Wash. family about to bury dog finds surprise

YELM, Wash. — If Scamp the dog was living up to his name by playing a trick on his owners, a grandmother in Washington isn't laughing.

Reta McKinlay thought her grandchildren's puppy died after it escaped through a fence at her Yelm home and was hit by a car. The terrier-Shih Tzu mix was bleeding, his eyes fixed. He wasn't breathing.

McKinlay told The Olympian her husband wrapped him in a blanket on Dec. 3 and left him under a wheelbarrow to keep animals away. They prepared to bury him the next morning.

She told her 6-year-old twin grandchildren that Scamp had gone to heaven.

But when her husband returned, Scamp was sitting up.

The family has spent $3,000 on veterinary bills since. McKinlay says Scamp's return is the family's Christmas present.

Chocolates are the best, especially when they let the kids dress them up for Halloween:

Never lose the fear, that's when you grow weak. Consider this thread to be an early Christmas present.

:yesnod:Wrote the check out to floor sanders myself... :leaving:

I wish, I had time to do that - I think in a couple years they'll need to be redone , I plan on doing it then. Make sure to post up some before and after pictures.

Thx for the cute kid comment - that is our youngest daughter, Evelynn, dressed as the itsy-bitsy spider this past Halloween.
