Today's agenda ... Mark hopes to paint the shed and BBQ shed today. No rain predicted! Me, a trip to the post office and puttering about the house.
Well, that plan got a monkey wrench tossed into it. LOL. As I left the post office, I saw a black woolly dog crossing the highway and coming towards me. The car in front of me came to a halt and the driver opened the door. I hoped it was the dog's owner. It wasn't. The Man looked about rather bewildered so I stopped my car and walked up to see if he needed a leash. This nice man grabbed hold of the dog's collar, then picked him up. I decided right then and there it was safer for me to take the dog. The man was on his way to work so couldn't deal with the dog.
Meet Rowdy! I pulled into the driveway with him in the backseat and honked the horn five times; hoping Mark would stick his head out and help. After he rolled his eyes a couple times, he went to get a dog chain from our backyard. We took the dirty black dog from the backseat of the Kia, and hooked up. I went for a bowl of water and Milkbones! Mark took a picture of dog tag as we couldn't hold him still enough to read it. Luckily, he had a rabies tag from 2014, registered in West Virginia. After a Google search, I found the phone number for the particular county and phoned. I was lucky it was a small county and the person who answered the phone actually helped me! Wow. She came back on the line and gave me the phone number of the vet who issued the tag. So, another phone call, and again, I was lucky enough to reach a girl by the name of Kim. I told her my story and she provided an owners name, the dog's name and verified the tag number. Great.
I phoned the number, and asked, "Do you know where Rowdy is???" He didn't know ... had no clue. He and his wife moved to Florida yesterday from West Virginia, and just returned the rental truck. Their two dogs were left in the backyard. I guess Rowdy felt abandoned and went to find them. Anyway, the man came within a few minutes and picked up his dog. There's never a dull moment is there?
So tonight, Randy and Dawn are coming over for cocktails; we're going to Stavros for dinner, and then playing Mexican dominoes here.
Randy was the BIG winner ... high scores all around, but he bested Mark at the last round.
Dawn finally got over her shyness and poured herself some wine ... with the LID on. LOL.
Hahaha.
But, the gaff of the night was Oxy Hives. It's a fantastic product ONLY bought online from the manufacturer. Mark brought it out as I was scratching from a bug bite. Well, I sprayed it on ... like I always do ... but decided to look it up on Google for Randy & Dawn. I started to read the ingredients for Randy and segued into directions. I stopped dead. It said "Spray under your tongue." W-HHHAT??? I've been spraying it ON the hives. LOL. Well, you can't imagine the laughter. Here we've been spraying poor Robbie religiously with it. LOL
Well, that's it for today. Our stomachs hurt from laughing. Ta ta.
