our first stray

this last week, my mom and step-dad were away in North Carolina (so jealous!).  so me and grams switched off watching the cats.

sunday after the vision walk, we made our way to their house to check on the cats.  after we left, Mark noticed that there was a little Schnauzer mix that had run across the street and was extremely close to the railroad tracks.  he asked if we should stop, and i of course said yes!

we got out of the car and tried to coax the dog to us.  she was pretty timid and when i went to grab her, she just cowered.  i noticed right away that she didn't have a collar on.  we had an extra collar with us to we put it on her with a leash and took her back to the house who's yard she had run from.

i rang the doorbell and no one came to the door, so i rang again.  this time a man answered and i asked if she was his dog.  he said "no" and then i heard his wife in the background yell "and we don't want one!"  haha.  she came to the door and they mentioned that they had never seen the dog before so they didn't think it was one of the neighbors.

we called her Daisy even though she didn't respond to it

we decided to call over to HAWS to see if they had any calls on her yet.  they didn't, so i made the trip over there to drop her off.  they gave me her ID number so i could call and check on her, otherwise if no one claimed her, they were sure she would go to the President of HAWS rescue for schnauzers.

i'm happy to report that i called back two days later and found out that she had a chip and the family was able to pick her up the same day!!  so happy she went home to her family!  they were probably worried sick about her.  we also found out that she does live on the same street that i found her on, my mom's street.  now every time we drive to my mom's i look to see if i can see her at any of the houses.



such a good girl!  i hope i get to see her again someday!
