One Very Detailed “Lost Dog” Note
I’m not sure if what was left on my door a few days ago was a joke or not. It is the most detailed “lost dog” note I have ever seen, so detailed in fact that it is humorous (the note, but that someone lost their dog).
Check it out for yourself.

=============================
I’d like to point out that I do not find humor in the fact that someone may have lost their dog – hopefully they find him. I did find a bit of humor in the detail of this letter itself including the mentions of “coyote celebrations” and the fact that they would be willing to identify their poor dog by his fur. That’s why I thought I’d post it here.

Too bad he is a theist. If he had left religion out of it, I would have helped.

Wow. At first it sounded so sad and my heart went out to the owners. My heart still does but the following line and the lines there after made me think it was a joke or the person is a few tacos short of a combination plate.
“BY NOW HE COULD LOOK TERRIBLE – VERY, VERY THIN, BONES PROTRUDING ON RIBS, HIPS AND SHOULDERS, PROBABLY DEHYDRATED, PROBABLY WEAK, MAY EVEN BE INJURED!!!!”
What piqued my curiosity even more was that we share the same area code.
Keep me posted Dave.
