The Weekend Friend
3 years ago
General
You know, living alone isn't easy. Especially when you just dont have friends in the area. I may have lived in these parts since 2005 but everyone I knew is gone for one reason or another, and family almost never visits.
This Saturday though, I met a friend. While I was out on a walk, she ran right up to me. A husky, almost pure white except for spots on her sides, and ice blue eyes. Her ears were perked she had that big dorky dog smile on, her dewclaws were nipped and her claws freshly cut. She ran from the direction of the vet's office so I went over there with her to see if she had just bailed out of someone's car, or thru an open door. Turns out they were closed, not a soul was there. So I called the nearby animal shelter, "closed until Monday at 8 AM". Whatever the case, she refused to go more than 10 feet away from me now, acting like I was her dad, so to home we went, I'd atleast give her food and water for 2 days before taking her to the vet to check for a chip, or the shelter, failing that.
This dog may be chaos, constantly jumping on me or other things, chewing on things, she's woefully untrained, but there isn't a mean bone in her body. She's not timid either, fully willing to crawl into your lap for cuddles, or crawl in to be spooned at night. By my guestimate based on her actions and reactions, she's most likely been an outside dog, which, for an energetic husky, is a good thing. She isn't potty trained unfortunately, thankfully there was only a single mess, because by sheer coincidence she'd do her business outside when I took her for a walk, (which by the way is a helluva workout with a 50 pound animal tugging hard on that leash for a mile) and she may have been an only dog, because she very much doesnt like other dogs. Thankfully no dogs have been hurt by potential hostilities. All things considered though, despite being a brat, her company, and her more mellow moments made me feel quite happy. Sure she chewed on a few things and maybe had an accident but honestly, I made a friend with an untrained, though gentle soul.
During the daytime hours she was an absolute gremlin most of the time, but when that sun went down, she was just this gentle little lover of a pup. This morning though, I have to turn her in. I've put up posters and sent emails to all nearby pet help/ pet stores / vets and so on, and all weekend long, I have heard nothing. I'm just hoping the vet finds a chip, they're supposed to be legally required here but hardly anyone follows those kind of lesser laws around here. I'm certain she's had vet work done before so, fingers crossed, lets get her back to her family eh?
UPDATE: No microchip found, so the owner of the local lost and found pets Facebook group in our area is picking her up.

UPDATE. The dog has been reunited with her owner
