We couldn't find the dog and knew it would freeze to death. What a sickening feeling, and then, later that evening came a knock at the door. A neighbour who we had never seen before was standing there with our precious doggie wrapped up in a warm blanket and asked if this was our dog. They went door to door looking for the owner. I will never forget that and will always be grateful to that wonderful Samaritan.Cotton Pickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17190106161605355830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563574496667363286.post-62817145796303537592008-03-14T18:08:00.000-07:002008-03-14T18:08:00.000-07:00Hi Robyn, you don't know me but i am Mark's wife. ...Hi Robyn, you don't know me but i am Mark's wife. Just read your post about your dog Glacier. Your story reminded me of when we had a long-haired Golden Retriever that we adopted from a couple who were moving interstate. We were told she was 9 years old but when she was brought to us she was really 13years old and very arthritic. We only had her a month when Mark left the side gate open overnight. I got up in the morning to find the gate open & no Sasha! Of course I called up and down the street calling for her, rang animal shelters and the local council to see if anyone had picked her up. No one had any news. We could not understand where she could have gone because she was a slow mover with her arthritis. After about two days missing i got a call from the local council to say someone had found a Retriever and gave me the work number. Sasha was only three doors but across the road from us! It turned out she was on their front verandah the morning she went missing. The lady had a Newfoundland dog and Sasha was happy to stay with her. We had been to her house to ask if they had seen a dog but they were never there when we called. Like you we had a happy ending. Sasha had another 18mths with us and died at the good old age of 15 going on 16years. The vet said this was a very great age for a Retriver.Joyful Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02120278098833278432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563574496667363286.post-83806656313852050082008-03-13T22:09:00.000-07:002008-03-13T22:09:00.000-07:00Stressful story.

Maybe it's not weirdness, just creative. Actually Nathan loves animals. He told me that he wants to be a Vet when he grows up. I too am glad everything worked out ok. I am also glad no one broke into your house while it was wide open!. That would be such a violation. Give Glacier hugs and doggie kisses for me, he is such a georgous boy!.Cecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04782993667905723482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563574496667363286.post-65484391193780662872008-03-13T17:38:00.000-07:002008-03-13T17:38:00.000-07:00I also love "Robyn!"

I feed the ferals in Natomas every day. 25 miles. I came back from the park this morning and like every other morning I drove around looking for Ireland. Today is the 2 month anniversary since that dreadful day. I look where I always think he might be because of all the trees and today I stopped the car, got out, looked and then just sobbed. I arrived home, Rob saw me and was scared. I explained through more sobs and he said "Honey, I can't understand a single word you're saying." I tried to repeat myself, but I know it was no better than the first time, but he heard the word "Ireland," grabbed and hugged me so hard and whispered into my ear "He's going to be okay."<BR/><BR/>I know you love animals as I do and I know losing Glacier would have killed you. I'm grateful your story had a happy ending and that you have wonderful neighbors who care and pay attention. And that cops are willing to go into a dark back yard with a slider open and check things out, so that everyone is safe. The Gods were with you, Jim and Glacier my dear friend. Thank your lucky stars. I envy you terribly. <BR/><BR/>I'm also very glad you didn't get angry with Jim. As Inner Voices pointed out, the blame should be evenly distributed, but I understand how sometimes you just want to lash out. I love that you included that. You are such an honest and great lady. I mean that with all my heart. <BR/><BR/>I'll end on a good note. T-Bone doesn't like being left in the back yard alone. He rarely is. One day I put him out to pee because I was busy and forgot he was there! I thought he was sleeping. Then I remembered and went to get him. He didn't come when I called, so I was worried. I looked all over and nothing. I went to the side yard and saw the gate open. The SMUD guy had shown up earlier to read the meter and left the gate open. I ran in, got Rob and we hurried to find T-Bone. We started walking down the street calling his name, only to see him sitting at the front door! Yup, that's T-Bone. He knows a good thing and he isn't leaving! The gate was left open one other time and the exact same thing happened. The boy isn't going anywhere. Thank God! <BR/><BR/>I love you and I'm so glad everyone is safe, happy and can exhale. You're all very fortunate. We'll have to get together soon. It'll have to wait until Rob takes the Florida Bar because right now life is just too crazy around here. I get to blog only because I have to settle the kitties down. No, I'm not kidding! If I sit, they go to sleep. If not, they're always trying to impress me! It's insane.<BR/><BR/>Love you baby. Last night at Brians was way too funny! Then he showed up and everyone scrammed like the cafe was on fire! Of course I'm laughing. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and Leah left the most beautiful comment for me on your last post. I hope you have a chance to read it. And Leah, if you got this far, thank you sweetie. I will always remember that one. <BR/><BR/>Roybn, we're all lucky you know. I still can't believe we all found one another. <BR/><BR/>Love to you, Jim, doggie-poo and kitties too!<BR/> <BR/>Suze XO ;)Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111045716713716292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563574496667363286.post-30520571311651201252008-03-13T12:04:00.000-07:002008-03-13T12:04:00.000-07:00I'll never forget the horrified look on my 14 year...I'll never forget the horrified look on my 14 year old boys face as he carried our dog from the street. The dog was always bolting as soon as the door opened but that time, he didn't make it. I was sad about Lucy but more torn up that my son had found him. UGH! It's been a few years and now we have 2 lovey lap dogs but every now and then one of the kids will say, "I miss Lucy..." So glad your Glacier is ok. Blessings...
