Missing Puppy, No Tags
Pixie and I have decided to take a more pro-active route to find her lost stuffed animal, Miri. I posted a copy of this sign all around town today and am hoping we get some leads (click the picture to enlarge it). One of Pixie's favorite books deals with a lost cat and his owner who posted signs around town to find his sweet pet. Taking their lead, she thought this would be a good idea. Is this just being cruel or should I just break it to her that her doggie is gone? In any event, I found it to be an amusing mother-daughter bonding activity.
I gained a new appreciation for real wooden telephone poles today that you can actually use a staple gun on. I also blanketed the laundromat, the library, the farmer's market, the park and the neighborhood by the elementary school. I tried to get into the Senior Citizens Center because I know how clingy some of those folks can get (heaven forgive them if one of them snuck off with our puppy), but it was locked. Now just to sit back, cross our fingers and wait. Pixie is optimistic.
My darling husband, by the way, says I'm retarded. I have no rebuttal.
I got a voice mail the day after posting the signs. It was from a laughing, nameless woman saying that she had found my puppy. She didn't leave a return phone number. Am I to take it that our puppy is being held hostage? Should I expect further, taunting phone calls? Miri, come back to us!

hope it ends on a good note, at the store the puppy was originally purchased, maybe?

You also know, now, that she knows you did the very best that you could do about the situation. I'm proud of your efforts. Good.Job.Mom!

Oh by the way, there was a Malibu Barbi hanging around, giving him the eye... I'm just saying.
(in truth, I think this is very cute and creative!)
What a cute thing to do -- I hope it works by some miracle.
Does your toddler really have her own email address??
