Our old dog
Just had to tell someone: we have (had) a dog, very old, stone deaf and with failing eyesight, her limit for walking is only a half mile or so, (did I hear, "my kinda dog")
We found her two and a half years ago on the side of Loch Ness all alone and miles from anywhere, and no one claimed her, so she made her home with us on the banks of Loch Ness.
She is a happy girl and always loved going for walks, but preferred to go for a drive in the car, (couldn't see the point of walking when you can get a lift!)
She went out two nights ago, as she has done hundreds of times. We live right out in the wilderness so we know she is safe to go out unsupervised, and with failing eyesight, she always stayed in the pools of light given out across the lawns by the house lights. That night she didn't come back inside. We began to look for her 2 minutes after she went out but we can't find her anywhere. She seems to have disappeared into thin air just as she appeared out of thin air when she first found us! but that's another story.
Two days since our Suki left us. We've searched everywhere, several times over, and now the house is empty. I still go out last thing at night, and race to open the door first thing in the morning as I have for the last two and a half years to let her out........... Must try and do some work.
We are just beginning to get used to the idea that she's not comming back almost 3 weeks since we saw her, just so bad not knowing where she went.
