Yeah!!

My feel-good story for the day : )
I was finishing painting the pantry doors from the kitchen outside in the garage today and had the door partway open to speed the drying process. And when i went to check on progress of coat #2, much to my surprise there was a fluffy little white dog in my garage. Scared the *(&( out of me initially- wasn't really expecting anything to be moving about in the garage. But turned out to be very, very friendly and clearly lost. So, I corraled it in the side of my house (there is a gate front and back, so was easy to contain her). Then took pictures, made signs, wandered around the neighborhood asking people. Nobody knew anything. Well, I ended up taking the dog to my vet, they checked for a microchip- none. The vet kept the dog until the SPCA opens again (not until Tuesday!). But, a few minutes ago a very frantic and now quite relieved woman called me - and it is her dog (Myla)! It escaped today while her husband was trying to paint the house and kids coming and going. So- yeah- for the first time ever one of the animals that shows up on my door actually does have a home to go to!! Made my evening to get that call, I felt so sad leaving it at the vet's earlier since she was so very sweet. And, I'm going to take my other 2 cats in and get them microchipped in the next couple weeks. I don't ever want to have to be on the "lost pet" end of things. T.
