Found a lost puppy

[tamrock]

Well it wasn't exactly lost, but it seemed to enjoy watching me look for arrowheads on the bluffs this afternoon. Maybe I should have brought it home ?? OR it was trying to lead me to that long and large perfect Clovis point I've been looking for now many years... It was a nice day to hit first service at church, take a cat nap and go wondering around creek today. That's something I've done as long as I can remember. No matter were I've lived I always found peace and solitude along creeks and rivers. I could name a lot of creeks and rivers I've explored from the Mississippi in Iowa to the American river in Northern California. I'm glade we have those to enjoy.

If you brought it home I'm sure Bella would make a good snack.

He was probably a little concerned that you were digging up his favorite field mice.

And then wondering how he could work a field mouse detector without any thumbs...

Water is always calming and soothing, isn't it?

My job takes me all over.
I once put in the wrong GPS coordinates for a job and ended up 69 miles from where I was supposed to be. (Note to self: That was pretty stupid!)

However, when I arrived at the wrong coordinates (literally, a rural two-lane highway in the middle of nowhere Alabama!!) there was an abandoned dachshund who was clearly scared and hungry (skinny), and thankfully only slightly injured. No collar, but his nails had been done maybe within the last month, and I surmised he either got lost/separated from his owner, or was purposely abandoned.

Well, long story short - the road was too busy to leave him there, and there wasn't a home (or any structure for that matter) in sight for miles. Plenty of cotton, however.
It took me a good ten minutes to coax him into the van, and we then drove about 15 miles to the nearest town where we got him some food and water.
There was only one vet in town and even though it was after-hours on a weekend, she agreed to take him off our hands, fix him up, and get him over to the county shelter.
I gave her $100 to help cover the expenses.

I love dogs and I would definitely have kept this little guy if I could. But there was just no way. We were early into a 3-week road trip with a ton of work to do, hundreds of miles from home, and no place to keep a dog in the meantime. Getting him fed, off that highway, and into the vet's care was, unfortunately, the best I could do.

My co-worker thinks I'm crazy, but I now keep a can of dog food in the van at all times.

I used to have a job that took me to Missouri..I was down by the lead mines and came across two box turtles in the middle of the road. One had been run over and the other was just sitting there being the next to get smashed. I picked him up and carried him far from the road, so he wouldn't end up like his brother.

I just asked her if she wants to go hunt some Coyotes... She's ready man. Of course I'm going to have to pull a few cockle burrs out of her again.
