Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2004Puurs for a lost dog
It's 11 at night here. There's a raging thunderstorm outside. It's Nathan's birthday - the front door bell went as the parents of one of Nathan's mates turned up to collect her son. It is *evil* out there. Cue one very wet, very cold, very bewildered dog on my doorstep! The dog has a name tag on - with a phone number. The area code is *Plymouth* - a couple of hundred miles from here! I currently have one drying, warming, silent, traumatised old lady dog lying on the floor of my office. Purrs please??? *please* helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove fame & fortune h*$el*$$e*nd**$o$ts**i*$*$m*m$o*n*s@$*a$o*l.c**$om$ --Due to financial crisis the light at the end of the tunnel is switched off-- > It's 11 at night here.

Thanks Margaret - the poor thing is on the floor, exhausted, hardly moving, but I've got her to take a bit of meat-based cat food - I don't have any dog food in the house! I've rung the number on the ID tag - answerphone... I've rung the police in case someone is in the area on holiday and has reported losing thir dog - the police round here leave an answerphone on.... I've rung the dog warden - he doesn't work at night.... Looks like I've got an overnight visitor.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > I've got her to take a bit of meat-based cat food - I don't have any dog food > in the house! Catfood has too much meat for dogs, even tho they usually do like it. You may want to boil some potaotes and/or rice and mash it together with the catfood. Just to be on the safe side, don't use any cereals or catfood containing fish as some doggies can be allergic. Potato, rice and a meaty catfood should be OK. If you have any to spare, you could add a little cottage cheese or even plain yoghurt.

Loads of calming purrs for the poor old lady, I hope you find her owner tomorrow. *idea* The fact that she seemed to 'blow in' from Plymouth might be enough of a story to get her on the local radio tomorrow. Give them a ring and ask if they can help with publicity. :) Jeanette >*idea* The fact that she seemed to 'blow in' from Plymouth might be enough >of a story to get her on the local radio tomorrow.

Smart d*g to know who the most kindhearted hoomin in the area is :) Hope you can get in touch with her slaves soon as a familiar face (or smell maybe) would probably be the most soothing thing for her right now.

Please keep us posted. Christine Excellent news! Just reunited d*g with owner :-) It's some people staying nearby on a holiday. Apparently the dog got spooked by the weather last night. The owners were out last night looking for their dog, but didn't think the dog would get so far away from where they were staying. A very happy reunion involving lots of full-body tail-wagging occurred :-) Thanks for the purrs! helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove fame & fortune h*$el*$$e*nd**$o$ts**i*$*$m*m$o*n*s@$*a$o*l.c**$om$ --Due to financial crisis the light at the end of the tunnel is switched off-- Vernon's just answered a ring at the front door.

My parents took their dog with them to visit relatives several hundred miles from their home. The dog got out, and got lost. They had their home number on the tag. The people who rescued the dog called my parents' home. Fortunately, my brother-in-law was house-sitting for them, so he took the call and relayed the message to them, and they were reunited with their dog. Joy > Jolly good.

Did the people say how they found out you were hosting >fido? Nearby was about half-a-mile away. The family are due to travel back to Plymouth today. Seems this morning they rang a family member down there to go to the house to check if there was anything on the answerphone... there was, my message! So they rang us and came over. It's lovely, as they said today would have been *horrible* if they'd had to travel without the dog. Seems that back at home, if there's a thunderstorm, the dog hides under something, as she is terrified. Last night, she bolted to a door as it was being opened. Probably the change of location just tipped her over onto a total panic. Still - all's well that ends well :-) Cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove fame & fortune h*$el*$$e*nd**$o$ts**i*$*$m*m$o*n*s@$*a$o*l.c**$om$ --Due to financial crisis the light at the end of the tunnel is switched off-- Good news!

I still can not imagine how she managed to find the front yard much less get any further. She was nearly blind. She managed to get to the intersection at the end of the street where kind strangers took her to animal control. And where we found her a few hours later. Still can't imagine how she did this for the first time in her life at 16 years old. And still very grateful that someone bothered to protect her. Jo Yay! I do so love a happy ending!
