Is that your dog?

It's a glorious day outside and you're sitting on the lawn in front of your house, wondering what there is to do, when two little dogs run past. You have two options: stay where you are, assume they'll get home safe, and continue on with your dull lives...or...get up and follow the dogs, because let's face it, you've got nothing better to do and you REEEAALLY want to play with the cute dogs. :) So, you quickly get up and follow them. You just barely get within reach and they scurry away. If you've dealt with dogs as much as we have, you can tell that the bigger blonde dog is a stray who is not used to people and the little gray poodle is just along for the ride. After spending waaaay too much of a Saturday afternoon chasing dogs around town, the blonde dog disappears but the poodle gets tired and sits down on the ramp leading up to a business and you snatch him right up. The poor little guy is tired so he just lays down in your arms. In walking back to campus, you see a woman on her front porch. You stop and ask if she's seen him before. She hasn't but goes into the house and brings out a Ziploc full of dogfood for him. You get back to the house...now what? You can't take him inside. Your RA will have your head on a platter for that one. So you sit outside for a few hours and enjoy the day and your new friend. It's getting a little late and you realize, you have to give him up. The only thing to do is take him out to the humane society on the other end of town. You get in your car with the passenger holding him on her lap, dog's head out the window. In driving thru town, of course one of the main roads is backed up and you sit waiting for traffic to continue. All of a sudden, the woman in the car to your right rolls down her window and says "Is that your dog?" *confused look on face. "umm...nooo". It just so happens the dog belongs to the sister of the woman in the car next to you. :D You pull off in a parking lot and pass your canine pal off to go home. You're def gonna miss the little guy. Lessons from this: get off your butt and have an adventure! And you never know where you might meet the person you were looking for. Thanks and love!
