GSD missing in Oregon - Page 2

I am very happy to report that both dogs have been found and are well and back home.

Happy to hear it! Glad they made it back so quickly!

What a relief for them and their owners! So glad they made it home !

Such good news!  Blitzen, thank you for letting us know.

Thank you for the good news Blitzen - it must be a great relief for the owner ! I am happy that it turned out this way. Ulli

I've never had a dog stolen, so I can't imagine the anguish it would cause. I'm sure a few people slept better last night than they have in the last two. I just love happy endings to dog stories, don't you?

I like happy endings too.  This is a crazy country, where you have to think always about the safety of your animals.  On my last trip to Germany, I was asked where I keep my dogs because I have a nice big fenced in backyard and I said in my house because I don't want to worry if my dogs are poisoned or stolen. 

I find this urbanization to kill alot of the joy of owning dogs.  I cannot take my dogs anywhere where they can run off leash, although sometimes I feel we are the only ones that follow the leash laws.  On my own property I protect them by making them live in airconditioning and watching TV during the day. It is just no fun anymore.

None of the 4 gates to my side yards and front patio may be opened from the outside. All fencing (including gaits) is 6-foot redwood. If anyone wanted to open a gate, he would have to climb on a ladder to reach or jump over it--and risk the consequences.

If I have unexpected visitors, the dogs generally "announce" their arrival. Otherwise, I have most people trained to call me from outside on their cell phones. I usually walk outside and meet people by opening the electric garage door.

I am happy for you and the dogs. I can only hope the jerks that did this rot.
