Roscoe P. Coltrain

On Sunday we returned from our weekend trip to the Roping in Glen Rose to find that one of our dogs was gone, Roscoe.

Roscoe is a tough dog. Always wanting to protect us. Last week he killed a 4 foot rat snake and brought it to us to show us he killed it. Roscoe was Travis' first dog and has been around longer than I have.

We have looked everywhere but have not been able to find him. He's notorious for getting out and coming back, but this time he has yet to come back.

After talking to one of our neighbors we found out that they saw Roscoe, BUT thought he lived in the subdivision a mile up the road so they loaded Roscoe in their truck and dropped him off in the subdivision. Seriously, who does that? Finds a dog and just drops him off all alone in a subdivision not even attempting to see who owns the dog.

So, everyday we have checked the animal shelters with no luck, searched the subdivision the neighbors said they took Roscoe to, put ads on Craigslist, and made flyers.

If you have time say a prayer that Roscoe is safe and happy and that he can find is way home.

Everynight when we've gone to feed the dogs we've scooped 4 scoops so used to having 4 dogs and it's just not real that Roscoe is gone...

Awwww.... that's so sad! I hope Roscoe finds his way home soon! Those neighbors sound dumb...they probably kept him since he's such an awesome dog!

I am so so sorry! Roscoe will come back! He is just in Mexico on a little summer vacation with a cute poodle he met in the subdivision! I am going to pray he comes home safe and sound!
