Just got an e-mail from Starla, and they recovered Spirit tonight at the Huffman Carrs, where their nightmare began.
A customer reported a dog in the bathroom Sunday, and the Carrs staff recognized Spirit from the posters the family had put out. She is safe and sound at home.
I love happy endings.
For those who missed it, Spirit, an albino Pekingnese less than a year old, was stolen from a car in the Carrs parking lot on Thursday. The car was locked, but a window was lowered just enough for a slim arm to fit through and open the door. A witness reported seeing a young couple in a light-colored convertible driving away with the dog.

The panel that opened the big renewable energy conference in Anchorage Monday morning offered some good answers to skeptics who might ask, “Why get all hot and bothered about promoting renewable energy?”
Ron Lehr, a consultant to the American Wind Energy Association and a former utility commissioner in Colorado, pointed out it’s not a good idea to depend on one fuel source for 90-plus percent of your electricity. (Almost all of Anchorage’s electricity comes from natural gas, with a bit of hydro power thrown in.)
It’s impossible to predict what fuel prices will be, Lehr said. If you guess wrong, and they’re higher than predicted, you hurt people – utilities just pass the extra costs straight through to their customers. If you guess wrong, and fuel prices are lower – your alternative energy investments can be considered as insurance, or hedging, against higher fuel prices – a prudent thing to do when your business relies so heavily on a commodity whose price is so volatile.
