Last night while Kylee, Brooks, and Charlie were playing outside, up runs this precious little puppy. Kylee immediately runs in to get him some water. We ended up staying outside for quite a while playing with him and we even fed him a few hot dogs. We walked around the front yard trying to find the poor thing his owners. Kylee was really concerned and wanted to keep him. She wanted to go across the street and ask the neighbors if we could have some dog food.
As much as Brooks loves dogs, he wasn't wanting this dog to come near him. Brooks took off running and "fake" cried as the dog approached him.
Kylee and Brooks didn't want the dog to leave. They followed him down the street and were both thrilled to see him/; come back as we filled the bird feeder.
That's about as close to the dog that Brooks would get.
I felt guilty leaving the dog out on the porch last night, so I brought him in the garage, made a pallet, and put the fan out there for him. As Charlie and I were laying in bed discussing what we were going to do with him in the morning, we both started to feel even worse for leaving the cute dog in the hot garage. We ended up letting him sleep in the laundry room. He was so good all night. I didn't hear a peep from him. He didn't chew anything up, and he didn't have an accident. This dog is obviously house trained and well behaved.
When we woke up, I let the dog out and took the girls to vacation bible school. Brooks and I were shocked to see that the dog was still sitting at the garage waiting for us when we returned. I just couldn't pretend he wasn't there. It melted my heart every time he looked at me with his cute little face and wagged his tail.
When I left to go get Kylee from VBS, I loaded up the dog and we then went to Pets Mart. I was hoping this adorable pup would have a microchip and we'd be able to find the owner. As the gentlemen was scanning the dog, Kylee and her friend Isa, both had their fingers crossed that he didn't have one. They were sure we were going to keep him if we couldn't figure out who he belonged to.
We made an appointment for the vet and had to wait an hour. We decided to go home to the neighborhood and knock on doors to see if he belonged to anyone. No such luck. Once again, the girls were secretly excited! When we were on our way to the vet, I got a text from a friend who wanted to come see the cute little guy. I had the vet check him out, give him a shot, and loaded him up with some flea medicine. Just as I was proceeding to check out, Allie comes in to save the day. I am so thankful Allie was able to adopt this loving dog. She already has one Shih Tzu, and I know she will take great care of him.
Kylee has always wanted a dog... At least now I can say she has had one...for a day!
