Our Morning Visitor

Here is our morning visitor. He created quite a stir while we were trying to get the kids off to school and while parents were dropping kids of for preschool.












He is the neighbor's puppy/dog that has been trying to escape their back yard for several weeks. As you can see he finally succeeded this morning.















We knocked on the neighbor's door, but they had already left for work, so I was holding the rascal off until all of the kids got into the house. One of the mothers dropping her kid off was concerned with what I was going to do with him after everyone arrived. I told her I was going to let him go, but that wasn't going to work for her so, she went to the back of her SUV and pulled out the kennel that you see our visitor sitting in. Who rides around with a spare kennel in the back of their vehicle ... well, she would ... they have a ton of animals at their house, so I'm sure its handy to have one in the car.




We left a note on the neighbor's door that we have their dog. I hope, for the dog's sake that they come home for lunch, because all we have on our animal menu is cat food. Anyway our visitor is happy (see his smile), safe and anxiously awaiting the arrival of his owners.

*****UPDATE*****

HE IS A SHE. Her owner came home for lunch and rescued her. She has broken free again and has been put back into the kennel. Oh well, she'll be okay ... most people enjoy spending time with us, so I can only imgine that its even 7 times better for a dog. Of course we don't put people who visit us into a kennel.
