Lost Dog (Now Found)

Our littlest dog, Copper, has been missing for a couple of days. He had somehow disappeared during the night and wasn't around at all on Tuesday. We walked up and down the road, looking in the ditch, thinking maybe he had been hit.

Then we thought maybe since he is a small dog, a coyote got him. Or possibly some one just decided to take him. We had NO idea what happened. Then today, our neighbors (who live about a mile away) called and asked if we were missing a little brown dog! They brought him right over! We were all so excited! I had told the kids just this morning, after Matt had gone around on the four-wheeler looking, that I didn't think Copper was coming home.

It is so strange that he went away that far. And actually, he showed up at someone else's house that was another mile away, and they called our neighbors to see if it was their dog. It wasn't but they decided to go pick it up and see if they could find its owners. We are so thankful that they took the time to find us instead of just taking him to the humane society or something!

Then after all that and we came back inside from getting him home, I found these papers along with another 5 just like the middle one. Lillie had, all on her own made up these little posters. We never even talked about making signs or anything. The top says "Did you see ar dog?" And then notice the label it says "Boy" on it.

And on the bottom of the last paper, it has a picture of two animals and she has them labeled-Cioty (Coyote) and Coppre (Copper) and underneath it says "Did you see a ciotes et him?"

I thought they were just adorable!

We still are very curious as to why he wound up a couple of miles away. If something chased him or he chased something? Who knows. He has never run off before. Hopefully he won't again!
