This little guy showed up on our doorstep this morning, along with a neighbor who said he found him in his garage. The Rev. LG offered to look after him until his family could be found. So far, no one has looked hard for his family.

And a very talented little guy he is - standing on the ceiling like that.

Oh he's so cute. I hope some little kid isn't sad and worried. He can't have traveled too far. He's so little. I hope you find his humans.

I checked the local animal control website and B called the local vet. So far, nothing. I am thinking we will see signs the next few days from whoever might be looking for him. I would hate for some little kid to be heartbroken over missing his or her puppy. But he isn't going to the pound. If we can't find owners he can stay here.

He is a cutie. He has not been missing long. His nails are too long (I bet you can hear the clickety on tile/wood) but they are nice smooth points. That is dog who has been indoors and grass, not wandering the streets. He needs a manicure
All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Wish I could've taken credit for this one. Bonus snark points for DinK!
Definitely a cute puppy. I so wish I could have a dog.

Excellent response! That's one to write down and never forget. Will make an excellent story for him when he's all grown up.
It's great that the medicine makes such a difference for him - and for all of you.

Enjoy lovely Hot Springs! It's been so long since I've been there that I really don't have much in the way of suggestions for things to do. I don't think horse racing is in season, otherwise I'd suggest an afternoon at Oaklawn. That's a common workday destination for many who feel "sick" when racing is in-season. I would recommend touring a bath house if you can. Hot Springs was quite the destination in the 1800s, and there are some gorgeous bath houses. I believe that Bath House Row may be on the National Register of Historic Places. It's definitely part of Hot Springs National Park. There are supposedly lots of good restaurants there. If you're into pulled pork, you need to find some good 'cue. I know there's supposed to be a good place in Hot Springs, but I cannot remember the name. If you happen to see a Whole Hog Cafe, you might try it out. The original location in Little Rock is one of my favorite places to go when I'm in town.

How odd. Puppy pic is right side up on iPhone and iPad, but upside down on computer. Puppy is right side up in real life.
Let me know how that turns out and in which direction.

I saw it first on my iPhone and it was right side up - didn't understand the ceiling reference. Now, on the desktop, it's upside down and it makes sense!
Second picture is right side up on desktop and iPhone!

I've had this problem with an avatar pic of my dog on certain websites. Weird, huh?
