Dog and Baby Issues

Friday wasn't so good for me!

It was cool outside, it was

early, so we went out for a bit.

When we were in the backyard,

I had pulled the trash can around to the side

gate and I was putting in dead tree branches

from a storm ....when Pokey got out!

I had already put Gilligan in the house, but Pokey

is usually not one to venture out on his own. I thought

I could go after him quickly without Ro noticing,

because she was around the corner, but he

was too far to leave her alone, so I

didn't know what to do! I just

thought maybe he'll come back.

I was hollering for him, holding Royanne....

standing in the driveway......

I didn't know how far he'd go, I didn't want

to loose sight of him. Then 3 young

people with 2 dogs were walking by so

they watched him - he had crossed the

street- until I got back. Luckily I had a

garage door opener with me on the side

fence so I quickly opened the garage door,

put Ro in her

stroller that was thankfully not where it

belonged (in the trunk with the car gone) and went

down the road with the garage opener

in the pouch on the stroller and a dog leash

and I went three houses down where they

were and they said "He went in that garage" - the

door was up about 6 inches for their cat - so,

I stood in their driveway and called for him

and waited and waited while she clapped and

he finally came waddling out. He fought the leash

on the way home although he is leash

trained because he was OUT and wanted to

stay that way! After it was over I realized

I was still in my pjs!

I just can't do a post without

a picture!
