Hi, all!!

Yesterday was one of those days where you stop and know that God has directly intervened for whatever the reason.  

So, I'm driving along a side street and this dog comes out in front of the car and sits down.  I'm going slow enough that I can stop, thank goodness.  I honk the horn to try and get him out of the road, he just tilts his head to the side.  I get out, go around the car and try to shoo him off but he runs under the car.  I go around to the other side and look under, and he is not there.  I look around the grassy area and nothing.   I then proceed to get back into the car, close the door and I hear something.  In the passenger seat is the dog- calmly sitting and waiting on me to drive!  

It was late enough I didn't feel comfortable with knocking on doors so I posted that he was found and am waiting to hear from anyone.  I am not thinking that anyone is going to be calling.  He was so matted, his claws too long and a blanket of fleas.  

Yes, I drove home with this smelly little fluffball's head on my chest and paws in my lap.  Yes, I picked up dog food and a leash and collar.  Yes, the boys are completely head over heels in love.  Ugh... So am I..

Well, the good news is he is house trained.  The bad news is we are going to have to reteach him a name having no clue as to what his actual name is.  He isn't coming to the three or four different names that the boys are coming up with and shouting out to be heard over their brothers' picks.  

So, the answer is, no.  No writing today.  Not even a complete thought.  Not a dry cheek in the house (he's a licker..big time).

Question of the day- What off the wall male movie character name can you come up with for our cuticus mutticus?  All suggestions are appreciated.  And keep in mind, he is a dog like Benji but colored like Toto.

Glad the cats hate the dog more than the dog even notices the cats....

Peace be with you all and God bless!
