Part 3

I don't have any pictures to go with this post but this is a good story, trust me.  So in between picking up the donkeys in the morning and the goats in the afternoon we went looking for our missing dog.
This is how the story goes...this morning when we went outside and calling for our dog, he didn't come to us.  He was nowhere to be found!  We looked around the property thinking maybe he was hurt or got stuck somewhere so hubby hopped on the four-wheeler and drove around the farm to look for him.  We could not find him anywhere.  So at this point we were thinking oh well, he must have been eaten by coyotes or something, I guess we will have to just go get another dog.  After all, there's an animal shelter on every corner, right?

On our way to pick up our donkeys, hubby got a phone call.  Someone actually found our dog, he was calling from a local GA (General Aviation) airport about 20 miles from where we live.  How in the world did that dog get there?  We had no idea!  Anyway, we told the guy from the airport that we were out and about and couldn't go pick up the dog right away but we would give him a call when we were on our way to pick up the dog.  In a perfect world this would have been the end of the story, happy ending, that's it, done!  But no, that can't be the end, there's got to be more!  So we were driving home from picking up the donkeys, we got another phone call from the airport guy.  He said one of his co-workers took our dog home so the dog could have a place to stay until we could go pick him up.  Again, in a perfect world the story would have ended right here!  The dog stays put, we go pick him up, done!  No, it can't stop here!  The dog was in the co-worker's backyard and he jumped a 6-ft fence and escaped, again!  Oh my gosh!  What is wrong with this dog?!  Why can't he just be normal?!  Why can't he just stay and wait for us to pick him up?!

So we contacted this co-worker lady who was kind enough to take our dog in (for a very brief moment) before the dang dog escaped.  She told us where she lived so we drove to the subdivision where she lived and started looking for the dog.  Of course, no luck, who knows where he's gonna go next?!  We talked to a couple of kids playing on the street and they said they saw the dog but didn't know where he went.  We talked to the mailman and he saw the dog and he told us where he last saw him.  He saw him last at the elementary school close by, and the dog actually attempted to get in his mail truck.  So we drove by the elementary school and I went in and talked to the ladies at the front desk.  Guess what, they all saw the dog earlier and he was playing in the playground, playing with the kids and everything!  So we drove around the streets around the school and still no sign of the dog!   Our dog is now famous, everyone in that neighborhood knows or has seen him, and know how he's been traveling around the world and doing his own thang!

As of right now, he is still MIA, but we left our phone numbers with people so I'm sure someone will eventually call us and let us know they found our dog.

I will keep everyone posted!
