Lawn decoration returned, with photos

PORTLAND, Ore. (UPI) -- A Portland, Ore., woman who had given up hope of ever seeing her missing ceramic dog again said the item has returned -- with photos of its travels.

Edwina Cramer-Norris said she had assumed the dog was gone for good when it disappeared last month, but then she began receiving postcards addressed "To Master" from "Lucky Dog," KPTV, Portland, Ore., reported Monday.

Cramer-Norris said she saw a blue van leave her driveway Sunday and when she went outside to investigate, she found her missing lawn decoration sitting in a makeshift dog house alongside a photo album documenting its adventures. She said the pictures depict the dog with a family at locations including DisneyWorld, Graceland, the Mississippi River and New Orleans.

She said a note accompanying the pictures explained that the dog had needed a vacation from Oregon because the weather was too rainy.

"It's a strange thing," she said. "We're happy to have him back and it gives us something to share with others. (It's) some kind of a strange story."

Cramer-Norris said the missing dog returned with two new additions to the family -- a pair of ceramic puppies.

Morning TM. I remember hearing of other incidents. I just love this story. For them to actually send post cards AND to get them two puppies tells you these were not bad people.

Well my notify is not working this morning.

That is way cool TM. Wish they did that kind of stuff when I was in school. Maybe I would have liked it better.

Morning furbie. Pluto does get around. I wish they would have included a photo with the story but we will have to use our imagination.

College kids were doing this with yard Gnomes.
Some were arrested and charged with theft.

Heck if the kids want to have fun and take yard art on vacation let 'um. At least they aren't doing strong armed robberies.

I think it's funny the dog was returned with puppies.

Now that you mention it, I do remember the gnomes. I don't understand why they would arrest them as long as they were returned and no harm was done. I could never press charges for something like that.

Leaving the two puppies was so cool. I have a ceramic bunny by my front door that hasn't moved in over 10 years. I'm sure he could use a vacation.
