Dal & Mad's Mom Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 after 16 days he was finally spotted sleeping on a deck in a gated community that had pics 10 miles away. The man said they initially thought they had a lost sheep. Then he turned and it was a dog. I went there and serched for a 1/2 hour without sucess but, he had doubled back by that point and was 5 miles away walking up the highway. He was so in panic mode that he didnt recognize me at first as was going to run. His coat is most likely a total loss. I'm sending him to a groomer that adopter a dog on trade but there are so many knots and burrs that I doubt anything can be done. Right now he is sound asleep behind my chair. Hes such a creature of habit too the first thing he wanted was to be put out with the other dogs. I think not.lol Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. This had so many ways to end badly that I cant believe I foudn him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliepoudrier Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Oh yay for you for finding Dally (and thanks be to the person who spotted him and called). Once you're done loving on both he and Genie don't forget to lecture them on the dangers of running away from home. This is such wonderful news. J.

mbc1963 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Best news I've heard this month! I can't believe how long we all followed this story - I was really, really afraid Genie was going to lead you to a very sad ending on Dally! Congratulations! It's wonderful, wonderful news! Please, please take pictures of your two wayfarers, so we can see their pathetic but happy reunited selves. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dal & Mad's Mom Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 The thing is they went 2 different directions Genie Knew home was this way and walked it no matter how bad and Dally went away from home. My dad tried to get tracks on him for 2 hrs in the woods yesterday without sucess. He said there wasnt anything there at all. I didnt want to post as it was too sad. I knew though when the man said I thought it was a sheep that it was him. When I first received pictures of him as a 6 month old that was the first thing I said yuck he looks like a funky sheep. I dont want that dog. That was untill I met him and he had such a genuinely great personality. My husband who knows I adopt out great dogs all the time is always complaining that I paid too much money for him but to me he's priceless.

Dal & Mad's Mom Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 here is a pic of the filthy burr filled wander Genie requests that I put that black thing away. Although he has a definite Red stripe down his back those spots are mostly embeded burrs. his belly is solid black too. My 14 year old greeted him with hello Dally it's good to see you "yuck your filthy get away".lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea4th Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Wow!!!!! Who says miracles don't happen. If only they could talk and tell you where they've been, what they'd done, who they'd met. I'm sure Dally & Genie would have quite a story to tell. Crossing this one off my "must worry" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnewe2 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Miracles do happen! You and your pups are living proof! Who cares about his coat, you got your boy! Enjoy the love. Yay......I love a happy ending....even with no hair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
