Meet my dog Buster . . . my sweet helper. He was sniffing the soup to make sure it was up to par. He is a beautiful German Short Hair Pointer who gave me quite the scare this week when he ran away chasing a rabbit. Lucky for me a lady saw him run through a gate into a neighbor’s back gate. He was locked in there for several hours. I drove around screaming his name the entire time and nearly lost my voice. I was in tears by the time it was all over. Losing your pet really stinks. I am so grateful for the angel that helped my find him. And to think she was walking to the store when she saw him right as he slipped into my neighbors yard. What an ordeal! She was walking back home with a couple of grocery bags when I stopped to ask her if she had seen my dog. Mind you – I had asked around 50 people in two hours. I believe in angels – and today this kind lady was my angel.
