Today should have been my first day of training yet due to some circumstances, I had to stay at home. My husband had a fever last night which I had to monitor since the
pobrecito was so hot that the cold towel I rubbed on him was warm after application. He's all better now.
Anyway, I wanted to impart a little Valentine's Day surprise I got at our front door compliments of my friendly neighbor. This wasn't intended for me but seeing a lost puppy first thing in the morning was enough of a reason for me to get out of bed. I know that I should have called as soon as I saw him but my husband told me that he goes astray often and lives down the street. Being that he claimed that, I ran outside to pet him.
Behold my new friend, Pierre.
Anyone who knows me is fully aware of how I'm far from a pet person but I fell in love with this heart breaker. How could I have not? I sat with him on the porch for about 30 minutes and gave him water and just when I thought I could play with him, he walks away to visit another house. I felt bad and hoped that he would return.
Pierre did come back and my husband's female doggies went wild knowing that there was a male doggy in their midst. I think he favored Spice over Shugg. He barked at me and cried when my husband took away Spice. I felt like I had to call his owner before he wandered around elsewhere. I finally called the owner and he arrived shortly after. I found out that Pierre has a sister and a brother and they didn't notice that one of this dogs went astray. I felt sad seeing him leave but it showed how trained he was because as soon as his owner came, he was trailing behind the owner like a happy camper.
It was nice meeting you, Pierre!
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
