I may or may not have stolen a dog last week. { Yeah, I did that. } I also put too much salt in my sun-dried tomato salmon Alfredo and forgot that no, I actually don't have a maid named Helga coming to clean my house. I was supposed to do that myself. It was a stellar week for me. The repairman coming by will just have to deal with crumbs around the frigo.
As for the dog, it was happily reunited with its owner. And I really didn't intend to kidnap it. I'd already gone to work once that morning and forgotten some important papers on my desk. As I was rushing home, I saw this lab playing on the railroad tracks that cross my road. Railroad tracks, people. Not far from a busy highway. I got out, looked around, saw no one, beckoned the dog, checked its tags, and called the owner. No answer. I opened the hatch of my car and it bounded right in. So I took it to back to school with me. Quite a sensible thing to do, if you ask me. All of the houses on my road save one are over a mile from the tracks, and I had no time to go knocking on doors.
Thankfully, the ladies in my school's office are dog lovers so they welcomed the stray right in and I got to class just in time.
So, remember how I said all the houses "save one" are far from the tracks on my road? Well, yeah. The dog belonged to that one. Of course it did.
And thus I went from dog-rescuer to dog-napper, all in the turn of one morning. Class-tastic.
P.S. The Husband picked out the locale for these photos on an after-church drive. Suddenly, he pulls over and says, "right here-- this would be good for outfit pictures." Every time I see those crumbs around the frigo I'm sure I've taught him nothing, but then he goes and does something like that, and suddenly I can't be mad about crumbs anymore, can I?
P.S. It's Wednesday! That means it's halfway to Friday evening. Hooray!

you are such a good {dog} samaritan:-) and a fashionable one at that! ummm, and sun dried tomato salmon alfredo sounds fantastic, even with too much salt! xoxo
I think you're a dog-rescuer--you were just looking out for his safety! If I were the owner I'd be grateful! Oh, and I love that skirt, especially with that green necklace!
Thanks everyone! Actually, the owner was really nice about it. The Husband is the one who keeps making fun of me as a "dognapper." He posted on FB that I stole our neighbor's dog and "dropped it off five miles away." He's a mischief maker, that one :)
beautiful skirt! and your husband picked a great spot for these shots :)
