HURRAY HURRAY HURRAY

Kiki is HOME!!! 3 weeks to the day and zero calls and no sighting finally Mary and Brian's phone rang with a lead. The caller lived in South Hills and said that she saw what she thought was a deer napping in her yard under a tree....it turned out to be Kiki. While still on the phone with the first caller a second lady called and had just seen Kiki too. So Mary and Brian hopped in the van and lead footed it to the area. There was no sign of her at first but then Brian said those magic words, "Mary there she is!!" Kiki was wandering down the road sniffing garbage cans. Brian drove right to her and opened the van door and hauled her in and into Mary's tearful and waiting arms!!! Mary reports that Kiki lost her collar and is thin but unhurt. This deserves some sort of celebration!!!

Kiki was LUCKY to get back home. So many things could have happened to her while she was out wandering around. So a reminder to check your dog's tags. Are they current and legible? Be sure to have both your cell and home numbers on the tag. If you change collars make sure the tag makes the change or have a light collar just for tags. Consider chipping your greyhounds. Yes they have tattoos BUT many shelters don't know how to track those down and most shelters now scan for chips. Also if anyone who is not familiar with your greyhound is going to be in your home either to visit or work keep your dog in a crate or at least closed in a room away from the door. Accidents still happen but lets all commit to reduce the risk for our greyhounds.
