hi joyce, yes, i'm so grateful that patches is back safe and sound. as a committed dog owner, u'd worry no matter how young or old ur pet is. i left photos with the developer's office, vets, dog pound, etc. no, u don't sound like u're losing ur mind. just very worried. i would be too in ur position and i was... will be praying for u to get roger back. on another note, the brown dog (we temporarily named him duvak after that vulcan character in star trek) has been claimed by a woman and her two children. bumped into them when i took my dogs out for walk last evening and duvak happily trailed us. the dog obviously recognised them but i have misgivings after i relinquished control of him. none of them even touched him the entire time we compared notes about him! i can't imagine not wanting to hug my dog if i'd been so worried about him! they said he's very naughty, always running out when the door is open, and returning only at night. when he didn't show for a couple of days (they weren't even sure how long he'd been missing!), the mother thot he might have been stolen "like our earlier dog". she said she did try looking for him by driving ard with her son. but no, no posters anywhr and certainly they never asked at the two vets near our area. i told them he was thoroughly infested with ticks when i found him and i'd sent him to be cleaned up. the lady could only say thank u. she quickly put him in her car while i continued to talk with her children. she did not offer to pay me for the vet or even ask where i stay. the dog is cute and we'd spent most of saturday picking out each and every dried tick off his body... by the time, i was through talking with the woman, i was drained - emotionally. not that i'd already formed a strong bond with him but i wasn't sure he was going to be given much care or love. some ppl just don't get what owning dog means... if i didn't already have 3 dogs, i'd fight her for him! i'm now thinking of reporting her to spca - but after i find out exactly where she stays! sorry if i sound so 'geram' cos i am!
