"Saving the world...one dog at a time."




















Our short-lived adventure with "Beethoven" reminded me of a couple of things today. First, how much I adore and appreciate the unexpected moments that bring laughter into the days. Chane and I were driving back into town from my Dads' this afternoon when we saw something traveling down the middle of the road in front of us...


We thought it was too big to be a dog and all I could think/say was "Llama." Luckily, it WAS just a dog, but a HUGE one. I pulled over to look at his tags and there was only a # to a vet (which was closed). Chane insisted he'd find his way home, so we got back into the car to leave. This dog was literally SO big that as he sat outside my drivers' side door, he stared directly into the window. It was clear he had no intention of leaving, or letting us.


What ensued was a forty five min. wait on Railroad Rd. for animal control. The time passed there was (undoubtedly) full of laughter and random-dog bonding.


The post-bonding drive included a call from the Grandma, and when she asked what we had been doing all day, Chane responded, "Saving the world...one dog at a time."


I'm sure he's happy to be fed/watered and warm this evening and we have yet another funny memory...
