That's phase 2, I've got word out in town I found a dog now so I'll give it a day or two then escalate to that.



aw man that dog is tryin her best to say "don't leave me"

you're a stronger man than I am, I would've crumbled and already made a dog bed in the footwell of the trukk. I'm a huge sucker for dogs tho, and they know it.

e: realistically, as long as she ends up in a better situation than you found her I think everyone will feel a lot better, yourself included. there's gotta be someone who can take care of her. would it be totally out of the question to bring her for part of the trip and drop her off somewhere less awful than valentine along the way? maybe with another goon who already has a dog or something. just thinking out loud here.

I mean I feel that's likely an option if anyone along the way is willing to take her in, I'm getting more and more a vibe she got dumped so winter could take care of her. Nobody's messaging about the dog, and continue to have no leads what so ever as to a possible owner.

People really are fuckin scum. I'd take her but I'm 2000 miles in the wrong direction unfortunately. It might be worth making a post in pet island to see if anyone is along the way and has room for one more.

There's a dog like that near me, every time he escapes he comes over to play with my dog and get treats and love. The owners don't even bother looking anymore, they just text me to make sure he's over here. I bring him back after he gets tired of wrestling with my dog, usually 20-30 minutes. He sorta looks like Blue too:

Our Black and Tan when I was growing up usually just wandered the neighborhood making trouble, but occasionally we'd get a call from a vet 2 towns and 8 miles over saying "Welps, we found your chipped dog, come and get him."

I've been tryin' to speak with you for a long time
My dog growing up was a black lab/german shepard but mix. He was a great dog but would eat anything. He started gaining weight and was getting really fat, so we started restricted his diet. When this didn't work, we took him to the vet who prescribed special food. He continued to be fat despite this, until one day we saw him running in the street around the corner.

He ran into the nieghbor's driveway, where out 80 year old neighbor was waiting for him with a huge rear end grin on his face. HIs large rear end station wagon long disused, he was dropping bagels one by one onto the antenna for our dog to jump up and eat.

When I moved in here, I noticed a cat that was frequently around my apartment complex. She looked a little skinny, but was pretty skittish, I figured she was either a stray or a neighbor's.

Well... come December, and a Nextdoor post about that cat comes up from someone else in my complex. That cat was a pretty regular visitor to her building, and would try to run into her apartment. She's allergic to cats, but it was supposed to get decently cold that night (15F I think?), and she wanted to find someone to take the cat in, at least for the night, to get the cat out of the cold. I volunteered.

Cat wound up being super friendly. Took her to get checked for a chip. She had a chip, tracked down the owners....

They'd moved out of my apartment complex a year before, and the cat got out right after they moved. They'd moved a mile and a half away from here. They got reunited.

I had to alternate which cat got to roam around for the ~2 days I had her, since The Dude was having none of this new cat poo poo, and new cat had that "SAY WHAT HISS ONE MORE TIME" look on her face (she never hissed at him, but she got that look that cats get about half a second before they rip your arm open). Plus The Dude was behind on shots at the time, and I had no idea if she was carrying anything (like FIV).

Anyway, here's Izzy. She's pretty tiny, and was skin and bones under all that fur. I figured she was <1 year old... chip company said she was 4 1/2 years old. I'm kinda amazed she made it all the way over here, they're now on the other side of a large lake... with the only bridges being major roads (closest being I-30).

I had the opposite, a cat I had raised from a kitten. We called him Complaint, because when he was a kitten he would not shut up. Fuckin giant grey long-hair, who once dragged home a chicken he killed - this cat killed things. And the best part, you could roll him on his back and give him belly scritches like a dog and he freaking loved it.

My parents moved and the cat vanished before they could get him in the car. I was in town the next day to find and save my damned cat and gently caress anyone who intended to stop me. I wound up finding him down the road at a 70-year-old lady's house. He would go to her house on the times he vanished from ours for three or four days. I didn't have the heart to take him with me, because he obviously enjoyed being with her and she was very lonely and the cat made her world. She kept me updated on him by email for years. He passed away just two weeks before she did, in 2007.

(Complaint's grandmother decided we were her new owners by jumping into our car at the library and refusing to get out, when I was 11.)

This is a good story, and you are a good person for leaving him with the old lady.

Whoever the gently caress owns it is flying up to the rear end in a top hat of Nebraska (soon!) to pick it up and drive it home. Owner has a driver's license. Dick hasn't a DL, and will only do donuts in DJDaddo's field when he gets it running. Y'know the OG indycars? Dave is the ride-along mechanic, in this analogy.

14" whatever, if you're reading this and it happens to be along the way, be sure to check out USS Alabama museum ship in Mobile, if you happen to be in town.

p. sure your real first name has been mentioned. Also, for those who ain't in the Facebook club, his last name is appropriately Viking-ish.)
