While pulling into our driveway, I noticed a white puppy wandering aimlessly across the street from our house. As the dog was crossing our neighbor's driveway, it nearly escaped being hit by a car which was backing out of their driveway. I got out of my car and called him to me (with the baby, puppy voice of course) and he ran over to me. I noticed that it didn't have any ID tags. I coaxed it to come into our backyard.. and pondered over how to break the news to my husband...
We posted signs within a 1/2 mile radius from the house and have not heard anything from anyone. I even posted flyers in people's mailboxes. Not even a crank call from anyone thinking I was some psycho opening mailboxes and stuffing it with a flyer. Not a peep.
With a past week of silence (the dog, on the other hand is NOT silent at ALL)I am contempleting that the puppy could be ours. We haven't actually accepted the harsh reality of all the respondsibilities that comes with dog ownership. Definelty NOT a piece of cake. Especially if we want to have a happy, well-behaved dog. We both feel fondly of the puppy, he's adorable is so many ways. We both knew that we would eventually get a dog, but not this soon! We're a bit unprepared. But at the same token, isn't that what life is about?? Unplanned, unanticipated, surprising and unpredictable?
