No, it's not Nanners or Noodles . . .

Last night, starting at 3:45 a.m., I could hear a dog barking and crying. It sounded nearby, and as I lay in bed grinding my teeth, I came to the conclusion that my next door neighbors had gotten a puppy, and they were making it sleep outside. In my mind I was composing the note to leave them about bringing the puppy in to sleep at night. At 6:30 a.m., I got up and went outside to confirm my puppy theory, and was surprised to find a yellow labrador on my door step, without a collar or tags. My best guess, or at least my hope, is that someone saw her out, thought she was my dog Hanna, and put her inside the gate. She was hungry and very, very thirsty, and after feeding them all, I took the 3 dogs out for a walk. (I had an extra collar and leash). At first she wouldn't come in the house, but she knows how to shake paws for a treat. So I’ll post her photo at the post office and see who claims her . . .

Fortunately, I saw one neighbor to apologize and explain . . .

ADDENDUM - my neighbor was walking her and the owner rode by - turns out her name is Honey . . .
