I made up a company to claim I work for when in social situations where it’s unlikely I’ll meet the people again. It’s a crime scene cleaning business named Out Damn Spot.

You and us both! She’s our little magical, punk rock hyena :)

Needless to say we were beside ourselves with relief and we’re now calling her our miracle dog and taking this as a sign that she’s OUR family. Welcome home, you wonderful girl!

My alarm goes off in the morning and I groggily get up and check the porch bed. No dog. I check the patio bed. There’s something in it and I think it’s something the raccoons did. But, no. There’s Junebug, curled up and asleep. With her leash still attached and the handle sheered off.

Every noise has me on alert and I’m checking the beds over and over. At about 1am I hear something out back, but it’s only raccoons playing with the dog bed out back. I finally fall asleep with no luck at about 3am.

Tammy makes fliers and posts on all the sites, also registering her chip as lost. I set up dog beds on the porch and patio in the off chance the she’ll come home. I collapse on the couch, hoping for the best and try to get some sleep.

I spotted her again and jumped out with treats, but she takes off again and even with a car I can’t keep up and see where she goes. Tammy and I park and start canvassing on foot with headlamps and flashlights, up and down hills, through yards, and finally at 10pm we call it.

I ran up and down both avenues, knowing that the longer she’s away, the bigger the search radius gets. Tammy shows up in the car, I explain what’s going on and she takes me back the house to get the other vehicle and we start driving the neighborhood looking.

Down the hill, up a few blocks, through a neighbor’s backyard, and as I round a corner after losing sight of her, I see her across a meadow disappearing down a gravel trail. I follow at top speed, round a corner to a t in the trail and can’t see which way she went.

I went after her at a sprint, yelling her name, but I think the combination of my yelling and the plastic doggy bag holder dragging behind her spooked her enough to keep running. I chased her at a full sprint and she just kept making distance on me.

I was playing with her, on leash, hoping the “jostling” of running around the backyard would get her to pee. At one point while we were sprinting around she jerked the leash and it popped off my wrist. Next thing I know and she’s bolting.

We picked up our new girl at a foster in Salem and drove her home Sunday afternoon. We walked her around the perimeter of the house and then Tammy took her on a short walk of the neighborhood. The foster had said she didn’t like to pee on walks, so I took her out back when Tammy got home.

I just finished the Raksura series by Martha as well and recommend it too. It’s an interesting blend of world building with creative races, cultures, and conflicts. Fantasy? Sci-fi? Spec-fic? They’re a little of everything.

He came to one of our mfg facilities in the late 90’s w/ SpaceX tech team for an ERP software demo. He couldn’t stop staring at our purchasing manager’s chest and making the same, “It’s rocket science” joke over and over. He was super creepy then - only gets creepier with age.
