...and then they brought him back. I can't figure this one out. I leave my house around 9 AM. I'm missing my Springer Spaniel, Buddy. My lab is still there but he is a little skittish if he doesn't know you so he would be hard to steal. I look under the house with the flashlight, no dog. No holes in the fence but this little booger doesn't leave the yard even if the gate is left open. I call the roomy, dog was there at 6 AM. when he went to work. I run the neighborhood cussing the illegals, they usually steal Pit Bulls but I figured that Buddy must have done in a pinch. These dogs I have are rescue dogs, I rescued them from people that had them tied up in the weather and starved them big time. Buddy is a little thief, if something is in your hand he'll go after it thinking it's grub and he ain't real accurate so you might end up getting nipped. He realizes his mistake pretty quickly so he doesn't clamp but it would be enough to scare a kid that doesn't know him. All I could think of is the poor little booger nipping a kid trying to steal a hot dog out of their hand and he would be tied in the yard and starved or dumped somewhere. I call the pound, the only dogs they have picked up today is a shepard and a hound, no springers. I hit the house around 3 PM and flop down on the couch to eat a sandwich. I had checked the yard before I went in and no dog. While I'm on the couch I hear the fence rattle but I don't think much about it and then I hear his weird little bark! Huh? I look out the window and there he is! I run out the door but whoever it was has disappeared. Buddy is barking because I had given the lab a rawhide chew toy before I had went in and Buddy is trying to steal it. He must not have had too bad of a day if the first thing on his mind when he gets home is theft!
