Lost Dog!!!

"Who me?!"

Naughty Riley disappeared last week! We went for a camping trip with our friends, the Seamons! We wanted to take the dogs, Riley and Wyatt, but their boy, Rodney can't drive in the car with them. Justin had to come up to camp late so he could finish his last final so his job was to haul the dogs. He dropped Riley off with Wyatt so they could get some energy out and Justin went to the store. He was back in less than 15 minutes and Riley was M.I.A. That was on Wednesday evening. He spent hours driving and walking around trying to find him but he had no luck.

Justin finally made it to camp at almost 11 pm. Camping was great (even though I was worried and missing my dog) but that is for another post. We got home Friday and immediately went to the shelter but he wasn't there. We checked again and again. We had a family reunion/wedding that weekend so we didn't get any lost dog posters out until Sunday.

Sunday night was hard because it was the first night I was all alone without my husband or my dog. Justin finally got home from work Monday about 3am and he sat in the car for a few minutes finishing a chapter on his audiobook. Soon, our cat Sophie climbed into the car through the sunroof and sat with him and then out of nowhere Riley's head pops up in the window!

Somehow that dog found his way home. He has never been to the house he escaped from and rarely do we go on walks around our house. I was so surprised that he actually found us! He seems to be just fine. He lost a lot of weight because his ribs are visible even from across the yard! He is dirty, has a few nasty bugs crawling on him and was collarless.

We are so happy to have Riley back safe and sound!
