Canine Caper

So..it's two hours since I last posted, and I have a major headache.

I was laying on the couch reading 'Magic's Promise', Mercedes Lackey's follow-up to 'Magic's Pawn' with teh beautiful and homosexual hero Vanyel Ashkevron. I dozed a little bit, woke up and decided that since it was a bit sunny and warm outside, my handsome lil puppy Tico probably would need more water. I went out back to greet him...and he was GONE!

I was freaking out. I enlisted Rory to help me find him and figure out the problem. We searched his area and couldn't see anywhere that he might have escaped by exploiting a crack or break in the fence. Rory thinks he might've jumped it...but I have my doubts. He is a 50lb Chow-chow/Shiba Inu mix that's 10 months old and is about 2 or 3 feet tall. Jumping really isnt his thing. I shouted for Tico and the lil guy came padding up to greet us thankfully...but I don't trust him outside anymore today and am keeping him in. I have suspicions that possibly a neighbor or some other sordid stranger came by and let him out.

He needs a bath and a brushing anyways.
