Rescue doggies!

We have had a crazy evening tonight. Mommy brought two of her friends home and we all set out for a walk...we were very excited to meet some new people! About 10 minutes into the walk we found a little black doggy. He smelled funny and had an infected eye, but he was very friendly and kept trying to sniff us and follow us. Mommy figured if he followed us home she could call a shelter to figure out what to do with him. It was pretty obvious that he was not near where he was supposed to be as we were in the middle of a pretty big field between the backs of houses. So we kept walking until we got to the main road of the subdivision, which is pretty busy. Mommy unhooked me from my leash and carried me so the little black doggy could borrow my leash and not run out into the street. I got to ride in style! But I would rather have been down on the ground trying to sniff this new dude!

So anyways, we're walking along and guess what...ANOTHER doggy starts following us! This one looked healthier and probably was close to his home but he kept following us. Mommy saw someone and asked if the person recognized this 2nd doggy and they had never seen him before, so we all came back to our house. Mommy put me and Cody in our kennels and the other two ran around in the backyard while she tried calling animal control and local shelters - after about a bazillion phone calls she finally called our vet who told her she could bring the doggys into them to see if there was a microchip, but they couldn't keep them overnight and they were over an hour away. The alternative was to take them to the Aurora Animal Shelter where they have night drop kennels...so that is what Mommy decided to do.

Mommy told me that she filled out paperwork and then each doggy went into a different little compartment with food and water and a nice bed before the door locked behind them. She was upset at the thought that these dogs might not be claimed, but is hopeful that things will turn out ok with them.

As a reminder to all of our other doggy pals - make sure that your humans put a tag on your collar with your name and a phone number or address! If you are microchipped, make sure that your humans fill out the paperwork and send it in (it is not done automatically when you get that nasty shot) and if you move...make sure they update your information!
