The Kerry alert posted at 4:45 pm this afternoon has ended in a successful
recovery of the missing big blue dog. As it turns out, Tucker was
not kidnapped by the Dalmatian Rescue society but rather had concocted his
own grand scheme to test the Kerry alert system by feigning his own mysterious
disappearance. Seeing the opportunity of an open gate left by his
now favorite gardener, the big blue headed for open ground. Unfortunately
for him, his choice of captures consisted of a young neighbor and her two
year old son. Tucker could not resist the lure of such immanent attention
and instead of running, begged for just one last scratch behind the ear.
That was all it took. Before he new it, he was being held captive
in the dog rescue area of the local homeowner’s security compound.
Realizing that his plan had failed, he attempted to bribe the guard with
promises of enduring love and affection. Again his ten months of life
did not prepare him for the real world practice of giving a substantial
bonus given to the local security during the holidays in anticipation of
just such an occurrence. What a surprise he had to find that the Kerry
Blue Rescue Society had foiled his planed escape literally before he had
even conceived the idea. A call to the 800 number, one to Janet one
to Jan, another to Jo, one to Eileen and even a forwarded response from
a clueless attorney lead to the return of the big blue dog. What joy.
The moral of the story: When you are promised the best life has to
offer, bite the hand that feeds you, run like hell and pray that there is
a Kerry Blue Rescue Society that will forgive you for all your faults.
After all, he is a Kerry Blue.
Thanks All.

Can you forward this to all those who helped get our little Tucker back.
By the way. I took him into the office this morning to show Jo.
He was the hit of the office. He is so gentle, he is not afraid of
people, he and Katie play for ever, he doesn’t bother the cats and
to watch him and Katie on a leash together is most precious. I think
we got the jewel of the rescue. I’ll take some more pictures
tomorrow and send them to you. We will be dog proofing the run to
eliminate any possible escape routs.
Thanks again

Thought you would like a couple of pictures of Tucker.
We finally had sun tonight. He is doing well.
What a baby. He and Katie are doing well.
