Mary

Baby Mary

I got back after a crappy Sams shift at 02.00 am last night  and as I drove down by the church I saw a skinny fox figure standing shivering by old Trevor's driveway
It wasnt a fox however but a
 rather traumatised Mary who had someway got through Alberts catflap when I was out.
She cried  like a baby when I picked her up and held her close
And as I type this she is lying Meg-like just under my chin.

I love that little dog
Hey ho

  7. How fortunate for you to have seen her there and how relieved and happy she'll have been. But will the dear little girl have learned her lesson? One can only hope.

    How wonderful you found Mary and brought her safely home again. Wish she'd learn to go back inside through Albert's flap if she insists on going out.

    The photo of you and baby Mary is adorable.

    Hugs!

  9. I hope she's OK. Thank goodness you found her when you did. Would a microchip catflap be a possibility? X

  15. Poor girl. She must have got a fright.

  16. Oh, poor thing!! She was probably so scared and alone. It was meant for you to find her after your crappy shift so you can share and we can all be reminded of the unconditional love of our pets....hugs to you both!

  20. So pleased that she hadn't gone far and that you saw her ( before you got home and found her gone...that would have been even worse! )Litter tray for Albert and closed cat flap when you aren't there maybe?

  21. Lovely photo! You look so butch!
    Caxton got lost in the woods one day... when I found him and picked him up he peed all down me with joy... (in case you're wondering - Caxton is a Jack Russell).

  22. Oh no! So glad she's safe x

  23. I'm glad she had the sense not to go too far.

  24. Gosh what a shock at that time of the morning! She was a clever girl to stand and wait for you though. 🙂Hopefully that was enough of a scare to stop her doing it again.

  25. Didn't you say a while ago that she'd got out through the cat flap? Perhaps it's time to have a locking catflap with a chipped collar for your cat or a locked catflap and a litter tray.
    You're just so very lucky you have got her back. Poor little traumatised dog. Please make sure that can't happen again.

  26. Poor girl - I'm glad there was a happy ending. She'll probably be sticking close to you for awhile.

  33. Years ago my 16 year old blind/deaf dog managed to escape from the garden. TWO weeks later I get a phone call from a Police Station twenty odd miles away!!
    Bloody thing, well when I picked him up he was quite unresponsive. I picked him up and put his head on my shoulder. While filing out the paperwork, he started sniffing my hair and then started screaming and peed al down my front, didn't stop screaming and crying for quite a while. Good job I loved him

      Unless John secures the cat flap of course she'll do it again! She loves him so obviously she'll get out to follow him if she can. Sadly next time it could be her corpse on the road he finds.

      There's nothing wrong in saying it how it is!

      Sometimes it needs the truth to hammer it home! Mary has been out through the cat flap before. That truth is that unless the cat flap is secured then the next time she could get run over. Which would you rather have - John with Mary to love or John grieving over his dead dog?
