Gracie, Come Home!

When I got home from work today, neither of the dogs greeted me at the door. I found Buster curled up on my bed, but Gracie is nowhere to be seen. The people who mow my lawn left the back gate unsecured, and it was wide open. I suspect that Buster also got out, but after a good romp around the neighborhood came back home. Gracie... is not that smart.

I quartered the neighborhood, but saw no sign of her, and the few people I saw outside (Heat Advisory, remember?) hadn't seen her either. I just put in a call to the police; that's my only real hope, unless Gracie somehow finds her way back.

I'll probably be ticketed for "letting a dog run loose"; I was warned the last time this happened. (The mowing people are usually good about securing the gate, but once in a long while they goof up.)

All I can do now is wait.

Oh, gracious, that's awful.

May Gracie return hale and soon!

(Putting something with a familiar smell on the outside of the house is recommended in such cases.)

Well, good for the someone, and good for police efficiency, too!
