I never in a million years expected replies to my thread from earlier yesterday... but have been greatly touched by each one... so many of you to thank.. and I will.. on that thread later today when I have the "time" (which I will need).
For now I just wanted to give the best Doggie update in the world (for anyone who gives a flying f$##$ okay?)
So, we (husband and myself) are minorities in our neighborhood in many ways.. yes including raciaclly. (sp?) (but this has nothing to do with that so think broader terms here... I DO NOT want this to become some kind of racial KKK feasting thread!) and since moving here last Fall, little, minor incidents have occured to make us feel rather "unwanted." For one thing, people on our street don't value their animals (or thier children it seems) all that much, for both (children and animals alike... including babies) are seen running around in the middle of the street quite continuosly.
Basically though, these people, our neighbors, and myself and my husband are from completely different worlds and so fitting in here has been difficult.
We have so far had rocks and trash thrown in our yard on a daily basis (which has lessed lately thank goodness), I have been ogled with bonoculars by 10 year old boys, someone broke into our car (the first break in or crime of an sort on the entire block) and now, someone thought it would be funny to open the gate and let our dogs out. I
It may have been a funny joke for them but it certainly was a nightmare for us!
We spent hours (literally) searching for them but to no avail. Finally .. horrible thoughts started drifting in as the phone would ring, but it wasn't about the dogs.. we would come home,.. but they weren't there... OH the INSANITY of not knowing! We put up signs everywhere and my husband went to bed, while I got online and chatted with one of you from the board.
I couldn't stop thinking about all the horror stories I had read ... about how vicious and cruel people can be to animals and not feel any remorse. I thought, were my babies out there being tortured and screaming and crying? Were they calling out for their Mommy and wondering why I wasn't rescuing them?
My imagination was running absolutely WILD!
Well, at about 12:30am the phone rang so I went to answer. Somewhere in my heart I was thinking "maybe it is about the dogs." But of course, I was ready for disappointment as usual. So when I picked up the reciever some wierd guy was like: "Uhhh yea, uhh sorry to bother you and stuff but are you like missing like a dog and stuff?" And before I could say anything my emotions got the better of me and I erupted into a flood of tears. You know how when you are crying it is difficult to talk?
Well, I was crying so hard that it was nearly impossible!
I cried/screamed into the phone something along the lines of "YES, my dog yes oh god oh god you just don't know you just can't know I am so happy oh god" but I think to the guy on the other end it was more like "AHHHHHHHHHHH dog AHHHHHHHHHH god AHHHHHHHHH my dog."
Then I started screaming husband's name over and over until he woke up and came running out and between sobs (I was really really freaking out... it was a helluva scene) I cried, "they have a dog they found a dog ahhhhhhh they found a dog!"
So he gets on the phone and gets directions and says "let's go!" So, in our pajamas we go out the door and get into the car and then my husband realizes he didn't understand the street name, and that he didn't even reallly understand the directions!
He had been so excited that he hadn't paid very good attention OR gotten the phone number or anything.
So for over an hour we drove around aimlessly trying to make sense of the terrible directions he remembered.
Which way to turn at the Sonic... are you sure.. dammit dammit dammit!
Finally, in despair, we came home. The people had not called back yet and we don't have caller ID so we decided to *69 them. It was busy.... and it continuted to be busy for several hours after!
At that point, I am sorry to say, Jade was "Super-bitch Jade" b/c of her husband not getting better directions and having to wait more. My husband tends to be rather irresponsible however I know he loves those dogs and was just so excited that reason left him while on the phone.. and I mean, I was obviously in no condition to get the directions myself...so.....
Finally, at 5 in the morning when dialed *69 another feeble time and someone answers!
Unfortunately the guy was mentally challenged or something (no, not mentally retarded,.. .mentally "challenged"... retardation is medically recognized.. the challenged are just idiots... KNOW the difference!)
and my husband had to explain over and over and over how we got his number.. he kept asking how we got his number!
Finally he gave us directions... bad ones.. but directions at least and then we find out that no, he doesn't "have" the dogs, he had just spotted them in his backyard.
Well, we had to try... perhaps they'd gotten tired and slept and therefore wouldn't have wondered too far? It was the last known place they had been (or one of them we still weren't sure... like I said, they guy was challenged).
So we went out there and spent 30 min. finding the place and drove around calling their names and suddenly we hear barking!!!
Hubby says "turn around turn around" and as I am doing so he goes "OMG! THere they are there they are!"
And all matted and exhausted and barking, our furry babies came galloping up to the car and leaped into our arms!
We cried, we laughed, we hugged, it was a "moment" in time. When I reflect back, what really amazes me is that they actually stuck together the whole time! I never realized how much they loved "each other" until then.
Wehlp (courtesty of LL) that is the story, in case anyone wanted to know... and that is what made me lose my attitude problem and why I am back!
And sooo glad to be!!!!

