Our 17 yr old poodle disappeared one night. We never saw him again. People tell me he went off to die, but he was in good health. The last time I saw him, he was messing around in the flower bed. The very worst is not knowing what happened to him. We live in a neighborhood where everyone knows everyone and no one saw him. He just disappeared. That was 5 yrs ago and not a day goes by that I don’t think about him. I just hope someone kind picked him up and gave him a good home. He had been with us since he was a puppy. He was blind and deaf. I only wish I had gone out and got him instead of waiting for him to come back to the door. I think he may have lost his way in the dark because he was blind. But he should have died with us.
You’re right.. “the very worst is not knowing.” That’s what bothers me and my wife the most. Thanks, JM
Sorry to hear about your poodle. You never know though. One day a small black dog appeared at my back door and would not leave. She was in excellent health, groomed and spayed. I tried everything to find the owners and I never could. She has an excellent home whoever lost or had to get rid of her.
