There is a vet office right next to Mommy's store where I escaped from the yard. This afternoon, a man called the vet office and said that he had found an orange color Pom. The vet told him to bring the dog in. His wife then came over to tell Mommy that someone found a Pom and is bringing him in and Mommy's heart fell out of her chest. Since she already had her hope up once with the scam, she did not want to be disappointed again.
Mommy and Kiki then sat looking out the front window waiting for the man to come. As a car pulled into the parking lot next door, Mommy can see my face looking out the car's window. She came running out into the parking lot screaming. The man opened the car door and I was sitting on his lap. Mommy reached inside the car to hold me and hugged the man when he was still sitting in the car. Good thing his wife was not there. BOL
The man told mom that he found me on the street about 1 mile from where I was lost and that I had no collar on. I have been staying with him, his wife and their German Shepherd. He said that I was a joy (but of course) to be with. He called the shelters and vet offices today and this office told him about me. Mommy offered to give him some money but he refused to take it. We have his phone number and plans to call him tomorrow and if possible, bring him and his wife some gifts.
The strange thing is why I did not have my collar on and was so far from my lost place. I am a big chicken and would never in a million year cross the street by myself. Mommy tried to cross the street with me a few times before but I always got scared and would run back into the sidewalk. She had to pick me up and carry me across the street every time. I would have had to cross many streets to get to where the man said he found me.
Also, if the collar fell out, it would have been where I snugged under the metal fence. Once I am already on the street, why would the collar slip out? My collar was not in the parking lot where I ran away and was not on me when I was found either. Mommy thinks that someone did take me, took my collar off and for some reasons decided to let me loose on the street. Maybe it's because I am such a picky eater and would not eat dog food. BOL. Mommy always cooked for me and furget it if you give me kibbles.
Afterward, mommy got Kiki and me microchipped. It only cost $40 each and oh so worth it. The collar can't be relied on so pawlease microchip your fur babies. They are too precious to us to risk losing.
Anyhow, what happened on my 2 1/2 days adventure will remain a mystery that only I know. I am in somewhat of a shock and have been hiding under the bed since I came back. Mommy is going to bring me out from under the bed and hold on to me with dearlife from now on.
Thank you so much everyone for you love, supports and prayers. Mommy can't tell you how hard it was the last 2 nights looking over and I am not there. She wondered what I had for dinner, where I slept but most of all, she wondered if she will ever see me again. We are very touch at how much love we received from our pals on Dogster. If we give back every dogster gifts I received Mommy would go bankrupt. He he. We love all our Dogster furiends and so happy that we belong to such a wonderful community of animal love.
Hugs, smooches and wags from Kobe
