Only 30 minutes? I can't count the cumulative hours I've spent waiting for the Dachshund or Lab to quit running and come back. The Weasel was worse- and took longer!

I can't wait to get doggy again!!! smile

Damned wiener dog is where I learned the possum trick. POS Huskie is where I learned to be careful when you snatch 'em by the scruff!

Well, maybe, I'm a bit doggy.. Generally they are about a half step ahead of me. At that, I read them better than I do people. Not to be confused with people who actually understand and train them.

After 7 years here, I haven't a clue to most of the neighbor's (within 3 blocks) names (I've been introduced) here in Kotz, but I know their dogs' names. And most (not one, tho) of them have offered to let me walk their dogs on leash. Some off leash out of town.

Except for Rex, I don't.

No need to clutter my old brain with extraneous information like people's names...I can live with that. smile

A couple months ago I was dropping my wife off at the air terminal, and there was this big Lab running around inside- scaring some people (Some Eskimos fear dogs- having experience only with "sled-dogs", usually kept chained and not well acclimated to strangers, i.e. defensive of their space - the length of their chains.)

"Rex- come with me". We went 4 blocks home, Rex at heel, uncommanded. He is my next door neighbor's dog, and we have an understanding. We adore each other. He's a smart bugger too- and vastly undertrained/appreciated.

You know how confined dogs will resist re-confinement? Sometimes when Rex is loose unsupervised, I'll go over , unkink his chain, and call him over. He ill think about it for a few seconds, then slink over, head down, and let me put his collar back on. That's a DOG! He is of configuration that collars short of a chain collar, doesn't fit well... so he slips it often.

He growled at me the first time I met him. 3 milk bones later we were fast buddies. He got to the point that when my Lab (now deceased) stole his bones, he wouldn't object. He would just look at me and grumph- knowing I'd get it back for him.

One day when my wife was taking our Lab out for a walk, she had the dog on leash, doors opened, when she went back for her gloves or scarf or something. She started to yell at Tripper Lab for pointing the milk bone box, when she realized the leash was going out the doors.

I have no idea how Rex knew where the milk bone box was kept...... smile

If Cris ever wants to let him go.....

Dog looks good natured and that breed usually friendly, how about another dog in the back of the truck? Bring the dog out of the truck, then put him back in the bed, see if the stray will follow.

Same thing happened to me. Dog didn't know whether to follow the truck, run uphill or down, just confused. Skinny as heck. Fed him and got his photo. Posted it on Craigslist lost and found and maybe Facebook. My wife went on the local website for the shelters and found a photo posted of a lost dog that matched. We got ahold of them thru the shelter and told them approx where it was. They went up there and found him and posted it on Facebook.

Social media is a fantastic tool since so many people are active on it.

I'll bet if you can get close to it, you could give it a Sit command and slip a rope leash over it's head. I see a lot of dogs that are lost and confused until they have a leash on. It seems to give them a lot more confidence if they have a rope around their neck.

Keep trying. My best dog is out of a feral mama. It took some time for my wife to win over mama but she did. Mama got a home and we got one of her pups, Izzie. Great dogs all around. Rescue that yellow dog and you'll have a really loving dedicated loyal dog.

Do you know anyone with a stock/horse trailer?

They are low to the ground, easy to get into.

I wonder if she might step into the back of one of those to get food and water.

You could tie a lariat rope to the door and yank it shut from in front of the trailer. Might be far enough away so that she would not be skittish getting in the back to eat.

Then you could latch the gate and take her to town.

Just a thought.

Borrow a large have a heart type trap, local humane society or pound or shelter or vets probably has several. Bait it, drive off and she will go in and get caught

A dog has never hauled ass, never to be seen again until hunters found him in the middle of nowhere while hunting.
