Of course when you live in my mind there is only 1 thing to do.
That’s why I am always prepared for it.
What is it you may ask?

2 Little puppies running down the side of a busy road! That is my worst nightmare. I MUST stop, its built into my brain, no matter how dangerous the situation, no matter what type of dog.
I MUST STOP.
So after doing a U turn, and going around a another round about to be on the right side of the road ……………………………………….. after a little coaxing and allot of bluster from both of the tiniest pooches, having aanother girl round up the back and a pack of 3 strange boys round up the side, we got both of them successfully. Then of course what to do with them?? To late to take them to a shelter, will have to take them home, of course. Talked to mum as an option to leave them at her place for the night. BUT can’t do that, I’m in love already.
As you are all aware I already have a permit to have 3 dogs and I already have 3 dogs, so that’s not going to work. What’s a girl to do??? So after putting on my brand new doona cover and nice new pillow cases, the idea was to lock them into one of our back bedrooms. That didn’t work because they just cried for me. Hours before they were sitting up on the couch lapping up the attention I was giving them. The only one of my dogs that was in the house was Miss Becky, she’s small and not to intimidating, tried to let in Miss Molly and Master Humphrey but Master Humphrey thought they were dessert, so he had to be locked out until bed time. So of course then ended up sleeping in my bedroom, I put in a doona for them to sleep on the floor, but that didn’t work and they sleep on the bed all night. Except when D turned over and knocked them to the floor – they are so light you can’t even feel them on the bed, not like our HUGE dogs – this morning this is 2 spots of blood on the sheet and pillow case, so now my thoughts are that the female – little silky terrier is in season and the poodle male is in love. So now I wonder if they were indeed together from the start of if she only got out because of him or vise verse? Either way, neither have a collar and the poodle is in dire need of a good clip. I wanted to do it but thought I really shouldn’t since I am taking them to a shelter, how will his family find him if he has had a full clip? But I must say if I didn’t already have 3 dogs, one of which wants to eat them both, I would have them in a heart beat. If I knew where the camera was I would take a photo for you, but then if I have them on my blog I will fret for them as well in the future.
Wow, you have such a big heart to actually turn around to pick them up and THEN take them home AND allow them to sleep on your bed! I love dogs, have two myself (one is 9 weeks old on Monday), but I have never stopped to pick up a pooch running down the side of the road. I wish now that I had stopped to pick up a Bernese Mountain Dog I saw trotting down a busy road with no human in sight, but I didn’t.
Good luck with the two pups. I hope their people find them.
You’re so sweet! And I agree with Michelle….you have a big heart. Keep us posted!!
