So I found this cute little thing running down the street today. As a dog owner, I can't ignore a dog loose and running around, especially since there is a lot of traffic in the neighborhood. I followed her for a bit, then called her to me - she's just as sweet as can be, but instead of wearing a tag with her name and number, she's wearing a zap collar, that clearly is not teaching her not to run off.

I brought her home, where Nanners and Noodles begrudgingly let her hang out. I put up a "Dog Found" sign with my phone number, and then a kid came riding by on his bike asking if anyone had seen a puggle running around; he was thrilled when he found out "Chloe" was safe and sound. Frankly, I think my choice of "Petunia" was a better name.

This morning the girls and I went to Home Depot, and bought some flowers, and my back deck, that was looking a bit worn down, has a lot of color now . . .
