An update: Crazy Gray Boy was picked up Monday afternoon by his owners, who hopefully went straight out and bought tags for his collar.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281288495129054688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031080477103832810.post-40819905487841972362010-09-15T11:07:49.318-07:002010-09-15T11:07:49.318-07:00I'm a HUGE animal rescuer (85 dogs and cats so...I'm a HUGE animal rescuer (85 dogs and cats so far)...

Today I am going to call the pound and see if CGB was claimed--like you say Tabor, Friko, and Patience he does look valuable and well-card for. True to his breed he was neurotic, and not a dog I would casually agree to keep, but still I want to know he found his home. Rebecca, those eyes say it all, don't they!<br /><br />Land of Shimp, you have written so well about this dilemma of do-I-pay-the-price-of-doing-the-right-thing. It is so true that if I hadn't done it, my day would have been ruined by my guilt. Ah, the burden of a conscience. Your comment is worth its own post; I hope you do it.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281288495129054688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031080477103832810.post-10674918165512959462010-09-14T11:08:08.419-07:002010-09-14T11:08:08.419-07:00P.

You just incre...Kerry, thank goodness you stopped. You just increased the chances that whoever owns that dog will actually be able to find him tenfold. <br /><br />I know it's a pain, and not all pet owners are all that caring, but chances are good that someone was searching frantically for that dog. Thank you for helping them, and barring that, him. <br /><br />I'm sorry about your spoiled hike, of course and that poor dog truly does look lit from within by some bright-eyed, energetic spazziness :-) But no matter what, you got him to a safe place. <br /><br />We're also the people who chase down stray dogs, call numbers on tags and try to return pets. It's a pain, isn't it? Still, sadly your hike was likely spoiled either way, even if you went on it you'd end up wondering what happened to the crazed, gray one. <br /><br />A few months back I was driving home from the grocery store and saw a huge, speckled hound bounding all over an office park, sans person. The road I was on was 40 mph, the dog was headed in the other direction and I knew that if I turned around I'd be in for a hell of a search, and not only did I have perishables in the car on a warm day, I had no leash with me. <br /><br />So I did something I've never done before, I just kept going and hoped that somebody else would fill my role of local dog wrangler. I still think about that dog, I still wonder if I condemned some poor family to never knowing what happened to their beloved pet. <br /><br />Just saying, I've rounded up maybe a dozen and a half dogs in the last five years or so. That was the one time I clenched my jaw and thought "Two hundred bucks worth of groceries? I can't." <br /><br />Total mistake. I can still see that disappearing form in my mind's eye and I ended up with more than two hundred dollars worth of regret. I chose the easier option, for that particular moment, and have honestly had freaking DREAMS about that dog, in which I stopped and went back. <br /><br />It's actually a lot more of a hassle when you do something against your basic conscience. Boy, what I wouldn't give for a time machine on that one. <br /><br />But I think you know that. The easier choice in the moment is generally the more difficult option with which to live :-) <br /><br />You're a good egg, and that dog's hero.Land of shimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671954452597068904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031080477103832810.post-59650805793476187992010-09-14T05:53:07.773-07:002010-09-14T05:53:07.773-07:00You are an angel!
