For all of you who don't know - we have 2 beagles. Sully is 6 and
Murphy is 4. They both like to run away but usually don't run that far.
Last night they both got out - the back gate was open somehow.
Brendan was, of course, away - I was trying to get the kids ready for
bed before the babysitter got here so I could go to a meeting. Sully
came back - Murphy disappeared. We all piled in the car and drove
around looking for him - no dice. It's like looking for a very small,
very fast needle in a giant haystack. I really thought he'd come back
but he didn't. We made signs and walked around our neighborhood posting
them this morning. We happened to stumble upon a man whose wife was
walking their dogs with a neighbor last night and they caught Murphy.
Unfortunately he was already at Fairfax County Animal Shelter which is
45 minutes away. We had to drive all the way down there and pay to get
him out of hock. He was pretty contrite - who knows if dogs get scared
but if they do I have to imagine he probably was. All's well now -
everyone's home - with new licenses!
