Good News!

The lost dog is home! "Ruger" the chocolate lab likes to roam, according to his owners, Frances Prevost and family. He's used to making the rounds late at night and returns usually in the wee hours. Last night when he ventured to Stu and Jeanne Gruggel's on Narrows Drive, he looked lost and confused - but that may have been a ploy to get a pat or two or a treat. He might have rested a bit and then, while they were sleeping, he'd have been on his way and arrived home as usual. However, being kind souls, the Gruggels thought he was a waif in need of shelter, so they let him stay on their porch for the night and put out the word.

This morning at church, Jeanne learned his story and was able to return him to the Prevosts.

Thank you for caring, Jeanne and Stu. We sure got the community buzzing last night, and Jeanne commented this morning about what a great "network" of caring people we have here at the Pond. We're happy Ruger is home, and you can bet most folks along the East Shore will recognize him now if they spot him on his nightly jaunt.
