Hannah and Muffin, neat picture

This is a fun picture, I tried to line them up. I had to zoom way in with Photoshop, thats one reason that the picture is fuzzy. But its a cute one of our girls.

I love daylilies, as you can see.

this morning.

This could be a lifesaver

I dont usually advertise stuff here, but this could be a great thing for people who have dogs who like to take off.

Muffin loves to canoe

Muffin loves to go canoeing with us. She is getting old, so has begun to really dislike our little motorboat unless the sea is really calm.

part 2 of Hannah's rescue

The people who are responsible for saving Hannah, are Robert and Michelle Masuret.
They phoned us and guided us, waited for our vehicles to arrive, and sent us in the right direction to Hannah's whereabouts.
We have been in contact this evening, and I needed their permission to put their name here on my blog.

So this is the most amazing thank you that this family has ever done! They saved Hannah!
Our 4 and half year old grandson, Max, is so happy! He has been asking all day where his doggie is.
So this will be continued tomorrow with more pictures, weve been up all night looking for her, and this day has been rather emotional, so I will be signing off now for the evening.

Hannah saved by Photoshop

Story with a happy ending

Here is quite a story, and it ended happily thanks to Photoshop, my Mac, and cell phones.
Last night I was about to take Hannah and Muffin for their evening walk, let them out onto the porch, came indoors to get the leashes. But before I got back out, fireworks let off, and Hannah took off.
We looked all night for her, driving, walking, bicycling, me sitting on our chimney calling and whistling.
Then at 0530 Richie took off in the truck calling and calling.
Then I started calling dog officers, local vets, friends, everybody at about 0830.
Then fired up Photoshop, and made these posters and put them all over town.
At about 330 some people here on vacation from NH had seen the poster that Julie had just put up in the West Falmouth market. As they exited the highway and came by the overpass, they saw Hannah heading along the roadside. They called me when they saw the sign in the store, we dispatched the whole family(4 cars) and found her in the woods at Bourne's Farm.
How many miles had that poor doggie gone?
So this is how my Mac, Photoshop, and cell phones saved Hannah's life.
Here is a picture of the poster. So the moral of this story, if a pet ever gets lost, get as many pictures posted where the most people can see them, as FAST as you can.
