FOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hazel is back home!

Some guys were out shooting this morning, three miles west of where Hazel was lost. They heard a dog barking; they found her and took her home. They said she drank her body weight in water, then jumped in their pool.

Even though M posted about Hazel on his gun forum, and a least a dozen guys went out looking for her, this was an unrelated group of shooters.

They found us through my posting on Pets911.

They got ahold of M when the kids and I were out, so we got a really great surprise when we came home from karate.

She's home! She's home! She's home!

Thanks for all the well wishes and good thoughts. And thanks to all those hunters/shooters who volunteered to scour the countryside looking for our dog.

Hazel is in her favorite "cave" right now, under M's computer desk.

Yay! I'm happy for the whole family. I'm glad this had a happy and quick ending.

Oh good!

If she doesn't have an ID tag, you can get them made while you wait at most of the big pet supply chains.

She was wearing her collar which had her Maricopa Co tags on it. We've gotten the name tags at Petsmart before (from the cool machine) but they actually wear out and become unreadable after a while.

Cabelas sells a dog collar with a nametag that is rivited to the collar. I might try one of those.

I guess cats go easier on them. Ours are in good shape.

It may be that a dog usually has several tags: rabies, county licenses, name, etc, so they strike or rub against each other.

Regardless Hazle's collar is getting a bit worn anyway, so I ordered her one of the riveted name collars from Cabelas.
