Freaky Friday

[fufumira]

Friday was odd. I found a stray dog when I got home from work. She was just laying on the neighbor's front lawn, which seemed odd, given how cold it was and the lack of any sort of leash. I knocked on the door, to make sure she wasn't theirs (and ask why the heck they left her outside if she was... politely of course). She wasn't though, she'd been there most of the day... disappearing when they tried to get closer. I used the patented, make yourself as small and non-threatening as possible approach and letting her sniff my hand and talking to her nicely. She didn't growl or make any aggressive moves and her poor paw and back legs seemed hurt. I checked for tags but no such luck, even though she was clipped and wearing a collar and a halloweenkerchief. I bundled her in a towel and gave her a bit of food and popped her in the car. I drove her to the police station, because the shelter was apparently closed for the holiday. A very nice fella, came and picked her up for the vets. I hope she'll be okay. :( She was totally a sweetheart. I hope she just ran away... if someone abandoned her, well grr.

Aww! Poor baby. What sort of dog was it?

It looked like a terrier, silver coloured with a bobbed tail. The animal control fellow said she looked like she was getting on in years. She reminded me of my Norfolk Terrier, only a little bigger. (I miss my sweet little girl...)
