Sandy... Why are you following me?

Remember Annie? "Dumb dog, why are you following me? I don't have a crumb dog..."

Well, today, we ended up with our own "Sandy". He is a gray Lopso apso without anyone to claim him. We put him on a leash, while we were gone today, with some water, a sign saying take the dog leave the leash and call us. But when we got home, he was still there. We also called the Humane Society for their lost and found, but no one has put a request in for him yet. Poor pup.

This is the funny part: The other evening, we were at a local cafe playing cribbage, enjoying a glass of wine, and the live music, when a lady sat down next to us with her small, dog carrier. I was a little annoyed that these small accessorised dogs are allowed in restaurants. These dogs get treated better than people at times. Anyways, walking home we were discussing the scenario and we both agreed... "We will NEVER own a small dog!"

BUT, now that we have a stray we are seeing that there are some perks for having a small dog:
1. They do not tear up your yard like a larger dog
2. This particular dog is very mellow and doesn't demand much attention.
3. The dog is older and potty trained... another great perk!
4. This dog I have yet to hear bark... Hmmm, not all small dogs are yippy dogs?

So, are delima... do we keep him till we find the owners, or do we turn him into the humane society? He will be held for 5 days before getting adopted at the H.S. We were thinking of housing him for those days, but knowing us, we will become too attached and he will become our permanent stray. Any thoughts?

Owners... PLEASE come and get your dog!
