Today was slated to be a pretty standard day: do laundry, play with my dogs, Humane Society benefit, movie, bed. Today ended up as anything but standard though.
As I was dragging my laundry through the house, I looked outside one of the front windows and saw a female Golden Lab staring back at me. I figured it was just the neighbors' dog, so I went out to catch it and realized that it had a buddy, a small female Beagle mix. It turns out that my mom thinks she saw them both get dropped off in our neighborhood this morning. So we fed them breakfast, got them into our yard, and I spent from about 1:30 until 7pm outside keeping an eye on them, playing with them and making sure they weren't hurt. Animal control was supposed to come pick them up, but we never heard back from them. (Note: Animal Control will find them a good home.) I named the Lab Bailey and the Beagle Boston, and they're currently sleeping in my backyard. Both are too covered in ticks to come inside.
So tomorrow I'll get up at sunrise to feed them and start the process of finding them a home all over again. I wish I could adopt them, but I don't have the time or the money to take on two more dogs. I just have to focus on giving my own two dogs the best home possible.
Today, I am grateful for:
* Bailey and Boston being willing to trust me and come to me. It would break my heart if they were out there all alone tonight.
* Mary Jo, my neighbor, who gave me a few people to call in the search for B & B's new forever home.
* my own two dogs being safe and healthy.
* chai. I seriously need something after today.
* actually having a plot in mind for NaNoWriMo. Which I will start working on riiiiiiiiiight now.
