Day 6

Visited 12 vets today and yesterday. Gave them flyers. They said they would keep them up until I called and said he was back. I really hope they do. I contacted Jack Russell Rescues in twenty states. Can’t hurt, right?

Also, today, I had a call this morning from a person who said they saw Riki running around on a road right near my house. I spent about an two hours over there looking for him. Even took Rebecca’s car off roading down a path that maybe he had gone down. I didn’t find anything, so I went home. Got another call a couple hours later, same thing. Same dog, same place. I went over and again couldn’t find anything. Later that evening I was just sitting down for the first time when I got three calls in a row. Boom, one right after the other; “ I see your dog”, “I see your dog”, “I can’t catch your dog, but he is here.” I went flying over there so fast. Drove around for a while when I saw eyes in the road. It was dark out and I could see the reflection from the eyes. I got out and called the dog, he was nervous and ran away. After spending some time speaking Jack Russell to him I got him to come to me and I put a leash on him. He, obviously, wasn’t my Riki, but he was someone’s dog. I called around and found his owner. Got him reunited, they had been missing him all day. I was happy to send him home. His name is Rudy. I’m glad Rudy found his way home, I just can’t help but be jealous that he was Rudy and not Riki. I miss him so much it hurts.