Oh my goodness. I am so happy you got the little darlings back. And what a story. You must love them alot.
Isn't it crazy what we will do for our pets, or should I say owners?
I find I put up with things from mine that I would never tolerate from a human. maybe it's just me, but I don't think so. Especially reading this and others posts on here.
On another note. Whoever opened that gate should have the same thing happen to them. Make them run around, lost and scared, hungry and frightened. That would teach them.
Yes, sweet Merelan can have a temper, when the cause is just.

Whew!
I'm so happy for you. I can't stand stories like this because I have kids, and I can't help transposing the animals for my children and wondering.....
NO! Not going there! Arrrgghhhh!
So happy for you. Hug them hard.

The way you reacted and the effort you made says an awful lot (of good stuff) about you Jade. The esteem that I hold you in just increased.
I'm extremely happy you got the pups back. I would seriously think about relocating (it it is at all possible) though.
Smiles and hugs and a pat on the back cutie.

Expertise... what happened while I was gone babe?
What are you talking about!?
You are always sweet!
DIXON: You don't even have to say it; I know where you are coming from. However, I have a feeling you are a fabulous father and your kids are wonderful, smart, beautiful, and loved and of course, well protected.
Thanks for the empathy and for seeing how much my puppies mean to me.
Thank you also to Merelan, Killer and Naked... you are all so totally fabulous!
I was hesitant at first to put up this thread b/c I didn't want to bore anyone but am glad you all have tried (on many different levels) to relate.
After my son passed away, my pets became "my children."
Of course, the void for him will NEVER go away!
However, my doggies are someone to love and they love me back... they make me almost feel like a "Mommy" again.
I just can't imagine life without them.
Ugh, I am getting all choked up again... gotta go to work!

Missed You!
Oh sweetie, I'm so happy for you!!!!!
You're making me all teary-eyed over here. I have two indoor cats, and I don't know what I'd do if either one of them happened to escape.
It is a shame about your neighbors, though. I guess I'll never see what joy people could ever get from making other people miserable. It's just beyond me.
Anyhow, welcome back (like it's been so long, huh?)

I was actually anything but sweet when you left bitterness and bile crept in pretty quick.
I was a little sour (not at you) at meeting someone who I thought was pretty great, cool and "in" (kidding) then having her go on sabbatical.
So I have been in a pissy (for me anyway) mood here on the board for the past day.
I so hate whining .... again glad your back.

Jade,
I'm so glad you got your babies back safe & sound! That adventure makes me want to send you a sturdy padlock, a caller id unit, and a baseball bat.
It's such a shame people have to be so repugnant.
I know that the doggies can never take the place of your little boy, but it is joyous to be that loved, isn't it? Whenever we come home ours "jumps as high the sky" and nearly wags everything to pieces. Oops, sorry for gushing, I guess I like being a dog's mom.

Glad you found them
I was very relieved to hear you found your babies. I have to admit some of those horror stories ran through my mind too when I read your post. I'm not a dog person per se but I love my pets (fancy rats)immensely.
As for the friendly neighborhood you live in. It's not atypical in some parts of Texas-esp. when you're outside the big cities. Where we live now, we are the minority- minority and we get some interesting looks. We try to think of it as a way to educate people who have inaccurate preconceived notions/generalized sterotypes about what people who are "different" from them; are like. How else you gonna find out-don't trust the media-it's all about lights, camera, and sensational action (oh and a little fact for good measure).
I think people have dissimilarities (fact) so it's insane that we try to become this homogeneous group-how boring. Bascially we're all human (most of us anyways)and we should remember that and respect it. So there's nothing to freak out about. Many of our neighbors have warmed up but we still are apart of the "neighborhood watch". Oh well que sera...
Congrats again and nice to see you back cool girl!
That's just what I think...
Love
