this dang dog. She has escaped several times from my house, but I've found her each time. This time, she got out Wednesday morning sometime, and it's now Saturday. I've put up flyers. I've scoured the internet. I have friends looking out for her. It's been such a lonely week without my baby. It takes all I have not to just cry all day.
This just makes me wonder how parents can handle the loss of one of their children who are kidnapped and possibly never found. OMG I would die. like, seriously. This is awful.
Tonight is my mom's birthday. We are sitting around their kitchen table after eating dinner, and just starting to eat cake. I don't have my phone on me during dinner, but I grabbed it to take some pics and I noticed I had several facebook notifications. I check it quickly and, someone had tagged my name on a "found dog" post. and i search, and lo and behold, Dakota was found in where? In a neighboring city. That's 22 miles from my house. I immediately leave and race over to pick her up. She saw me and jumped straight in my car, but wouldn't 'talk' to me or anything. She was unsure of what was going on and leary. Her feet were not beat up from the long walk, and she wasn't hungry. I can only assume someone picked her up, drove her home, and she escaped their yard.
And the kicker? The people who found her, are friends with Cody and his brother. They were actually on their way to his brother's house when I showed up. And their house was about 1/4 of a mile from Cody's. Maybe she smelled my scent there and was searching for me?
