Today is my birthday and all I wanted was to find Bubbles, a dog from yorkierescueme.com who had bolted from her new owner a week ago. So, I went to Maryland yesterday to join a group of searchers to make one last big effort to find her. I didn't have much hope but Laura, a wonderful tracker from missingpetpartnership.org had tracked Bubbles to the edge of a horse farm on Wednesday and we set out to look for Bubbles there.
To our shock, we walked practically straight to where Bubbles was hiding in a gully on some old blankets (area at the top of the picture). She still had her pink leash on and that was trailing out of her hiding place. In the map you can see how far she was from the house at the bottom.
Bubbles was weak and had lost a lot of weight but she seemed happy to be found and even wagged her tail when she got back home, despite all the hubbub around her.
We also got a lot of tips from this site:

Last but not least, I want to thank Donnita and Sarie. The group at the Yorkie rescue met Donnita through me (and, of course, I know Donnita from flickr) and included her on the email that they sent out asking for help in finding Bubbles. Donnita found the pethunter and sent the information to the group, and that is how we knew where to even start looking.
I am so happy that it all worked out. Happy Birthday to me!!

I gave my Wife a Kodak M1093 IS Camera for Christmas. This is a photo she took of her nephew. I thought it was rather creative of her! :D
