Postitve thoughts for the return of Coco. Your snow has finally made it to my door step. Hope it doesn't amount to too much but looks like a nasty night for us. Stay warm and just think how much furth... - friendfromcanada on Unaccustomed Activity (and Second Tango Winner)
Was she microchipped? That will help if someone takes her to a vet. In our area, when someone brings in an animal the first time they are automatically scanned. I check the site hourly, hoping for a... - lattelady on Unaccustomed Activity (and Second Tango Winner)
It is cold and snowy here too. I am reminded to pray for Coco and her return to your home every time I head out with the puppy. We will continue to hope for the best for all of you. The best being Coc... - Katharina on Unaccustomed Activity (and Second Tango Winner)
