Topic: Weirdness
I tell ya!! My life makes a great story!! :) Last night Cale cried to talk to Oma. Fine, talk to her. She then tells him that he can call Odie. Fine, we'll call Odie. Is it really a huge surprise that dad didn't answer his phone?? Nah, not a huge surprise. 10 minutes later he called back and said, "Carly's freaking out. Estee (their dog) is missing." So I throw the phone at Cale and go grab the first pieces of clothing I can find. I ran to my car to check my cell phone - 8 missed calls all from Carly. I call and she's absolutely hysterical. I kept telling her we'd find her, it would be ok, I'm headed over to help her look. 9 o'clock I am driving around mom and dad's neighborhood, windows down, spotlight searching houses like a police light yelling MESTY ESTEE!!! ESTEE GIRL?? Jason, Carly and I looked for about 2 hours. (while searching, I didn't find Estee, but found 1 skunk, 1 goose, 1 ra bbit and 2 teenagers making out on the grass behind a tree!) I then went home to help put Cale down, printed off 20 LOST signs and back I go. We drive around some more and then I started laminating signs (I'm a perfectionist,what can I say??). Carly and I put up signs.
Oh. . .let me interject here. Mom and dad were in Tulsa on business and were going to be there on Friday to look for a condo. Once mom caught wind of Estee's disappearance, she freaked and headed home. Somewhere inbetween looking and putting up signs mom showed,I'll say about 11:30pm.
This morning I wake at 8:30 to a lovely singing voice (that's what Cale does when he wakes up, sings and talks to his animals/friends), and I call mom. No word on Estee and Carly's gone back to put more signs and look around the neighborhood. Cale had a hearing screening (which he did fail) at 10:30 so mom and Carly go with me. We then ate lunch and decided to hit the animal shelter to make sure that she's not been picked up. No such luck but you can be sure that I will have a blinkie that says "Adopt A Pet!" Those poor animals!!
Carly is distraught by now, checking messages and calling all the shelters and vets. We get home and put Cale down and Carly and I go to make more signs. The phone rings. . .I RUN to get it and it's an unknown number. It's a woman asking if we lost a white dog. In a panic I say YES!! This woman happened to be on our side of town, doesn't even belong here, and Estee was running down a major road 1 mile from mom and dad's house, stopping traffic. We rush to get her and she won't move!! We believe she'd gotten clipped by a car and as of this writing, we're still waiting for the vet to call us back. We had brought her home, fed her and she wouldn't get up or move. Every time we touched her she yelped so that's when we rushed her to the vet.
She's safe and sound now, and I pray she's not too hurt. So is there a volunteer out there to have a drink for me?!?!? I need one!!
We've GOT to keep that darn dog in the yard!! She's such a spazz!!! Oh well, we love her and missed her and we're glad she's in good hands. Did I fail to mention that the vet's office saw her!?!? She had made it to their office but wouldn't let anyone near her, but they couldn't get close enough to see her tag. That darn dog was so close to home and safety, but she is just so spazzy and "cautious" to realize!! What a 24 hours!!!!
