Bad Dog!

My sweet girl has been very bad lately and I'm at a loss as to what to do. Starting to believe that there is nothing I can do.

In a span of a week, Bentley caught and killed 9 animals....3 rabbits, 2 squirrels, 3 birds and 1 rat. It's not enough that she catches them and kills them....she has to run around with them and chew on them as if they are a stuffed play toy with a squeeker.

I might add that she caught 2 of those animals while being tied up.

One thing I have noticed about Bentley is that she is quite smart and very fast. I believe she is just doing what comes naturally. The problem is that it's NOT natural for me to get dead animals away from her or off the ground. Can't do it............won't do it!

Any suggestions? Please let me know!

Will update you on the house situation just as soon as I have the emotional fortitude to do so!

She's home!!!

We give dogs time we can spare,

space we can spare

and love we can spare. And in return,

dogs give us their all.

It's the best deal man

ever made.

Bentley is home! I am so thankful and I believe that she is too.

Thanks to the kindness of strangers, she was safe the entire time she was gone. A man in my neighborhool found her in his yard and took her to a local vet. He then posted signs up and down a main street regarding a dog that has been found....... So nice of him and the vet that kept her until I came for her.

During this process, I have heard "She is just a dog...." - I know that and I would have been a person saying that in the past, but she is more than a dog to me. She is my loyal companion, she makes me laugh, she is there when I cry and I feel her love for me. Dogs are amazing and wonderful.

In the search for Bentley I had to go to the pound. Oh, my.......so sad to see so many beautful, sweet dogs there. Don't get a dog if you aren't going to care for it. They feel pain, loneliness, etc....I hated seeing them in cages. Open your hearts to a pet....go to the pound and get a dog. They will love you for your kindness and your life will never be the same.

What a journey in 24 hours. I appreciate all the concern from my family and help from my sister. I am thankful to all who prayed and especially to the friend who cared enough to pray with me at 5 in the morning.

I am blessed.

Incredible Journey???

I hope NOT.

I came home tonight to no dog in the backyard. A moment I will not soon forget. I searched for her for hours....mascara down my face....my pride out the window - with the panic a mom would have for her two legged child if he or she was missing, but my four legged girl is still MIA.

MIA without a collar (Found that in the backyard in two pieces) and in the cold. I hope and pray that she comes home. My fear is that someone has her and with no identification, it would be near impossible to get her back.

I am going to trust that she is having a great time and will be home soon. The door is open, the light is on. The prayers are going out......

Cut that Incredible Journey short and get your tail home!

Going to be tough not waking up to her in the morning.
