Leelee is Found!

Leelee – dog of adventure, was found trotting along a busy road more than a mile and a half from home. When a passing motorist saw her, she stopped, alarmed and afraid that the dog would get hit. Opening the door, Leelee hopped right in, always eager to make new friends.

I’d spread the word of Leelee’s disappearance, putting up LOST signs all over the area, in general stores, on telephone poles, in the vets and at the shelter. Everyone I spoke with knew about the two other missing dogs, a blind and deaf spaniel, and an elderly terrier, who are both sadly still missing. It just goes to show the value of those LOST signs.

It had been 2 nights and 3 days.

Leelee is a time-shared dog. She spends most of her time with us out in the woods, and the rest of the time with her alternate father, a lobsterman, answering to her other name Little Baby Jesus. Together they spend lots of time on a private island with no roads and just baby seals to play with. She has a job out there which she takes very seriously, keeping the deer away from the owner’s roses. She has a big crew of carpenter friends who dote on her.

Yesterday the island guys were sharing a sad and mournful lunch, discussing the terrible event of the missing Baby. Then Cade, the youngster, took a look at his phone, and there on Facebook was a picture of Leelee!  His friend Jenna posted it! CALL HER everyone said! She told him the picture hadn’t even been up for 2 minutes! Hooray! An explosion of Happiness!

I thank everyone who kept Leelee/Baby in their thoughts, sharing Facebook posts and Tweeting like mad. I think it was through all our efforts and positive thoughts that our darling dog was found safe and sound.

Hooray for the wonders of Facebook! Hooray for Leelee’s many friends!
