I was in BIG trouble!
The day after Christmas, I wandered away from my backyard in search of a few turkey dinner leftovers.
Now really, who could blame any black Labrador for that?

The happy news is I am back home safely, although Nutmeg is still a bit mad at me.
I thought I should share our Lost Dog Checklist below (includes some web links) in case your dog or cat follows a similar trail.

Call ASAP – the City of Calgary Animal Services @ 311. They will ask you to file a report with all of the embarrassing details; breed, age, weight, colour, tattoo, microchip etc.

That was not enough for Nutmeg though she was curious – would human vitamins actually have any effect on dogs?  Well…
