Another Heart Breaker....

A couple weeks ago Grady ran away. We think that he followed my car when I went to drop Hayden off at preschool. That was the day that Jeremy and I had to go to south Carolina for a conference. So, Jeff tracked him down at the pound. Apparently a cop had picked him up at an apartment complex a little over a mile away-across 138!! Well, I guess he got a taste of the world outside of his 1 mile electric fence area....and he liked it. He ran away again on Saturday. This time he wasn't lucky enough to roam the streets unharmed. Jeremy found him on the side of the road while he was on his way home from work this morning. He was about a half mile from our house headed away from 138. At first he wasn't sure if it was Grady because he didn't have his collars on, but I asked him to go back and make sure-I just needed to know. Jeremy found the collars about 15 feet from Grady's body-so now we are sure that it's him. This whole time that he was gone I never even thought about the fact that he could have gotten hit. I just figured that we'd call the pound when they opened today and he'd be there. I never expected Jeremy to say that he saw him on the side of the road. Poor pup....
