Today, I spent more than 8 hours doing work for Job #2. So much for a “relaxing” long weekend.
Also, I spent an hour in the morning playing dogcatcher. I’ve been known to stop what I’m doing to chase down dogs so they don’t become roadkill. I saw a skinny, stray dog run across a VERY large, busy street several times, and I really didn’t want anyone to have a new brown & white hood ornament.
Despite the fact that I had my hands on the little brown & white dog TWICE today, he was so unhappy about being handled that I dropped him for fear of being bitten and going into a rabid fit. Actually, he DID manage to (just barely) break my skin through a leather jacket. I guess it really wasn’t the smartest thing to do, but I couldn’t stand the thought of letting him run around until he got run over.
The funny thing is that after I let the first one go (the lady whose yard I chased the dog into called animal control after he’d wriggled through a hole in the fence and already taken off down the street), I saw ANOTHER dog (a Chow with a collar) running across the same big, giant street and down the same residential street as the little brown & white one.
Since I saw the truck from the pound heading over, I stopped to give the animal control lady a quick report of the two dogs & went on my way, set back one hour in every task I had to do today.
What a way to start the day.
Two in one morning. wow a dogs best friend.
blessed be. BFG
hey, aren’t you supposed to rest and relax on the holiday weekend? i mean, that’s what i hear. i never get to myself.
LOVE the eggplant. love love love it.
Yup, you and YorkieMom both do the same thing. A few weeks ago, she brought home a female pit bull she found wandering. Sweet dog, but you’ve just gotta wonder how many fingers you’ll have left when it’s all over.
Still, you did the right thing.
Good karma
You did the right thing, I’m sure those dogs thank you…probably haven’t had good experiences with the human kind.
There is a place for you in doggy heaven! I have been frequenting my local humane society page lately. I have a feeling we will have a wet nose and a wagging tail around here some day:)
