take it to the vet/shelter/whatnot.
C) Take it camping.

The answer is apparently C.

Long story short: Zen and I had to go to a wedding in Harrisburg and figured it'd be okay to leave the dogs tied out overnight. Kabuki slipped her collar, ran off, and made friends--and we spent all day Saturday and half of today worried sick/mobilizing the neighbors/calling whatever powers-that-be we could get a hold of.

In the meantime, the square-headed crackho was off enjoying hot dogs on sticks. The guy who had her finally decided to call her in today.

*headwall*

At least I've learned that the local animal shelters are on the ball when it comes to searching for & helping find lost doggies. ~~But I still don't know if they have any adoptable goats.~~ Kudos for them! :)

	PHEW! So pleased you got her back. Sucks that you were worried for so long, but at least the moron didn't try to keep her. (Is she microchipped?) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yeah, she's chipped, and the one shelter I had a hold of was hooked up to all the local vets so if she'd ended up there I would've heard. I find myself wondering if he had a reason for waiting that long or if he was really deciding whether or not he wanted to keep her. Kabuki's gotten loose enough times that it's not like the local cops don't know her. :P (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Well, that's... Odd. Was the person just too dedicated to camping to postpone their plans but too much of an animal lover to leave your dog at the roadside or were they just plain crazy? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Occam's razor suggests the latter. :P (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Occam's razor is a handy tool, if not always correct. But at least "all's well that ends well" they say. Of course, they also say "If you're too sharp, you'll cut yourself" and the "the ends justify the means" (which really sounds like all's well that ends well), so you can't trust THEM at all. I recommend only trusting me. (Reply to this) (Parent)
