The Crawford County Humane Society foster home wisely gave him his name of Romeo, yet, we weren't sure if it was chosen because he was a lover/ that he roamed/ both. Even when he roamed, he always came home...
Romeo's snout had turned white |
I called and called his name throughout the afternoon and even drove the car in desperation while it was still light calling his name up and down our 2 mile lane and up to the highway.
Romeo's been gone 9 hours now as I write this. It's dark and we have had a couple of rain showers throughout the afternoon. Romeo hates thunderstorms but these were just light rains. My hope was that he took refuge somewhere to kept dry/warm. But why hasn't he come home?
Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo?
I can only think the worst and appreciate the great companion he has been for the past 12 years. Guarding the livestock and us from coyotes and other critters. He has had his run ins with raccoons, possum, feral cats and of course the occasional skunk.
Oh Karen, I am so so sorry to read this. It is anguish to have a pet missing and wonder if they are ok somewhere else or what may have happened. How old is he? My heart is in my throat with pain for you and what you're experiencing.
ReplyDeleteWe have done that in the past, we have driven our car, searching, called our dog's name, involved other people in the search. It is a frantic, sick feeling. I hope he either comes home or died of natural causes somewhere.
ReplyDeleteHoping he was just out scouting and will be home soon. Thinking of you.
