We got Fluff back! She ran off yesterday, but we didn't notice until dinner time, and her usual pointed "Why haven't you fed me yet?" looks were conspicuous by their absence. We all assumed she had been taking her afternoon nap behind the sofa, but we called for her through the house and she didn't turn up. We walked the streets for a couple of hours, calling for her, but she didn't turn up, so we came back home. We girls made posters, Dad phoned a bunch of institutions, and Mum drove further afield to check various parks and ovals. This morning, though, there was a knock at the door, and there was a man with Fluff. He owns three Bichons himself, and his mother, who lives just down the road from him and who had been looking after Fluff, owns two. They had made a "Dog Found" poster, and were just sticking it on their bin, when they were spotted by a man walking his dog. Dad and I had met him last night when we were searching, and had asked him whether he'd seen Fluff, and he took our address and said that he'd keep an eye out. He gave our address to the man who was sticking up the poster, and he came right over to return her. We're going out now to get her a collar and name-tag, and to get her chipped.
