I am now thinking that this is also a species of BoP that I see in my sister's Browncroft neighbourhood. Who knew Suburbia could be so exciting!

At last! MAK and Donna - and others? - are up on the other side of the pond! I am in the midst of cleaning the post-Christmas detritus, decor, needles, ornaments that were forgotten and did not get into the storage box, which means we have to dig out the storage boxes - aaaa-gain! So - yaaaaay that there is finally someone to talk to!

Slainte!

I am very much enjoying the recent raptor pieces and pix. The Coop photo, the Merlin, and now Sharp-shinned Hawk. Maybe these will help me with ID-ing...

I'd be doggone if my dog was missing for 5 years and found him on my doorstep, I certainly would NOT leave him outside!!! Yeah happy ending but come on! I don't care if he was matted, flea-ridden or whatever....hugs all around.  wave

Ditto on that Donna!  He would have been in the house for sure so as not to lose him again. gum

Moi aussi!

Doggone!
_____

A California woman says her pet dog, missing for the past five years, amazingly appeared on her front porch. She says while she never forgot him, she certainly never expected to see him again after five years and moving four times.

Myrna Carrillo and Prince are just getting reacquainted.

It's been five long years since Prince went missing from Carrillo's mom's house. She got the shih tzu when he was just a puppy and had him for three years.

Myrna says, "I was really attached to him, so ever since then I thought about him and we talked about if we were ever to see him again but I guess he's been in town."

Carrillo lived at home and was not married when she lost Prince. Since then she's moved four different times all around town.

Yet somehow, yesterday Carrillo came home from work and found the dog on her doorstep, and she had to do a double take.

Myrna says, "I thought I was seeing something. I just hope no one is playing a prank on me."

It sounds hard to believe, but looking at the pictures of Prince, it's hard to deny the resemblance.

Myrna's husband, Refugio, says, "It would be hard to believe it wasn't him."

Carrillo says not only did they all recognize Prince, but he recognized them and although she left him outside last night, he never left her doorstep.

Carrillo's two boys are already getting as attached to Prince as their mom once was and the family says especially after the journey he must have taken to find them, Prince is destined to become one of the family.

Yes, good piece and pix. Have never seen a Merlin here either and would love to. I have read about the Nations Road area but have yet to visit. Maybe when I am home in Spring?? (Hint...)

Sounds good Bobbie. We'll go there too! wave

Yaaaaaay! I am all set, MAK!
