I almost forgot. Zookeeper, thank you. Both dogs have good sturdy collars with a name tag riveted on them with our address and phone number - I can't imagine that they could have both lost their collars. We have been checking at the pound anyway, though. I'm thinking about making some posters to put up around town tomorrow. My biggest fear is that they're never coming back... someone shot them, a coyote got them, or they got into it with the pack of strays I've seen around lately (the strays also tried pretty hard to get to my chickens). It will be a week tomorrow that they've been gone. It breaks my heart. I guess all I can do is continue to search for them and pray that we will find them.
Ok... sorry for hi-jacking the the thread. Back to quilting!
