Cost of Sheepie ownership just went up

So there I was, sitting on the top flight of deck steps when Caitlyn came running up to me. As typical, I reached out to catch her and one of her toe nails caught my wedding band! She bounced off and back and in the blink of an eye, it was gone! So somewhere under our deck, I hope is my ring. I spent better than an hour sifting through the dirt, rocks, bits of trash and several dead birds looking for it with no luck. I even brought out several UV and black light flash lights but that didn't help. I even went out just now in the cold and dark with my arsenal of lights and still can't find it.

Jen's hair dresser used to have a metal detector so she's gonna call her tomorrow so there may still be some glimmer of hope - wish us luck.

You're lucky it isn't the rest of your finger you're searching for...
It may also have flown backwards into the yard. Check at the base of the steps as well. Hope you find it!
GOOD LUCK!!!!

I once dropped my ring in my bedroom in the morning as I was dressing for work. Heard it hit the wood floor (so this had to be more than 20 years ago as I've been in this house.... oh wow!!! 20 years to the day today!!) and couldn't find it anywhere.

Went to work, came home. Still no ring. Got undressed and as I hung my pants on the hanger, the ring fell out of my cuffed pant leg. Heard it hit the floor again! Found it that time. LOL

Ya never know.
Maybe its still around Caitlyns finger?!! :D
Maybe it flew into a plant pot or under a chair, or if caitlyn ran back and forth it could be anywhere that she went. When bloo knocked moms lens out her glassses the other week, it happened in the house we found it by the back door. Things are always where you least expect themt to be. let us know (if you find it) where it was
sam ;)
You better check the poo as well as it might landed up in the dog :)
Happens to the best of you :lol: Jim lost his diving into Tappan Lake back in 1973 while we were camping with another couple & while the other wife & I were at a bridal shower! Needless to day, I didn't hire a scuba diver :lol: And I didn't even suggest we buy him another one (cheapo me). That was 39 years ago & we're still married so I guess I made the right call. You'll find it where you least expect it. At least you're going into summer & the weather should be better to look for it :lol:
I did hear it hit the deck between my feet and then Caity lunged down towards the noise. I don't think she actually got it as when she came up in a split second, she was open mouthed and panting. I'm thinking that if anything, she probably hit it with her feet or nose and it got launched under the top deck that I was sitting on and is now in the stack of dimensional lumber that is under that deck. Either way, it's gonna take some time to find it. I spoke to a co-worker who is a Boy Scout troop leader and he's also gonna bring in his metal detector tomorrow. So I'm sure I'll find it eventually. And I'm not above waving the detector over poo either!

Vance
In light of this new information, it sounds like you may need to widen your search over the next couple of days to include everywhere that Caity goes.....
Yeah... not looking forward to that.

Vance
Oh no!
Good luck with the search. I'll be curious where you end up finding it. :)
Good luck with the metal detector Vance! Hope you find it!!
At the risk of grossing anyone out, I do keep an eye on both dogs poo. I feel you can tell a lot about how they feel or are going to feel just by this weird watch. Also, I can yell at Jen when she feeds them people food they shouldn't be eating... So I do know their 'spots' in the yard. I'll be following her around tonight with some yard markers so I can scan them with a detector tomorrow if the search under and around the deck uncovers nothing.

Vance
Run the detector over the dog, maybe it's still inside. :wink:
Good luck! Hope you find it!
