Jeb's Fate
May. 6th, 2007 09:29 pmYou remember Jeb, the dog from across the road who used to get out all the time and come over and play with Pegasus? Well I haven't actually seen him since 20th February.
Earlier this week, when Peggy was bleeding, I found out why. Jenny from over the road told me that the boy who's dog Jeb was, got tired of him, and so the mother had Jeb "dumped". Of course I can't verify that such is true, but it does fit the facts, more or less. Late February there was a commotion two houses up - the front gate was open and it seemed that one or both of their blue heelers had got out and there was a fight in the street between them and another dog. Couldn't see just which dog, without being obvious, but it could have been Jeb. Maybe they dumped him just after that.
Thing is, they can't "just" have dumped him, because Jeb was micro-chipped - he would have been scanned and returned when found. So, they must have killed him as well - that's the sad conclusion I've come to. Poor bugger - he was a bit of a nuisance but he was also harmless, and he'd come over and play with Pegasus. Funny thing two, because just after that date, Hallie came into my household, almost like she was filling a vacuum.
Bye bye Jeb.
