Our dog for a day
On Sunday, we were hanging out in the backyard and a dog came up. He didn't have a collar, so at first we were a little leery of him. He just didn't want to go away. He stayed and played all afternoon. When it was time to go in, he was still hanging around. By this time, we'd realized that he wasn't a stray, so we couldn't just leave him outside for the night. So, we brought him in and it was like we had our very own dog. On Monday, I posted my number at the mailboxes and we left him in the garage until we could get home from work and take him to the vet to check for a chip. When we got home, we found that he'd decided to let himself back into the house (clever fellow) and was sitting on the couch waiting for us to come home. We took him to the vet and the bittersweet part is that he did in fact have a chip. I left my number with the vet to track down the owner and we all went home. A little while later, the dreaded phone call came...The owner had just moved to our neighborhood and Nike had gotten out. He had been looking for him and was so happy to see him, as was Nike's gal pal, Puma. I'm really glad that he has a loving family and is well taken care of, but it sure would have been nice to keep him.

I don't know if anyone else had problems, but the text was so small it hurt my eyes too much to read it (I DO have really bad eyesight, though.) Anyway, I like the color in your pics. Cute dog:)
I'm so glad you took care of him! I am sure his owner is so glad that there are people like you out there. By the way, love Flat Stanley climbing in the rock cleft!!
