So thrilled to hear a good ending...
From Best in Show Daily:
Quince's Story directly from Jill and Jeff: At 9:30am this morning we received a phone call that Quince was spotted across the street from 7007 Pleasant Valley Road in Irwin, PA, sitting in a driveway next to a barn. We had a sighting there a few days ago so felt very optimistic. As soon as he arrived he was nowhere to be seen. I got on the phone with Karin TarQwyn the Canine Private Investigator who pulled up my location on a map. She sighted a small overgrown path to the right of the property (that we hadn't known about) and told me to go down it alone. It took me about 30 minutes of walking slowly with Knox, calling Quince's name. I got to the end of the trail - it was a dead end. I was feeling like this could have just been another false alarm. I turned to walk the trail back to the sighting area and about 10 steps into it, there was Quince, staring right at me and walking to my direction! He had been following me!!!!! He stood still like a deer in the headlights, alert, ears up, checking me out. I stayed calm as I realized he could run. I started to kneel on on leg and began to pet Knox. I said "Quince" and he ran to me full speed ahead!!! THANK YOU to everyone for believing in me, us, Quince. Thank you to the owners/breeders for the positive messages and phone calls and entrusting us with Quince. Thank you to all of the friends we have made, old and new who helped search day and night for Quince. A message to everyone in Facebook land - NEVER GIVE UP.

Hmmm...
...it's always so much easier to bring the tree IN the house than it is to take it OUT of the house (of course, when I first get my tree, it is very nicely wrapped in netting that makes it easy to transport and easy to fit through my door (smile) It's also much more exciting and fun than the "take-down" process which includes my cutting off branches (making a mess) so I can get this thing to where it will fit through my doorway (smile)Geez Schmoopy and Sassy...one would think you two are exhausted from all the hard work! Just exhausted watching me, huh ?!? LOL XO
