Bittersweet

I took "Jet" to the nearby veterinary clinic. They scanned her looking for an imbedded microchip. The result? We have good news: Jet is actually Roxy and, believe it or not, a patient of this particular clinic! They put in calls to her owners and will keep her until the owners are able to pick her up.

Munchie-Boy, however, was quite distraught as he and Roxy had developed a deep bond. Funny, Roxy didn't want us to leave as she kept leaning into my son's body as if saying "please, don't go!" My son broke down into a flood of tears. Seeing that broke my heart.

We've got to get this boy a dog to call his own!

Guess Who Showed Up For Breakfast

And lunch, and dinner? Why this sweet creature:

Unfortunately her collar has no registration or ID. I put in calls to the local animal shelter and to Animal Control so they would be aware that I have a beautiful black lab if anyone reports one missing. I even posted signs at every entrance/exit of my neighborhood. The signs have since been torn down. Can you believe that? Sometimes I really hate my neighborhood: apparantly the signs were "unbecoming" to the aesthetics of the community. Oh give me a break. I'm trying to reunite this adorable dog with her rightful owners.

I do have one problem, though...the kids have already named her "Jet".
