A story of reuniting ...
On our wedding anniversary, we went to the local crab house for dinner. WHile we were eating, a waitress runs by our table with a basset hound in her arms. Double take! Yep - a basset hound!
As it turned out, this little gal has been hanging around all day and had finally managed to sneak in the back door of the returant!
Well, Hurricane Hannah was scheduled to make herself known in approximately 18 hours and this little gal would be left out in the storm! DH & I took her home to keep her safe. This was Friday.
Hurricane related storms blew through all day on Saturday. Before it got too bad, I drove to the local Humane Society to have "Hannah" (our temporary name for her) scanned for a micro chip. They found none.
I called all the local vets, SPCA, pet shops, etc and let them know that I found her. I knew someone had to be looking for her. She was mostly housebroken and just the sweetest little girl! Even Odie fell in love (or was it lust?). Saturday continued on, not a word. Sunday of course was quiet, as most Sunday's are, except for the noise of a very young basset hound! Monday, I just knew someone would call. Nothing! Monday night, we decided we would keep her and if no one claimed her by the end of the week, we would take her to our vet.
Unfortunately - she had fleas, SO, WE had fleas! We treated her with Frontline. Luckily, she weighs almost the same as Odie and we could use his medicine.
On Tuesday, the SPCA called to tell me that someone was looking for her. I got his phone number and we agreed to meet at my house.When I walked in, she wagged her tail. When he walked in - she nearly through out a hip!!! She was wagging so hard! Tuens our, her name is "Callie" and she has a very loving family, consisting of Husband, Wife, 2 children, ages 3 and 6 and a cat! No wonder she had so much energy!!
I thought I would be terribly sad to lose her, but knowing that she went home to such a loving family sure helped. I actually felt great that I protected her from the storm and then was able to reunite her with those that love her most!
Good Luck to you and your family Callie! I hope you live Happily Ever After!!
