My brother and I went out in a rowboat, using the oar to break through the ice, to rescue the dog. Probably a stupid thing to do, but there was no way we could stand on shore and watch Mickey drown.Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716443587185617804.post-30931270109150568532009-12-07T20:35:42.387-06:002009-12-07T20:35:42.387-06:00That's the sweetest thing!

A lot of people would have just left her there.<br /><br />I've never had to wrangle any animals, really, but my two little brothers love to vanish as soon as you turn around, so I spend plenty of time chasing after them.

We spent many days chasing her. We finally figured out that she can't resist climbing in a car, so we started jumping in the car to catch her, then she would hop in. I still don't know how she managed not to get hit all those times.Roni Lorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719679344024635326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716443587185617804.post-17737885179434600222009-12-07T12:39:10.063-06:002009-12-07T12:39:10.063-06:00Good for you.

Sophie's lucky you cared enough to watch over her, even if she wouldn't cooperate (stubborn little thing)! :-)<br /><br />The last animal I "caught" on the run was a very playful yellow lab puppy who was running around on his own while I was walking one of my dogs. My Lucy slipped her harness to go play with him, so I spent a good 30 minutes chasing both of them trying to get my dog back. There are no sidewalks in our neighborhood, so we were all running in the street (thankfully little traffic). Finally some nice man stopped and helped me catch Lucy, but we had no idea where the pup belonged. He followed us all the way home, where I could finally corner him long enough to get the number off his collar. I called the owners to come get him while he played in the backyard with Lucy. <br /><br />That adrenaline rush is something else, isn't it?Jamie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05486427517423813962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716443587185617804.post-54696084587575296982009-12-07T11:40:55.348-06:002009-12-07T11:40:55.348-06:00Glad the story had a happy ending.Glad the story had a happy ending.DawnBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01832968456583190918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716443587185617804.post-51167154878984589832009-12-07T11:23:50.539-06:002009-12-07T11:23:50.539-06:00You're quite the hero!
