Call off the fire alarm
Turns out that the dog probably had a bout of dementia.

It's either that or my daughter has finally got to him and he couldn't take it anymore?
He turned up about 3 miles frome the house (near river rd). A guy called my wife this afternoon saying that Chase had turned up on his porch @ 5am today and it took him until 2 to find us. I guess the first thing is to get a new name tag and then possibly move up my plan to fence an area for him.
PS Scott, call me and lets set a time to get together and I can get that crankshaft and other stuff from you (513-368-7128)
