We are back from our whirl wind vacation all ove rthe place. We went to Yosemite for five days and then home for two days only turn around and go to Chicago to visit family for another week. Last night sleeping in our bed was heaven, but the hubby still can't sleep bad, bad anxiety and insomnia. Poor guy. I think I might be slowly driving him insane. Here's the email I sent  him yesterday. He didn't sleep at all last night.

Hi Baby,

Here’s the story on the dogs in our back yard. I found them on in the central island in heavy traffic. They came when I called them. I first planned to just get them off the main street, but when I called at them to “sit, stay” they did. I called them to come and follow me and they did. They were wagging their tails and sweet. I didn’t know what to do and we were causing a traffic jam so since my instinct said okay, I let them in the car with the kidlet. They kissed her and sat down for the ride.

I know that’s stupid! I know, I know, I know. But I also somehow could  tell they were good dogs. I took them home and after some coaxing got the larger of the two out of the car (ohhhh my new car smells like dog now which is bummer !!!!) I just looked her in the eyes and promised to make sure she was taken care of and she jumped out and followed us in the back yard.  Amazing! We named them. The little Chihuahua girl is CC for Centre City and the big girl Pitbull is Parkway.

B came over and helped me give them both flea baths. They never growled once! They aren’t too skinny and they weren’t too hungry so I think they belong to someone over by 9^th I found them.  My plan is to run a free ad in the newspaper and post some Found Dog Fliers around the area. I will also call humane society to report them as found and get them screened for microchips.

If in two weeks no one claims them and they are working out okay and not being bad, I’d like to keep them. I know  you are probably freaking out that we have a pit bull in the back yard BUT she’s super sweet and not the least bit aggressive so far.  If either one or both aren’t working out, or are doing bad things such as digging, chewing up stuff or being aggressive them I will take that dog to a no kill shelter or some rescue organization. The thing is with the mortgage crisis a lot of people who have lost their home are abandoning dogs and cats to the streets and the shelters, especially the no kill shelters are full.  We can cross that bridge when/ if we get there.

Anyway, life is an adventure and  this is a random act of kindness. The kidlet  is thrilled and this is teaching her to be kind and caring to people and animals in need. A powerful life lesson! I explained that we are trying to help the dogs find their mommy and daddy, that they are lost. She of course thinks we have two new dogs, which might be the case. We’ll see.

I love you!
