Oct. 12th, 2010 09:34 amWe've still got the knack for lost pets showing up at our door. This morning I was just getting home with JP from our walk when two beagles, leashed together, walked up to us. So I got JP in the house and went wandering the neighborhood looking for the owner. Of course there were no tags on them.
A lady was waiting at a near by corner with her son for the school bus. So I asked her if she had any idea who they belonged to. She didn't but offered her fenced in yard to hold them after I called the Human Society. Which is good, since I wasn't letting them in our house. One of the beagles was rubbing it's butt along the ground.
I knew of a house a few blocks away that has 2 beagles, so I decided to walk down there at least and if they didn't belong there return them to her house and call the Humane Society. The neighbor to the house I suspected the dogs belonged to said he thought they lived there and I could leave them in the fenced in yard while he called the owners.
Walking home I ran into a guy asking around for two lost dogs. :facepalm: So the two of us headed back down to the house I had left them at. As we were getting there the neighbor I had talked to was just leaving his house to look for me or the real owner. They had gotten a hold of the house I'd thought the dogs belonged to and those people said they were still in bed with their dogs.
So the beagles are with their owner. I mentioned the lack of tags and he said they have chips in them. Which is great, but does not help me. He also said that they had ran after a rabbit and got away from him. Not sure about that, as one of them was very fat, but whatever. Not he best owner in the world, I think, but not my place. The dogs weren't abused or sick, so I guess it's OK.
That was today's drama.
