My run from home.....

My family loves me so much...... But on June 6, 2008 , I saw my front door open while mom and her friend were moving some big glass thing they called an aquarium. ( She needed to get rid of it anyway...dogs are better than fish) But back to my story! I saw the open outside and it was screaming my name, so out I ventured, same block but this time seemed more tempting, I WAS ON THE RUN....YEAH!!!!!

It took mom, so she said, about a half hour to miss me. She said the rest of the night she yelled my name and looked for me blocks around the nighborhood. At dark she came in, it was very late and she was so worried about me being out by myself ,she left the back gate open just in case I came home. Well, Ididn't. The very next moring she called the animal shelter to see if I had been turned in, and the answer was no. She said she had my name put on the lost dog bulletin, and went down 2 times a week looking for me. Calling everyday and not finding me was tearing her heart up. She had put ads in papers, on tv and even bought things to make posters to hang up. But I was on the run.

The best she thought was that some one had picked me up and was hopefully giving me a good home. She prayed I would come home safe , but if not I was being loved. But just in case, she left the back gate open every night.

Well I ran for 2 weeks but I didnt find my way home , I decided I would go to my Nanas...she lives about a mile away, but I sniffed my way there. It was very early in the morning, about 5:30 am I do belive, but I wanted to go home. So I scratched and barked at the door till she got out of bed and answed the door! Yup it was Nana and she was so happy to me! Boy was I happy to see a familiar face.!! Nana said she had to call mom, and mom fell to her knees when she got the news! She said she thought I was gone for good , SURPRISE.....IT'S CHOMPER!!! I was home.....my Aunt Dede took me home and I got so many hugs and kisses that day. I knew I belonged there and never want to leave again.....well maybe for a check on the neighborhood once in a while. And guess what Rosie and Pete were actually glad to have home, well Pete wasnt real happy, he had to give The Dog position up after having having it for one day!

I learned how much those few weeks I was gone, that I have a family....a family that loves me and thinks Im the dog. So to all of my buds out there who think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence......it's not. You're loved...and lucky....most of us dont have this kinda life. Im just happy to have my family back again, my whole outlook has changed, mom said she notices a huge difference in me. Well yeah....Im home mom! I love you too!!!!!

...................PEACE,

THE CHOMPS.....
