Me too!

Oh I so hope this is true...please let us know!

Just now read this!!! I can't wait to see an update. Praying that you are getting your miracle:)

Its 9:41 am and I'm waiting for my family to pick me up we are all going what a way to spend my brothers B-day :). It's been such a LONGGGGGGGGG night and this is the longest hour of my life!!!!!!!!!! I'm going crazy. So many things and questions come to my head. My mom offered to take Holly and Remy to her house till he checked ok from my vet since its been a year who knows if he is sick or has worms or something that might get the others sick.

Oh my gosh I can only imagine what you are feeling right now. I am hoping so much that this is your little Armani. *hugs*!!!!

Thank you for the update. VERY smart of you to place Remy and Holly with your mother until this is all sorted.
Keep breathing!! ...and we'll keep praying and sending positive thoughts.

Thx I need positive comments right now because this is driving me crazy. I just talked to my vet and he said if the dog went into shock it could be that his system shut down and thats why he did not seem to breath.

Please let us know as soon as possible if it is Armani! We are on pins and needles here! :p

OMG the anticipation is terrible!!!!!! I've done laundry, cleaned the house, bathed and blow dried Jazzie, took the big dogs out, fed the cats, fed the turles, there's nothing else to do to pass the time to keep my mind preoccupied till we hear if it's Armani or not. Oh please God, please give her a miracle, please let this be her Armani.

Thx so much cant wait any longer wish my fam. was here to calm me down I've been cleaning like crazy 2.

Ohhhh, was the other furbabies around Armani before? If so, I wonder what they'll think when they are all back together???? Oh I'm so excited!!!

I am praying for you ALL and hoping that this is a wonderful outcome!
Struggling with the idea that AC took your baby,thinking that he was dead,he comes to and they DONT call you. I dont understand,but maybe you will have some answers in an hour or two.

I can only imagine how YOU feel! How long did you have him when you thought the pit bull killed him? Oh I pray God smiles on you today and gives you your baby back!!

LOL your house sounds like mine i have dogs,cats,fish and a turtle. I feel like I have my own zoo

I only had him for minutes becaus my friend did not want me to see him with all the blood I was going nutz. I only got to hold him when I said goodbye.

This was armani almost 1 year ago

Praying for you and your little guy!

If this ends up being Armani this will definitely be the story of the year

This whole situation has my heart PAC'in like a fiendish hyena.

Oh PLEASE let this be Armani!! The more I think about it, I can't imagine a circumstance where it wouldn't be.

Praying for the OP:animal-pa

My mom thinks all I should be worried about is him being ok and back where he should've been all this time in my arms. But I need answers.

Yea I dont blame you. The wondering about all of it would be daunting

When are they expected to arrive to pick you up?

i am waiting on pins and needles praying that you get your miracle

I agree with you. This is all so puzzling.

Surely he would have scars from the attack...you'll be able to look for them under his hair.

Very good idea to keep the other pups at your parents until he has a clean bill of health.

What time are you going? How far away is it? I simply cannot wait to hear more.

I looked back on your old thread from last year...I was the first to offer condolences. I hope I'm one of the first to offer congrats if it truly is him!

Well this waiting is killing me. Im gonna go clean my Daughters closet and check back in a little bit

Checking back for any updates. I can't leave my computer!

I remember when this happened. I thought You And the AC officer thought he was dead. If so then they deff should have called you when Armani regained consciousness. I believe that Armani is Alive & waiting for you. I believe he was not dead but in coma & shock.

She's offline now...maybe she is in transit! Hope it's close! I'll be praying!

When are they expected to arrive to pick you up? I agree with your mom. =/ I would want answers too, but sometimes things just happen. It seems likely to me that the AC officer who picked him up, simply left him where they usually do, and went about his day. They see tons of animals (severely injured and dead) every day, and it was someone else who found that he was still alive, and rushed him to the vet. There are a lot of chips that aren't detectable when scanned, and a lot of "less than quality" scanners that pick up squat. When he was healed up, they found him a home and didn't think twice about it until this day when he was found and the scanner worked. I think this is most likely the case. It's the only one that fits the scenerio (to me anyway), and the only case that I can play out in my mind and plausibly have this outcome.

...I really believe this is Armani. People don't take microchips out of dogs in the shelters here (I called and asked and they were appalled at the question in and of itself). They said removing a chip from one dog and placing it in another dog is unsanitary and perverse, and they can't think of any shelter that would do that, kill shelter or otherwise. I also called my vet, and his vet tech told me that when a dog is severely injured like Armani was, it is possible that their body went into the 'fight or flight' response, and they chose flight. Flight doesn't mean running, it can also mean that he or she simply shuts down (involuntarily) and appears dead....even the slightest pulse cannot be detected. After that, I called the shelter (again) and asked if they'd ever had a situation where an animal was brought in after being thought to be dead, and then was discovered to be living, and she said YES. She said...and I quote... "AC is not a vet, nor a vet tech. They are trained to retrieve the animal, and aren't trained to run the required diagnostics to pronounce an animal deceased."

IF this is NOT Armani...I would definitely be demanding to know why your dog's chip was in another animal, and I would be contacting my lawyer ASAP.

(but I really believe it's Armani)

I think she said it's an hour away. :(

...gonna go wash the dishes that aren\'t packed yet and come back and check.
