Spinoni

What is going on?
Yesterday my inbox, and yahoo lists were filled with postings for 3 different lost dogs. One of the dogs has been found after being hit by a car and I am waiting for an update of how Cheyenne, an Italtian Greyhound mix rescue is doing at the ER.

Stetson, a 1 year old Beagle was lost in the woods in New Gloucester over the weekend.

Please call 207-657-6058. He was wearing an orange collar with tags.

A 6 month old Spinone was lost Friday night after she and her Champion Mom bolted in a storm. The mother was shot and killed by a hunter. Here is an edited email I received . All lost dog stories are heartbreaking, but this one really got to me.

Missing Spinone in the Standish, ME, area. Her name is Nova and she's
been missing since Friday. She is orange and white and is just 6
months old.
It's with a heavy heart that I let you all know my wonderful Fendi
( CH Risky Business Fender Bender) was shot by a hunter yesterday... .
Unfortunately she and her pup Nova escaped Friday morning while I had
them outside....a new cat next door caught Fendi's attention and off
they ran. The weather was terrible, rainy and high winds and I knew
as I ran after them they wouldn't hear me. I called the local
authorities and shelters to report them missing and passed out
fliers. The game warders called me yesterday... I knew they didn't
have good news....The hunter has been charged as he obviously did not
identify his target and...well.. ..it's charges they are pursing.
Still in all this we have NOT found the pup. Again we will search
today and hand out more pictures and info in hopes someone will find
her. I'm not familiar with the territory so trekking far into the
woods is a bit scary. At least I feel a bit more safe in the woods
today as it's Sunday. Please, just think
positive thoughts we find Nova. Fendi was such a good dog, so
loving...such a big , funny Spinone. I miss her terribly..
