Yes, I can happily say I will sleep VERY well tonight knowing that Tallie and Trigger are back home. They were found by a neighbor on the other end of a cul-de-sac from the Hendler's. I KNOW they haven't been there this whole time, because I searched in that area several times. I was in my robe after a shower when this man knocked on the front door. I ran, threw some clothes on, and answered the door out of breath. He asked if we were missing any blue heelers, to which I replied, "No, but we are missing two Australian Shepherds as of last night. He said, "Well, I think they are on my back porch." I was so thankful, I know I sounded like such a redneck, "Aw, shucks, thanks mister" was pretty much the equivalent of my response, but I was honestly dumbstruck, shocked and just SO relieved. So, I took BJ's truck so I could get them in the back and drove to the guys house. Sure enough, there they were...stinking to high heaven of skunk and a little worse for the wear, but overall fine. They were loaded up, and brought home where they were kindly escorted back to their run where they will stay! Tallie has a raw spot on her paw and is limping a bit, but she'll be fine. I love those dogs, but I could have shot them today when I found them. Good thing my dad wasn't here!

YAY! I was praying that you'd find them. I know the events of the last 24 hours have had you on an emotional roller coaster. I'm so happy they are home. Tell those pups what I tell Gabby and Gracie..."There's NO PLACE like HOME!"
ReplyDeleteWhat great advice for wander-lust dogs such as these! I got your message but have been exhausted and busy this afternoon. I am headed to Austin for a cousin's wedding. I am so ready. I am packing tonight so I can leave straight from school. I bought a very cute outfit..dress, shoes and earrings (and new strapless bra) Tuesday after school. I think 'twill be VERY cute...too bad my hubby won't be there with me. I will take pics!
ReplyDeleteI'm so so glad to hear the end of the story! Technology isn't so good out here...no cell phone reception and no call waiting! No more crying, okay? Keep those suckers penned up!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCrazy dogs! Desi, Lucy, and the dog we're dog sitting for a month, Bennett, took themselves on 3 adventures before I finally figured out that Lucy was beginning the adventures by opening the gate with her nose!!!!
