A Pupdate!

[paragraphs]

The little Yorkie's owners have been found! A very tearful and excited woman called me just a bit ago, and described the pup's collar perfectly. Her name is Chloe. The pup's, that is, not the woman's. Her name is Norma.

The family had just come home from a holiday-weekend (which is why Chloe smelled so good--they'd given her a bath just before going). The granddaughter had Chloe and was supposed to bring her inside while everyone else unpacked the car.

An hour or so later, grandmother asked her grandaughter, "Honey, where is Chloe?"

"She was heavy, I put her down."

Oops. Given the dog weighs 4 lbs. tops, the granddaughter must be pretty small herself.

Two days now they've been going nuts--they put up flyers but not, apparently, where we did. Whoops! She hadn't travelled far, but Tiff thought she was trotting down McCart...she was, but apparently had come to some point and turned back.

I'll call the family when I get home, and they can come and get their pupster. And yes, I told her, "My daughter took her to the vet's to look for a microchip but there wasn't one. Or tags." (Said pointedly, but kindly).

Maybe they will at least get her tags. Poor pup! Poor granddaughter who has been crying and beside herself for two days.

A happy ending to this tail tale for all.

(And my daughter is enormously relieved the little yapper will be gone when she gets home. LOL.)

So how did you end up finding the family? Was it through the groomer's?

No, Tiff posted FOUND! signs all over. I need to go take them down now. Don't need jerks calling the numbers. LOL.

They'd put up signs too--we just put signs up in different places!

edited for saying sounds instead of signs. Dork me.

Yeah, I read that but it doesn't answer the question. You're saying that you both put signs up in different places, implying that it was a futile attempt on both ends. Are you saying that one of the family went to where you put signs up and saw it?

Oh oh oh! Tiff put hers up after they did, and that was last night, and they were driving down McCart and saw the FOUND in bright red so pulled over and sure enough, that was their puppy! So yes, in different places, but happily they drove by one of ours and saw it. Phew!
