Well Saturday night started off to be a relaxing evening. So Mitch and I decided to go to the drive inn theater to see Despicable Me, but it was sold out so we watched Twilight Eclipse.

After the movie while on my way home in the new baby van I had to swerve to miss two yellow lab running in the middle of Spaulding. So I called them back, put them in the van and took them home.

They had been running a long time because the paws were bleeding. I nursed them and fed them. I put them in the back yard and went to bed.

The older of the dogs- the female started howling at 3 am. I didn’t think my neighbors would appreciate that so I came down and slept on the kitchen floor. As long as she was able to see me she was quiet.

I placed an ad on Craigslist hoping the owners would check there. Most of the day went by and I was not looking forward to another camp out on my kitchen floor. Then around four the phone rang and it was the owner. He came over and picked up the dogs.

The female dog is named  Morgan and I never found out the name of the boy. I asked the owner why he did not have a name tag on them; he said they can’t keep them on the dogs. Hum I thought something should work because a lot of people lose their dogs forever because of no tags. Morgan and her friend were lucky and found their way home.

It always seems that adventure finds me in the strangest ways.

So if you have animals tag them with a contact number so you can get your pet back.

Mitch gave me a present last week!

A French Bulldog named Bosco well his old name was Napoleon but it’s too long to say. His owner met us at the Friday night drags. A few days later he dropped Bosco off.

He is two years old and his owner is in the military and is going to Germany. Seems Germany doesn’t allow dogs with the word Bull in the genes pit-bull, bulldogs, bull terrier, etc. So he needed a home. He put it on craigslist and only received calls from dog breeders. He didn’t want Bosco to live with a breeder. So I am now the proud owner of Bosco. He is very mellow and doesn’t bother the cats, which Olly enjoys. He has a cough type bark when he needs to go outside. He snores when he sleeps, and he sleeps a lot. I think he will be a great addition to my animal kingdom ).
