Day 9, Found Friend

It always seems to happen to us, when ever there's a lost and wondering dog about, they seem to find our house. I was inside and the kids were outside and all of a sudden I hear it, the squeals and screams of joy that only happen when our kids find a lost furry friend. "Can we keep it?" Erik yells as soon as I saw him with her. "What should we name it?" Lily asks next. "We have a dog now?" Curby chimed in quickly. "No, no,no." I said over and over again. "Get some leashes from the garage and walk the dog up and down the neighborhood and find its owner." The kids shoulders slumped down as they went to get the leashes. They put in a good effort to walk the neighborhood and I even walked with them on streets to far for them to do alone trying to find anyone who might know where this dog belongs. A few hours later she's still with us and the kids are liking her more and more. She's been very well cared for by her owners and has a collar but not any tags. Lily made a "Found Dog" sign and posted it in a good spot in town. We will find her owners I'm sure but it is fun to have a furry friend around for awhile.
