What a weekend! After a week of frigid temps, today it warmed up to above 60°F. When a snow covered yard is introduced to warm air and a bit of sun, the melted precipitation makes some pretty spectacular mud. Said mud is great fun for puppies, but sure do leave a mess in the house.
Dogs are a pain.
But at least my puppies didn’t run away this weekend… like Ben & Colette’s dog, Wanwan. Just out for a moment before bed, at around 1:30 AM this morning, she disappeared. I figured she was dead. 🙁
Some impressive investigative tactics by my ex-daughter-in-law and Wanwan was picked up this afternoon at the Humane Society. Someone found her blocks away (no clue how the 12 year-old and partially blind Chihuahua got there) and took her in. After an Arby’s roast beef and a bath to get rid of the ‘horse poop’ smell, she slept the rest of the day away.
Dogs are a pain.
But we sure do love them! Enough to clean up muddy prints 200 times a day, give them a bath and buy them an Arby’s sandwich.
