In February 2008 someone went through our neighborhood and stole about 5 yorkies, including my Chewie. We posted signs and called animal clinics and shelters and I also called the microchip company that holds the registration to his chip and listed him as stolen....and then we waited and waited and waited. We even added a new fur boy to our home over Christmas named Levi. Well, this morning my husband got a call from an animal clinic about 20 miles away from us. They had Chewie!!!!!
I know there is some controversy about microchipping your fur babies, but it really does work! Chewie is proof of it.
It only took 19 months, but we have Chewie back! I am soooo excited. Unfortunately I am at work so I can't see him until this afternoon. My dh said that he is very plump and obviously did not lack food. Said his haircut is terrible, but Chewie is otherwise still extremely friendly and my girls are eating him up with affection. DH also said he doesn't remember his name and really can't tell whether or not he remembers him or the girls. I am curious as to how he will react to his old buddy, Milo, and then with our new yorkie puppy. Hopefully he is still sweet natured and loves all people and all animals. I am off tomorrow so will take him to my vet for a check up to make sure he's as healthy as dh says he looks.
It's going to be a long work day!! There are happy endings so I wanted to share mine.
