If dogs could read...

Well, hello stray doggy that was hanging out with my kids last night in the back yard.  When I opened the boys curtain this morning for some light, I must admit, I found it quite adorable that you propped your paws up on the window sill and just stared in the window all morning as they got ready for school.  It was so pitiful and we all immediately felt sorry for you sitting out there in the cold.

After they got on the bus, I began to wonder where you came from.  You are obviously quite happy here, as you stuck around all night.  I had to give my husband some puppy dog eyes of my own to convince him to let me bring you in and bathe you.  It had to be done... you were filthy!  But you sure cleaned up nice!

I'm glad that you like me and follow me around, because I kinda like you too.  Enough that I ran to target right after your bath to get some kibbles and bits.  I was pretty excited to see you waiting for me at the end of my driveway when I got home.  You seemed very excited when you recognized my truck.  I wonder if you were that excited when your former owners came home to you?

I'm sorry that you were lost, but I'm secretly hoping that you don't want to go back to where you came from.  I don't know if someone dumped you off out here in the country, or if someone is missing you.  You weren't wearing a tag.  I do know that I will be good to you, and you are welcome to stay and call this your new home if you want to.

You're such a pretty shiny black lab... I think I'll call you 'Olive'.

Welcome Home Olive!
