Looking back, the tactics employed to entice Halley back are almost comical. Thankful to have a generator, Cheryl Myers cooked several pounds of bacon (for the grease) and chicken broth to pour a trail towards their live traps to make Halley hungry.
A chihuahua named Halley escaped during the arrival of Hurricane Fiona Friday evening in Folly Mountain, N.S.FOLLY MOUNTAIN, N.S. — It was “Hurricane Halley” in Folly Mountain over the weekend searching for a Chihuahua who bolted off and disappeared during post-tropical Fiona.
They searched with others all day Friday. Cheryl's partner, Gordon Myers, briefly saw her, but that was it as the wind, darkness and rain picked up. Until around 11 p.m., before retreating inside as the storm hit and the remote area was plunged into darkness while shingles flew off their roof. Cheryl even thought she heard the Chihuahua barking, before realizing she was dreaming.
Renley, the Myers’ large Labradoodle that Halley is attached to, was rubbed down with his blue blanket for Halley. As soon as the rain stopped Monday morning, Halley went straight to the trap under the doorstep filled with KFC, sticking her head in and out about six times. She was about two feet in when a speeding semi-truck flew by and scared her away. But, she ran back to the trap, repeating the same head-in, head-out routine.“We're just sitting there, going ‘come on, just a little farther, little farther’” said Harrison.
The dog was petrified, but finally, safe and secure. The good news was called into the foster parents who had gone back to work. Gordon was able to come right home from the Pugwash salt mine and Cheryl, who is a nurse, celebrated with her students.“She ran over here, she jumped on the coach … and straight over to Sunny. Renley was there just slobbering all over her face," said Harrison. “He was so excited, she was there and she was sticking her face out and letting him do it.
