So this morning we let Sam outside and out there in the backyard was this Chihuahua. Never seen it before. Sam was so excited and all she wanted to do was play. But the Chihuahua was frightened and not sure what to do. We got Sam inside the house and then tried to capture the Chihuahua. I only got close once to catching her/him, but in the end we had to call the police/animal control for the city. It was too frightened and we weren't going to be able to catch it and Sam was stressing out.
The cop got there and said they would keep it for 5 days and then put it to sleep if it wasn't recovered by it's owner. We didn't want to do that. So he said it was fine if we kept it in our backyard for now and tried to find the owner ourselves. The cop went one block over to ask the families over there if they knew who's dog it was, but they only knew one house on that block with Chihuahua's. They were not missing one.
So by the time the cop came back the dog had squeezed through the fence post and escaped and was gone. Nothing we could really do.
Then at about 5:30 t0night, it returned! It was sitting in the gardens in the front yard. Ran off again. Then it was spotted sleeping in the weeds in the lot behind our house a little bit later, ran off. Then it was spotted again running down the street behind our house and going back into the lot. We put out a bunch of food and water. So hopefully we will be able to catch this little guy and give him a nice home.

he looks so sad...
that is a very odd thing. i wonder where he belongs.
She is pretty afraid of things right now. I hope she warms up to everyone and thing.
No idea where she belongs. People have said they've seen her running around for a while. So who knows.
