THE MISSING JIJI SAGA.....PART TWO
WELL,YESTERDAY I GAVE YOU PART ONE OF THE MISSING JIJI STORY UP TO THE POINT OF THE WET DECK, DOGS AND RUNNING HOSE.AS I GLANCED AROUND ME IN TOTAL CONFUSION I DID A DOGGIE HEAD COUNT AND REALIZED I WAS SHORT ONE HEAD...JIJI. I TOOK A QUICK GLANCE AT THE GATE BUT IT WAS STILL SHUT. BUT I FIGURED SHE HAD SLIPPED OUT WHEN WHOEVER PERFORMED THE MISCHIEF ON THE DECK WAS BUSY DOING THEIR THING WITH THE WATER. AND IF THEY WERE SPRAYING THE DOGS SHE WOULD HAVE FREAKED. SHE MOVES LIKE GREASED LIGHTENING SO SHE WOULD BE OUT BEFORE THEY COULD STOP HER.SO I IMEDIATELY WENT OUT TO THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE EXPECTING TO SEE HER IN THE SIDE YARD ( ONCE BEFORE SHE GOT OUT BUT JUST STAYED IN THE YARD). NO DOG!! I THEN FRANTICALLY RAN UP AND DOWN THE STREET AND SIDE ROAD CALLING HER AND CRYING....NO DOG. I RAN BACK TO THE YARD THINKING THAT MAYBE I JUST DID NOT SEE HER IN THE YARD. NO LUCK. I RAN CALLING AGAIN GETTING MORE AND MORE UPSET WITH EACH PASSING SECOND!!ONCE I REALIZED THAT SHE WAS GONE I CALLED THE RADIO STATION. THEY RUN A MSSING/FOUND ANIMAL SEGMENT SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. THE POOR MAN TRYING TO GET MY INFO, I WAS BLUBBERING AND COULD HARDLY MAKE MYSELF UNDERSTOOD BUT HE WAS VERY PATIENT. I HUNG UP FROM HIM AND WAS READY TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN THE RADIO GUY CALLS BACK. HE WANTS A PICTURE OF JIJI TO PUT ON THEIR WEBSITE. I AGREE AND SEND HIM ONE IN THE NEXT HALF HOUR. I ALSO PUT IN THE MISSING DOG AD A REWARD OF $100.00 DOLLARS.NEXT CALL...THE POLICE...A NICE, YOUNG POLICEMAN ARRIVES IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES ( GREAT RESONSE TIME FOR HERE). HE VIEWED THE DECK WHICH I HAD LEFT UNTOUCHED EXCEPT TO SHUT OFF THE HOSE. HE COULD NOT MAKE SENSE OF THE MESS EITHER. WE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE SOMEONE WANTED THE YORKIE ( THEY ARE NOW THE # ONE DOG TO OWN AND THEY ARE NOT CHEAP!!). THEY USED THE HOSE TO KEEP THE OTHER DOGS AWAY IN CASE THEY WOULD BIT. THEN I SAID NO, I THINK THIS IS A KIDS PRANK DUE TO THE BEDS, TOYS AND STUFF ALL OVER THE PLACE INCLUDING ONE BED ON TOP OF THE BARBEQUE. SO WE WERE LEFT WITH GRAND THIEF OR A PRANK THAT WENT BAD!!! WE WALKED SOME OF THE NEIGHBOURHOOD AND ASKED PEOPLE IF THEY HAD SEEN ANYTHING AND THEY HADN'T. HE ASKED IF I HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY NEIGHBOURS. BEFORE I COULD RESPOND HE LOOKED AT THE LOCATION OF OUR LAND AND NOTICED WE REALLY DO NOT HAVE ANY CLOSE NEIGHBOURS.WHILE HE WAS WITH ME HE ALERTED ANIMAL CONTROL AND TOLD THEM THAT THE DOG HAD BEEN EITHER LET OUT OR STOLEN AND TO KEEP THEIR EYES OPEN. HE TOLD THEM HE WOULD BRING THEM A PICTURE. BEFORE HE LEFT HE GAVE ME A STATEMENT PAPER TO FILL IN AND ASKED TO HAVE A PIC OF JIJI. HE WOULD COME BACK AROUND SUPPER TIME.OH, I FORGOT, BEFORE I CALLED THE POLICE I CALLED MY GAL PAL, NATALIE AND SHE CAME DOWN IMMEDIATELY. I ALSO CALLED MY HUSBAND AND HE CAME HOME FROM WORK.NEXT, I MADE UP ABOUT 100 POSTERS WITH HER PICTURE, INFO ON HER LOOKS AND A REWARD OF $100.00. NATALIE AND MICHAEL WENT THROUGH OUT THE TOWN POSING THESE IN STORES AND ON SIGN POSTS IN WELL TRAVELLED AREAS. ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER THE POSTERS WENT UP WE RECEIVED A CALL THAT SOMEONE HAD SPOTTED HER IN THE INDUSTRIAL PARK IN A WOODED,AND HIGH GRASS AREA. NAT TOOK HER DOG AND SHE AND MICHAEL DID A THROUGHT SEARCH OF THE AREA. IT IS FULL OF PATHS AND 4 WHEELER TRIALS. THEY WERE GONE WELL OVER AN HOUR BUT NO JIJI!!DURING THIS WHOLE TIME I AM A TOTAL WRECK...I CRIED SO HARD I HAD A HEAD ACHE. I CRIED ALL DAY.AROUND 3:15 P.M. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM A LITTLE GUY, ABOUT 10, HE WALKS THE SIDE ROAD TO SCHOOL EACH DAY. HE TOLD ME THAT WHEN HE WENT BY IN THE MORNING JIJI WAS ON THE DIRT ROAD ( PEDISTRIAN TRAFFIC ONLY). HE KNEW HER AND SAID HE KNEW SHE WAS SUPPOSE TO BE INSIDE THE FFENCE WITH THE OTHER DOGS. HE SAID HE TRIED TO CATCH HER BUT SHE RAN REALLY FAST. HE CHASED HER ALL THE WAY TO HIS HOUSE, WHICH IS DOWN THE BACK ROAD, ACROSS THE TRACKS AND TO SPRING ST. ( A VERY BUSY AREA). I SAID TO HIM THAT HE MUST HAVE BEEN LATE FOR SCHOOL. HE ADMITTED THAT HE DID NOT ARRIVE AT SCHOOL UNTIL 9:30. I HAVE BEEN AROUND KIDS FOR 30 YEARS AS A TEACHER AND KNOW THEM WELL. I FELT THAT THE PART HE HAD TOLD ME WAS THE TRUTH. BUT I ALSO FELT HE LEFT OUT SOME OF THE INFO FROM THE BEGINNING AND HOW JIJI GOT OUT!! I THOUGHT THAT HE AND SOME BUDDIES DECIDED TO HAVE A LITTLE FUN AND SO THE DID THE PATIO STUFF AND BY ACCIDENT JIJI ESCAPED. AND THEN HE PANICKED AND CHASED HER.NEAR SUPPERTIME THE POLICEMAN CAME BACK.........HERE ENDS PART TWO OF THE SAGA OF JIJI. STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!!!
