Playing Catch Up...

Just wanted to apologize for falling off the map in Blogger Land this week. It's been busy with more home improvements, recovering from Cody's departure, a cold on my part, long week at work and sleepovers last night with marshmallows roasted in the fireplace for the girls and their BFF's.

I'm thrilled that I got my blogroll and other assorted extras back up on this page, woohoo. Please check out my new poll (to the right of this post) and vote cause I'm curious. :) I added a couple of new blogs to my blogroll that are Blogs of Note, check out A Girl and Her Netflix Account for movie reviews and I'm an Organizing Junkie for some great tips on how to make our lives less cluttered and more sane and manageable.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Has this ever happened to any of you?????

OK bloggers, this weekend was the 2nd yard work marathon for us. But this time something very interesting happened...while we were all outside this adorable little dog comes running up to greet us all. We loved on him figuring his owner would come walking by calling for him in a minute. Nope! We put him on a leash after about an hour as we live on a busy street where drivers do not obey the speed limit for fear he'd be hit (he's pretty little). So...we kept him outside with us while we worked until sundown asking every walker & biker that came by if they were missing a dog or knew anyone who was. We called our friends & family in the neighborhood too and no one recognized this little guy. We ended up bringing him inside when it got dark, went and got him some food at the store and he has been with us since 2:00 yesterday. He's wearing a collar but has no tags. He is getting along well with our beloved Cheyenne and we are all getting attached, but I know someone is missing him. I keep telling the girls that if our dog got out and we couldn't find him we would want someone to care for her until we found her and that is what we are doing with this little guy, but that he does not belong to us. My research indicates that he is a Papilon (an expensive toy breed) and as he is so well behaved and groomed I know he's just an indoor pooch that escaped somehow. I have placed an ad already in the local paper, am calling the local Human Society to leave our name and number when they open later today and we are on our way out now to put flyers up on the telephone poles along our street. Anyone have any experience with this? Should I be doing something else? What do we do if no one claims him?


Here's a snap of the adorable little visitor:

So is this photo pulling at anyone else's heartstrings?! He is truly a sweetheart!

Bloggers, you're comments, suggestions, and ideas are welcome at this point and I will keep you posted on any developments in this "doggy drama". Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
