Oh, Arky, I hope too that you find her safe and sound.

Our old cat disappeared for days once. We never knew what happened but suspect she accidentally got locked in some place as her claws were worn down...poor thing was trying to claw her way out of somewhere.

Then there was the time we brought our young dog to a friends house...dog got out and disappeared. I figured he was a goner. He showed up several weeks later, none the worse for wear but given his behavior, he clearly learned something about the birds and the bees!

Thanks so much, everyone. I'm trying to stay hopeful since we haven't seen any sign of anything having been hit on the road or anything.

How does someone lose a llama?

14847. Magoseph - 5/5/2005 9:19:18 PM

We have llama farms where they breed them in this state and I guess they can escape from these places.

How do you like this avatar? It's made by Tabby.

I can't see it. Don't stomp your little last season Prada shoes at me, honey. It's a red X.

larky, I hope you find your beloved dog.

Thanks, Ulgine. We're really down about it. This is the third night. But we're leaving no stone unturned.

Mags, I see it and it's very suave--assuming it's not an outfit for the runway--she'd end up in the audience's laps! ;-)

It's always so nice to see you, Ulgine!

Arky, any news?

Hi, Mac.

Allo Mago

14853. arkymalarky - 5/6/2005 2:58:45 PM

Mags,

No, and I guess that's good news. I've called all the local pounds, vets, news outlets, and neighbors I can think of and I'll put up signs this afternoon and announce it in church Sunday. If that doesn't do it, then I think she either died somewhere around here and we may or may not ever find her (we never found Bob's dog, and we know that's what happened to him, because he was very ill--Mose was a month old at the time), or someone took her for their own, and I just hope they treat her well.

14854. arkymalarky - 5/6/2005 3:00:15 PM

I also drove all the local roads again this morning and saw no sign of any animal having been hit except a small pulpy thing that looked like it had once been a possum.

14855. judithathome - 5/7/2005 3:19:22 PM

Arky, my heart goes out to you, as you know...I hope Diva turns up but one thing you be certain of, if someone took her, they will treat her well. She's a sweetheart.

14856. Ms. No - 5/7/2005 4:52:13 PM

Oh, Arky, that's terrible. I'd be frantic. I'll keep my fingers crossed that she's just out adventuring and will be home soon.

14857. The Summer Woman - 5/8/2005 1:17:21 AM

Wizard of Whimsy - Beautiful work. I really like it.

Um, How much do they cost? I liked all of them.

14858. The Summer Woman - 5/8/2005 1:18:01 AM

Judith! Happy belated birthday.

14859. judithathome - 5/8/2005 4:48:36 AM

Just dropping in to let y'all know both my candidates won today...in landslides. I guess positive campaigning DOES count for something.

14860. arkymalarky - 5/8/2005 4:56:01 AM

Congratulations! It really does make a difference.

I guess by now you got my phone message.

For the other Moties, I have a sad update on Diva. A friend of ours found her dead on the highway this morning, right in the middle of the road. She hadn't been there more than 12 hours or so, because we'd driven the road the previous afternoon and there was no sign of her. She evidently got on the trail of an animal and wandered a lot further from home than she'd ever done and was trying to make her way back. We buried her in the back yard between the house and barn.

Bob and I are both really down about it, not only because she was so close to both of us, but because she was alive until last night, though she'd been gone since Tuesday evening. She was a super happy dog and loved everything about being outside and inside, but she had been getting much more bold with her hunting in the last few months. She would have been miserable penned up, but we're miserable without her at the moment.

14861. judithathome - 5/8/2005 5:07:38 AM

Arky, I'm so very sorry...I sent you an e-mail. Keoni and I both are so down about your news. She was a fantastic and big hearted little dog. You already know how much we loved her.....

14862. arkymalarky - 5/8/2005 5:13:46 AM

Thanks so much, Judith. You and Keoni are such fine friends, and you both appreciated Diva so much that I was dreading telling you all, and I was sort of glad you weren't home. It's been hard to keep my composure around people (and I've failed at it several times in the last few days). Bob and I have both been so sad, and we had to take his mother to Little Rock this afternoon, which turned out to be a good thing. We didn't need to stay home.

I'm glad we know where she is and she's home where she belongs, but she's been the best little pet both of us have ever had and we were looking forward to many more years with her. I think we'll sit out back a little with her before we go to bed tonight.

14863. wabbit - 5/8/2005 5:35:29 AM

Arky, I'm so sorry to hear about Diva. From your posts I know she was a wonderful little dog and a good friend. Please give my condolences to Bob and Mose also.
