    it's weird he never got picked up by the dog warden. i've just spent the last couple of weeks getting weight back onto an emaciated boxer bitch and i found a cup of puppy meal 3/4 times a day, mixed with either 2 scrambled eggs or tuna in sunflower oil really worked at filling her out

    I'm so happy for you, and I'm sure he'll be spoiled with so many hugs :)

    Thrilled for you! Like many other been following this without posting - and every day putting myself in your shoes and just feeling sick!
    When I was a child the dog at home was missing for 3 or 4 whole days in horribly icy, snowy conditions. He was a terrible ramber and was often missing for a few hours - but this time he didn't come back and didn't come back and every evening I'd race out from school to my father to see if he was home - I still remember trying to run on the iced over path to get to the car as fast as possible. He was a collie and was always thin, so he wouldn't have much to survive on. He turned up late one night - can still remember my father calling me out to him. He was thinner than ever, but not starving thin.
    Many, many months later I discovered a neighbour had brought him in and minded him for those days and was on about how thin he was etc - I sat next to the daughter for sewing and it came up in conversation one evening. I was aggrieved that they thought the dog wasn't fed properly, but at least we knew where he'd been!
    I bet someday you'll find more out too!
    That particular dog continued to go on his little forays for the rest of his life, but never again for longer than an hour or two.
    And he's probably the reason I lose my own reason if either of my current 2 are out of sight for very long!!
    Enjoy!!

    This is just fantastic to hear, Charlie went missing around the same time my 14 year old cat died so I was really feeling your loss and willing for some good news. Every time I saw the thread since though was causing increasing dread.

    I am beyond happy for you that this ended so well. I can't imagine Charlie's relieve at being back with his family.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 311 ✭✭angry kitten


    Am delighted Charlie's home.

    I've been following this on here as well as FB.

    So very, very happy for you and the boy!

    YAY for Charlie!!:D:D:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 566 ✭✭✭Mollywolly


    I'm so thrilled to hear that Charlie's home with you again. I've been following this since the start and feared the worst - but hoped for the best! I've been bawling like a baby since I heard the news - it's absolutely brilliant!

    It seems as if all those people praying for his safe return did the trick.

    Big hugs and kisses to you both xxxx

    Charlie is one lucky dog, to have an owner who didn't give up hope and tried everything to get her beloved dog back. It must be like winning the lottery (only better):).
