I was looking back on the entries I've posted since Ivy's birth and realized that I never followed up about Sandy! (Well, I did on facebook but not on the blog.)
She's home!!
3 weeks after she was lost we received a call from a land owner about 2-3 miles from where she was lost who had just seen her dash by him. He tried calling to her but she wouldn't come to him and Daniel confirmed- red coat, white chest, orange collar - Yes! that was our girl. We all climbed in the car and headed out to pick her up. Except when we got there, she was no where to be found! We drove around for 2 hours looking for her with no luck. We had left our house so elated and came home so deflated. But we knew she was alive!
The next morning Daniel left a little early to return to the spot she was seen to leave one of his t-shirts and a bowl of dog food for her and when he got there, there she was!! She was skin and bones, with lots of scratches, cuts and sores. She was limping and we pulled a dozen tics off of her but her tail was wagging! And she was sure happy to be home!
That was 3 weeks ago. She is mostly recovered and we are sure grateful and happy to have her back. She has officially retired from the hunting profession and is enjoying being a house dog full time. Yay for happy endings!
