I sure hope the tree will be alright. Let that be a lesson to all you trees out there to pay attention at all times and move out of the way.
LAM75, I hope you find Skippy someday and then Skippy and Poppy will be the best of friends.
-This also caught my eyes too doors17. I am glad the dog is back to its original home. The dog probably escaped and she saw the dog was in need of food and care.
I can't believe it was stolen. My dog, Skippy, disappeared in March and I do believe she was stolen. She never wandered around and barks at any stranger (even family members who visited).
She stayed off roads too. ;-( I am now training a new dog which I named Poppy.
Wow, this story sure leaves me with mixed emotions, as I'm happy for the original owner and for the dog to be reunited, I can help but feel sad for the other women who I'm sure fell in love with the dog.
I would suggest to the original owner to look into getting the Home Again microchip, all our local vets can help. To the good lady who took care and provided love to this dog, please check our animal shelter, there are many dogs who are looking for someone like you.
