Little Stinker

Caleb, Reed, and I spent a very busy Saturday in the backyard cleaning, raking, blowing off, moving plants, painting, working on the pool, etc.  Somehow in all the confusion, the gate was left open and Gus escaped.  Gus never leaves the yard!  (Maybelle on the other hand tries to make a run for it every chance she gets!)  We called, rode around and looked, and called some more!  We have had very bad luck in the past with our dogs just disappearing, so I was worried sick!  Our babies are very spoiled, and I wanted him back home.  Happily, after supper he appeared on the doorstep.  A little while later, I spotted this note and picture on facebook that was posted by a sweet neighbor -

This dog has been at my house all day very friendly just wondering if he has a home?




Well, we had driven by their house several times while looking for him, and we live close enough that I know he could hear us calling!  Also, Reed said he was quite certain Gus would come running when he heard his truck.  He obviously was having a ball on his little adventure, and must have hidden whenever he heard the truck come by!  I am so glad that he is back, and glad that he chose a nice neighbor's house to hang out with! 

And just in case you were wondering about our beautiful Maybelle.  She only ventured across the street and watched us from another neighbor's driveway.  She would wag her tail at us, but would also not come home for several hours. She would run whenever we got near!  She was never out of eyesight though.  Both are right back where they belong now!
