Because of the miserable shopping opportunities here in Clarksville, I made three trips to Nashville this past week, and am proud to report that Emmy's room is stocked and our Christmas shopping is officially done! My plan is to stay closer to home for the next couple of weeks--I would really hate to be by myself an hour away from home when Emmy decides to show up :-P.
Speaking of showing up, we had a couple of unexpected visitors arrive in our garage yesterday afternoon...Nick found an adorable little cocker spaniel and an equally adorable black and white mutt looking for some TLC when he went to take the garbage out. They both had collars without identification tags and the mutt still had a leash attached--which caused us to be rather perplexed. Nick proceeded to walk the two little girls around our neighborhood in hopes of finding a concerned owner, but had no luck. With nightfall rapidly approaching, it looked like we were in for a sleepover. We set them up with food and water and a make-shift bed in the garage and provided some cuddles--the cocker in particular was so distressed she kept climbing into our laps and giving us hugs--it was the sweetest thing.
We made up fliers and posted them all around our neighborhood...Around 9:30pm last night, when I took Molly and Darla out to go potty, I heard someone calling a name--I let Nick know and he ran out to go check with the person. We found the owner! The dogs belong to one of our neighbors who was out shopping for the day and her elderly mother had taken the dogs out in their fenceless backyard and lost grip of the leash. She was apparently unable to come after them. Such a huge relief, we were so worried!! We have our hands full enough right now to take in a couple more dogs even though we were tempted!
