Well... off to an interesting start
I was driving to work this morning, down a busy street. A white German Shepard is trying to cross the street. I slow down and the silly thing steps out in front of me. I've already slowed to a near stop, so no problem. Traffic behind me is also careful, so no rear-enders either. The dog puts its front paws on the hood, so I open the car door. The dog scrambles in (across my lap - OUCH! - this dog needs a nail trim) and sits down in the passenger seat, on top my computer bag. I quickly pull out of traffic into a Kroger parking lot. Bless owners who tag their pets! Lola (the dog's name) licked my face as I read her tags. I called the number on the tag and apparently woke someone up. I asked, "Do you know your dog is out trying to cross MacArthur in busy traffic?" "Lola? You saw Lola?!" "Yeah, she's sitting in my car. We're at the Kroger." I gave him the location, and in 20 minutes, another red car, similar to my little Escort, pulls into the parking lot. Lola wags her tail and paws at the window to get out. Seems she's been missing for three days. Yay! Happy reunion, and I wasn't even late for work! Hugs and Purrs and a couple of Woofs, Mark -- Proof of Sanity Forged Upon Request |

Probably because of the car and I bet Mark has "sucker" written across his
forehead and the dog knew this human would help her. wrote in message ... Mark Edwards wrote: I was driving to work this morning, down a busy street.
