The other night, we thought we had lost our canine child, Angus. It was the worst night ever. We scoured the neighborhood until 3 am. It was so cold and we were walking between houses with flashlights, knowing that any minute, we'd be shot or arrested. We came home at 3, slept until 6, and I went back out at 6:30. About 9:15, Canine Companions called to say that a neighbor of ours had put Angus up for the night. He was walking his dogs and Angus played with them and followed them home. He fed him and let him sleep with his dogs that night. He said Angus looked familar to him so he took him (with his dogs) to daycare on Friday morning. We were never so happy to see Angus. This experience was so dreadful that we have decided to find a way to put a GPS lo-jack system on Maggie. (Just kidding). Ironically, Angus was able to - even on his adventure - be no stranger to comfort, while we nearly froze trying to find him. What a nice thing our neighbor did. And, yet another reason to be grateful this year!
