courtnek Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 Hello everyone!! I missed you all! Portland is a beautiful city, I love it everytime I go there, but I'm glad to be home and I have a story to tell. We went to a BBQ at a friends house on Wednesday. While we were grilling out, a shepherd/coyote mix wandered into her yard. She has cats, so we watched the dog to make sure she wasnt aggressive. SHE WAS SWEET AS PIE!! She jumped on the deck, we all petted her, but were concerned because all she had on was a choke collar, no taqs. My friend (TK) called her brother, who lives down the street, since she knows all the dogs in the area and hasnt seen this one before, and asked if he knew who owned her. (she lives out in the middle of nowhere). He sent his wife over to the new neighbors house, since he had seen a dog with that description shortly after they moved in. In the meantime, we were all spoiling this dog ROTTEN, petting her, playing with her, she was a GREAT dog, very well behaved. I told TK if no one came for her I was gonna take her home, and she said "OH NO!! If no one comes, she's MINE!!!!" (She's as bad as I am about stray animals....) anyway, about 20 minutes later, a lady shows up ON HORSEBACK (bareback at that) and thanked us repeatedly for fnding and keeping Maggie until she could come get her. This is all way out in the country, and dogs generally wander around and visit other homesteads cuz there is no real traffic to worry about. All the neighbors know each others dogs. Maggie was new to the area, and got confused about her surroundings, but once Kyla came and got her she was all happy again. The horse was a beautiful chestnut quarterhorse, very tame, everyone petted her and she was really good about it. So Kyla says "COME Maggie! Time to go home!" and Maggie jumps up and licks the horses face, and off they all went. I think I'm going to move to Portland...... Glad to be back!!! Tell me everything that's been going n!!
