Computer Kiss of Death
Life has been so frustrating lately. I'm still having computer problems--with the NEW computer now. I'm having software problems too with an offsite company where I freelance. I'm almost afraid to touch anything electronic.
But the worst happened this weekend. Two dogs showed up at my doorstep. One older dog and a puppy. They look like labs. And they are the sweetest dogs--but no ID.
I'm taking them into town today to see if my vet can scan them for chips, but I'm not holding out much hope.
If flyers don't help, I won't have any choice but to take them to the nearest rescue center. It's in another town, so I'm afraid they might not take them. I am sick with worry we won't find the owners.
I know I would be frantic if I lost my boys, but there's been no one looking for these poor dogs. Tank is not happy about the interlopers. The older stray curled her lip at him and that did not go over well.
Please send good thoughts that I'll be able to find the owners soon. These poor babies deserve a real home.

They look like beautiful animals too.
Angelina: You got that right. :) I'd probably enlist everyone I know to help me look. No stone left unturned.
Ref: ...someone's read your blog and discovered you've a soft spot for the strays of this world.
There's no way I'm that popular. Besides, they'd have to travel pretty far just to dump a couple of dogs.

Krista: The government could use me to disrupt the enemy's computer system. Just put me in front of a keyboard. LOL.
Sorry that you're still having computer problems.
As for the computer woes...I feel your pain. I'm convinced that I have some weird electro-magnetic force-field that makes any/all electronic equipment go wonky when I near. It's a curse ;} Grocery checkout - the register is sure to malfunction. Yeah...I'm that lady. Ha!
Call me what you like, but something like this doesn't just happen at random. These dogs were meant to find you. Don't be surprised if you end up with keeping them both. Life has an odd way of doing things to us when we least expect it.
Personally, I think they are where they are meant to be.
Raelyn: After two hours with the Geek Squad, my geek admitted defeat. He thinks the hardware is bad. That means another trip into town. :(
Dru: I papered my neighborhood with flyers. I hope someone sees them and recognizes the dogs.
Ref: Yeah...I'm that lady.
Was that you who was in front of me the other day? LOL.

Mark: This is the second time dogs have "found" me. I'm like a magnet for hard luck cases. The last time, after we resolved to keep the lost dog, the owners showed up three weeks later.

Sarah: I've done all I can. Posted flyers, checked with vets, and checked for microchips. All I can do now is wait. They are perfectly content little rascals though. They never stray more than ten feet from me.
Those doggies look beautiful. I sure hope things go well with finding their owners and getting them back where they belong.

Krista: At this point, I'd settle for the power to order wine.
Barbara: We have two too. Three I could handle, but four is pushing it.
Demitria: Welcome! Beautiful name. Glad you could stop by.
Jenny: Last time it took 3 weeks for people to claim their dog. I hope it doesn't take as long this time. That puppy is too young. He needs his shots.
Tracy Jo: They keep seeing each other through the glass so I'm hoping they'll get used to each other soon.
Clarissa: If you change your mind, you know who to call.

Marianne: Thank you! Texas Lab Rescue is the one I found, but I'll check out the others to see if they're closer. Thanks!
