Our neighbors next door had a lovely standard poodle bitch for many years. She died several months ago, and after grieving, a few days ago they got a new little guy, a black standard only 8 weeks old. Yesterday, they discovered that they had left their gate open and the puppy was gone. Everyone in the neighborhood searched for hours, by bike, by skateboard, by foot, and by car, but no sign of Beau. Last night he was found curled up in a cabinet in their spare bedroom on a pair of slippers, sound asleep, and totally unperturbed by all the fuss. There are some happy people in beautiful downtown Naples today. Pat Mack ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
