In the early part of February I began to notice that Pedrito no longer spent most of the day at the house. Even when I did not feed him much in the past, he would be gone for a while but would always come back.
I noticed he started leaving early in the morning and not coming back until late at night and only to sleep. His sidekick Tontolin stayed most of the day which I found odd as he is always following him around.
I had bought them another bag of dog food even though I had said I wasn't. He ate it when he came over but once again was gone by sunlight. A few days later Tontolin disappeared too :-(
Mother thought perhaps the dog catcher caught them but I had to remind her that the County does not have a dogcatcher nor a pound to house them. It just seemed so strange. I even drove around to see if he had gotten run over and thankfully that was not the case.
It was already dark when I went to take out the trash on Wednesday, February 11th and he came out of the blue without making a sound, something that I particular dislike about him and Ralph both...they never make their presence known.
I was so happy to see him! Felt bad for thinking that he might be a goner. Told him to wait while I went to get his doggie plate. But he looked different, like he was in a rush. He ate his food and left.
It was like he came to say...don't worry about me, I am going to be fine.
