Lost Dog

Today I checked my email and there was one waiting from my Mom. She has been checking out the Austin Animal Shelters website on a daily basis keeping an eye out for Spike. Yesterday there was a dog found that matched the description of my dog. For about an hour today I had the hope of getting my dog back. It felt good. Of course when I get there, it is not my dog. I made a double walk through of the shelter checking and double checking in case they had not posted it to the web site. I also checked the lost book to make sure my post was still in there and checked the found file cabinet, still no go. At least I had hope for a little while, and of course if she send me another email I will go back. I would like to thank my Mom for checking on him so regularly, also my Sister for keeping my Mom and I sane through this.

A lot of people tell me maybe he is in a good home. I don't see how it could be a good home. He had a harness on him, those things are hard to get off. If he just had a collar on him I could see maybe it coming off and someone finding a dog and keeping it. A harness doesn't come off unless a person takes it off. So if some one found him and kept him, they are not providing a good home, they are simply stealing a dog. Enough of my rant
