Late in the afternoon we published this Be On The Lookout for Meg, a big shepherd mix in a pink collar. An early morning e-mail from Carolyn Coleman tells us "Meg came home. She was asleep on the porch at 4 a.m." This was, as you may imagine, a load off for Carolyn and Richard -- they were petsitting for their traveling daughter when Meg bolted yesterday.
And, by the way, Meg didn't have a note explaining where she'd been, but at mid-morning she was getting a really vigorous shampooing. She apparently had not spend her "away time" paying attention to her grooming.
Here's yesterday's report, now, fortunately, no longer valid.
We have a late afternoon Be On The Lookout because of the circumstances.
The dog is Meg, a large tan and black females shepherd mix who "ran away this morning" in the Mockingbird/Abrams area in North Dallas. She was wearing tags and a collar. Call 214-827-3699 or 214-693-9965.
"The dog belongs to our daughter, who is on vacation," says Carolyn. "That is the saddest part; we are dog-sitting."
The dog lives about five miles north of the pet-sitting site, we're told. Signs are up, flyers are printed, doors have been knocked on. The folks are doing all the right stuff.
Richard Coleman said he went to the Dallas Animal Services shelter this afternoon and "looked at 200 dogs. They have a lot of dogs." He's going back again, he says.
Or, perhaps someone in the area will spot Meg taking it easy in the shade under some shrubbery.

this might be the dog our publisher saw today in the 6500 block of mccommas. he couldn't catch and hold the dog, but it might narrow down the search a bit.
