I was going to post this yesterday, but the reality became more important than posting.
I found a lost dog. I kept her overnight, and I am now in love with her. She is smart and personable!
.. and I love dogs, anyway.
I placed her in the care of the Humane Society for a couple of weeks while they try to find the real owner. (better for her) If the owner does not show up after their best efforts for two weeks, I can claim her as mine.
I miss her, already.
