Doggie Jail
We had a pretty bad fire out here in the town I live. Fire got within a half mile of our place. Many people lost their homes. Very sad situation.
There were lots of planes and helicopters flying around. A zillion fire trucks and such. Smoke in the air. In all the commotion our dog took off. Animal control was up here picking up any strays they could find. When we finally got electric and phone service restored I was able to call and yep they had him.
Said he was the easiest pick-up they ever had. Opened the truck and he jumped in. He has tags on his collar.
He was down in Doggie Jail 2 nights. Never saw a happier dog than when I picked him up on Monday. However, he came home with a tatoo of a Poodle on his shoulder, smoking and a bad attitude toward the cats.

So glad to read your pup is safe and sound. I wish all the dogs were that lucky. Sounds like some of your neighbors are homeless. I'm glad the fire is out. So Scary!. My dog would do the same thing...jump right in the truck. I can't explain the attitude toward the cats. I'm sure she's VERY happy to be home. Besides.....your pooch won't look good in a black and white uniform. Later, Love, Lisa
Have I mentioned lately that my drinking team has a hosta problem?

I needed that laugh also! Glad he is home safe and sound and your home is okay. Since I am originally from around your vicinity(the long way around) I always pay close attention to the fires. Did they discover the cause of the fire? Hope it was not human.
I saw on the news this morning that CA, OR and WA are suing the President because he is gong to allow roads and logging in the National Forrest. That would be such a shame, there is so little left that is untouched. I know they are really fighting something like this in the John Muir Wilderness area.

Karry, you just cracked me up despite the sad story of the fire. What a cool sense of humor you have.bkshasta wrote:He was down in Doggie Jail 2 nights.

I'm really sorry that so many lost their homes in the fire. I'm happy for you, though, that you got your baby back. Your heart must be rejoicing.
