On a drive home from downtown Lafayette last week, we saw a tiny chihuahua with a pink collar shirking along the road, and since she had no tags, we took her home. Despite all our postings online and posters placed along the trail, we still couldn't find her owners. So at 9pm, we took her to our local vet and had her scanned -- they found a name and a disconnected phone number, which gave us enough to start Googling and calling late that night. As it turns out, the original owner died a few months ago and her new owners, who live a block away and apparently don't turn on their computer, eventually saw our posters and claimed her. Tootsie was a great guest, very happy, and a sound sleeper -- never thought I'd be sad to see a chihuahua go!
