Gone to the Dogs!

My weekend was all about dogs!  It started out by my finding a black lab on the highway.  A couple of people were stopped trying to catch him.  I opened my van door to get a leash and he jumped in. When I looked around, everyone had suddenly disappeared, and I was left with this rambunctious happy boy who was wondering what the next chapter of his adventure would be.  Not knowing exactly what do to next, besides take him home with me, I took him to our county animal control--Probably not what he had in mind.  But he was in great shape and had 2 collars on, but no tags so my hope is that someone will be looking for him.  Just in case they aren't, to make sure nothing happens to him, I put my name down as a possible adopter for him.  And just to cover another base, so his owners know where to look, I later put up posters in the area saying that a young black lab had been found and taken to animal control.  Paws crossed that he finds his way back home!

I have to admit that usually I take a found dog home with me and hope I can find the owners.  But I was on my way to our friends house to take pictures of their new addition, Parker. I have to admit that I caught puppy fever all over again!  But when I'm reminded of all of the things that a really young puppy needs, I'm thankful that our puppy, Todd, who is now almost 10 months old, is past all of that!

We had little bit of wet, sloppy snow as the day was ending.  It didn't last long, but the dogs, especially Todd, enjoyed each and every flake that he could catch or chase.

Finally, thank-you for sending good thoughts for Lucas!  I heard from the rescue that they have approved his treatment!  He'll have his first surgery this Wednesday.  Until then, his stalking and love affair with our cat, CC, continues.
