On November 7, 2008 our German shepherd, Sitka, ran out of our apartment in el Centro Guaymas after a street cat and she was GONE…
Today, on December 18, 2008, Sitka was returned to us (again – her first escape was in late October – after living here since June!)
A man named David called me at 2:10 today and said he had found her, but that he had given her to a man who claimed she was his. (He had used the Guaymas radio announcement forum to advise that he had found a German shepherd.) David had seen our recently posted flyers in el Centro with her picture and he knew that was Sitka!
Long story short, David met me at Hotel Ana this afternoon and had Sitka in his van. I knew in a heartbeat that it was her. I grabbed her and began to weep. And then I grabbed David and we both wept. He knew he found Sitka’s mom and I knew I had found Sitka.
I never really thought we would find her (again.) And I will get a new dog tag made with our Guaymas contact info ASAP. It is so weird. After that long. Our Christmas came a whole week early! FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!

Cynthia -- You cannot know how happy I am for you. I have not told you this, but twice I tracked down leads (one in La Manzanilla; one in Melaque) for German Shpherds foiund on the beach. Someone else made the same potential connection. But the dogs were male. I can stop looking now. There is no joy like the return of a prodigal dog.
Now that is a MERRY CHRISTMAS present!
We are so glad for you!
I have been been hoping for this post every time I click on my google reader. I am so happy for you!
Oh, what a wonderful, wonderful Christmas Present. I'm so glad you have Sitka back.
Hi Cynthia, I can't tell you how happy I am for you and Mike. I think Steve Cotton and I have worried about Sitka daily. What a wonderful Christmas! Joan
I am so happy for you and Mike! I came in to La Paz after 6 wks. at anchor, started playing Internet catch-up, & was so saddened to learn about Sitka's latest walkabout. Forget new tags, Sitka needs her own GPS beacon! Merry Christmas indeed to the 3 of you - Marianne & Gary, s/v Gallant Fox
