Well folks we made it through another week.
This weekend marks the end of February 2020 and the beginning of a new month March 2020.
March is an extra special month for me as it is the birthday of my daughter.
Also is the birthdate of my Dad’s only sister, my Aunt, son-in-law’s brother, friend’s children, sister-in-law, niece in-law and some of my most dearest friends.
A busy month to be sure.
Which reminds me that I forgot to pop a card and letter into the mail for my Aunt.
I will do that this weekend and even though it may be late ….. always better to send than not to.
She is of the generation that cards and letters were important.
The largest way of communication next to the telephone.
Long before the days of email, texts and video chats and social media.
I have a good stock of miscellaneous cards as I still love to send them from time to time.
Last night on our walk …. oh, it was so beautiful.
We bumped into the gal that delivers our flyers down the street at the houses near the park.
We stopped for a chat.
The chat carried on for several minutes when all of a sudden I saw out of the corner of my eye and then did a quick spin …
To see by Alvin and me, this chocolate lab pup off leash.
There was a family coming down the sidewalk and I called out to them.
They explained as they got to us that this pup had just joined them.
He/She walked beside them the whole way.
Now as they were on a busy street they were concerned.
No one happened to have an extra leash.
As we were near the house of a friend, I ran up the walk to see if she could help us out with a leash.
She has two small dogs.
But no one was home.
Quick thinking, I thought of tying some poop bags together but that didn’t seem like a great idea, no one had a scarf (I would have given up my scarf, for sure) but I did have
my Bath & Body Works lanyard on my keys.
So I removed the lanyard and it worked perfectly as the pup did have a collar with a ring for hooking leashes.
We hooked up the lanyard and I asked if they were able to take the pup and contact the appropriate authorities and they said of course.
The pup seemed perfectly happy to be with them.
Alvin did okay with the pup considering there was no leash on the pup and hard to hold him/her.
There was a bit of growling on Alvin’s part but the pup was so good natured it did not last.
I hope, pray and wish that they found the pup’s home or the authorities did.
Such a beautiful pup.
There was no one out looking during the time we were out.
I am not certain where exactly the dog joined them.
Best of luck to you little one.
I should have carried my phone but did not have the appropriate place and my hands were full.
Well almost time to leave here.
My neighbour is feeling better and will give me a ride to work this morning.
Yesterday funny story.
I left home a few minutes earlier than what I normally would to catch a bus and when walking by my friend’s house, she was backing out.
She saw me and gave me a ride to the bus stop.
That helped greatly … no dodging ice …. yay, me.
I caught the earlier bus and was to work before 7:30 a.m. ( I do not start till 8 but like to be there early).
Well time to fly.
I hope that you have an awesome, amazing, wonderful day.
Isn’t the morning sky beautiful?
Getting more light everyday.
Take Care.
Always, Carol & Alvin
