Woof Woof!

I woke up Friday morning to Patrick telling me Neeva was gone. We went in panic mode. He drove around the area calling for her and I went to work on emailing our neighborhood about her being lost. I made a flyer and headed into work. Patrick was watching Braysen Friday so Katie could have a day off and they headed off to Coos Bay early. I got into work, tired and groggy from spending all night sniffling and feeling like crap after sitting up on an allergy ridden farm (a beautiful view and farm but I was miserable) for dinner the night before and to top it off – we lost Neeva. I had planned on going into work and then leaving after to hit up the shelters, animal control, vets and then put flyers everywhere I could think of in hopes of finding her. Instead, I came into work and left shortly after with the go ahead from my nice boss. I made all the rounds with my flyers and hit up the vets / shelters with no word of Neeva. Around 11:30 (1/2 hour before the county animal control opens) I received a call from a neighbor, also a local police sheriff, who told me that he believed our dog had been picked up in McMinnville earlier that morning. We thanked him and at noon headed into to see if she was indeed the dog picked up. There laying quietly in the kennel was Neeva and $60 fine later we had our doggy back. They couldn’t find her chip (they didn’t scan low enough) but have written down where it’s located for future records. Hopefully, this isn’t a future occurrence. Patrick secured the area under the gate where she dug out by pouring concrete along the fence line so she can’t dig out through that. Now, we are in the hunt for a possible playmate for our Neeva girl. We think that’s a big reason why she ran off. She’s had a playmate visiting lately, a golden puppy that belongs to our friends. and she seems a bit sad after Lotus leaves. We wanted to wait until Braysen was older so she could help pick out his new puppy but we aren’t sure if we’ll wait that long after all. Finding the right fit for our family is the hard part. Neeva has an amazing personality and we want another doggy that can match that.

1st big news today~ Braysen is pulling himself to a stand!!! He can pull himself to standing against the couch and his new toy I got him today. I was so shocked!! He’s just such an active little squirt and between crawling and now this….he is something else to keep tabs on!
