Aaagh...did I really start this blog in 2007?? That's about one million years in blog years! I have switched back and forth between a straightforward pet detective blog, personal creative blog...blog, blog, blog. So, one more time, on the advice of marketing people, I'm pushing it back in the professional direction. Apparently, search engines (especially Google) are impressed by blogs that have over 50 posts. So rather than starting from scratch, I decided to resuscitate my old blog because I'm starting with 21 posts! Bear with me!

Lost Dog Ranger Home After 7 Days on the Road!
Ranger was another dog (along with his buddy, Sammy) who was lost in last week's storms. His little buddy was recovered safely after 5 days when he gave himself up to a nice lady about 2 miles from home.
But no one had seen Ranger. Hoping the two dogs had stayed together, Murphy and I did "scent scans" all over the neighborhood where Sammy was found, but could not find Ranger's scent there.
So we started over at the owner's home. Since Ranger had a 7-day head start on us AND we'd had torrential rains, I was worried that Murphy might not be able to connect the dots. But after much circling of the owner's neighborhood, we finally found where Ranger exited the neighborhood. He had gone the exact opposite direction from where Sammy was found. Once I felt confident that we had established a direction of travel for Ranger, we broke off the scent search and started putting huge neon posters in the direction he went. We put up about 15 posters, but it was the 2nd or 3rd poster that did the trick. We had put up 2 posters at the intersection of Dennis & Royal in Dallas, and that's exactly where Ranger was picked up that evening. Click here to see a map of our search !
