Safe and Sound

It was some time on Wednesday that my dad mentioned that our dog Sydney had not been around that morning to eat. If there's one thing that Sydney looks forward to each day (more than chasing the cats around, that is!), it is eating. Actually, she doesn't eat the food, it's more like she inhales it without chewing. Anyway, when my dad mentioned that, we both realized that the yard had been a lot quieter and there was much less excitement since some time on Tuesday. Yesterday we were starting to worry as there have been a number of dog abuse incidents happening around our area in the past few weeks. Much to our relief, Sydney reappeared Thursday evening. We don't have a clue where she disappeared to and what adventures she partook of, but we are thankful to have her back again! She returned a bit calmer (though that may change in a few days!) and with muddy front legs, but otherwise, it looks like we've got Sydney back again, safe and sound.
