A DOG STORY…

Bailey, a female Jack Russell puppy found her forever home with us thirteen years as a companion for our 10 year old son Mason. Mason has now graduated from college and has moved away and has a dog of his own now in Atlanta. So Bailey stayed with us and sleeps 20 hours a day and a recent ear infection has left her deaf. She’s had a good life, and for ten years she and the neighbors dog Duke shared yards enclosed by an invisible fence. Duke passed away a few years ago and the neighbors were good enough to let Bailey still share their yard. However the other day my wife calls me at work and says she can’t find Bailey anywhere and has been looking for an hour. I encourage her to keep looking but when I return home from work five hours later still no sighting of Bailey , so I join the search along with some other neighbors. At this point it’s getting stressful as we are thinking the worst. Getting tired of beating the bushes, I put on my thinking cap and start thinking where she could possibly be? I think she must be trapped somewhere or she would have made it home by herself. Then I think she must be trapped in our neighbors garage . Our neighbors hadn’t been at home thought out this ordeal so I call them at work and get the pass code for their garage door. Hope in hand , I open the garage door thinking Bailey will be there to greet me. However no Bailey in sight. Then remembering she’s deaf I search the garage. Much to my delight, I find her sleeping in a box along the back of the garage. She’s groggy and sweaty from being in the hot garage for seven hours but she’s happy to see me as always maybe more so this time. The people of south west Florida love their dogs and I am happy to have a happy ending to my dog story for them. So stop by All American Coin some time and I’ll listen to your dog story.
