Sorry to hear that. Lost mine couple of months ago. Animal control said they did not have him but turned out they did after I tracked down the person that had given my dog to them. After that experience, dont necessarily take it as gospel if the person that answers the phone says they dont have him. They whisk these dogs off to Chipley right away and I get the impression they are not long for this world after they go there. Don't know for sure though. Good Luck!

No, scooterbug's tar is not the dog in question.

[B][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"][COLOR="DarkRed"]:clap:Thank Goodness I hate to hear of lost pets.....having been there a number of times myself.  Sleep just doesn't come easy those nights and then the wondering, the going to the door looking for them coming home.  Every dog or cat I pass that is alone I always turn around to check.  Here at the Christmas Season we need no more missing pets.....and much more going to new homes.

Oh my gosh I just got into a "lecture" state of mind.:roll::blush::blink::(

Kids and animals so precious![/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B]
