Animal Shelter
Yesterday, Sage and I took the two dogs for a walk around the soccer field, and a dog followed us for a mile and a half, even though I tried to make it leave, since Wile E. was acting crazy. At the end of our walk, we went to get in the car, and the dog hopped right in.
She is a real sweetheart, and has obviously been someone’s pet. Sage and I posted flyers all over the neighborhood, emailed one to the animal shelter and put a posting on Craigslist. So far, we have heard from no one. I can’t believe the owner wouldn’t have called the shelter by now!
We are all in love with her. Sage named her Sola, which seems fitting. He knows that we may not get to keep her. The last thing I wanted was another dog. Wile E. has been delighted, because Sola likes to play with him, whereas Salsa and the cats are really not interested. So now we (maybe) have five animals. It is starting to feel like a zoo. I made Sage promise me that he would go with the walks on me instead of riding his bike around so that I wouldn’t have to walk three dogs at once. He, unlike many other kids I hear about, does a good job of taking care of the dogs we have, so I do trust him to take on additional responsibility.
You know, I think we’re officially “dog people.” My cat, Varmint, is not pleased. And Gordon won’t even come in the house, although she’ll come around.
That’s Sola up ahead.
What a pretty face!
This is the “boring” part of the trail, but I love the railroad tracks.
Oh, and Greg and I are tying the knot this Saturday.

What a pretty dog, Sola is! And such an apt name.
Good luck for Saturday! Won’t be long coming around, will it? Nervous?

You wait until the end to drop your bombshell-wow!! Congrats on your news and much happiness. We pick up cats like crazy and not dogs, which is good. Dogs are more work. That is a beautiful face though.

I’m typing this comment very quietly. My cat says I’m not allowed to read your blog anymore, but I’m going to try and do it in secret…

Guess you’re married now.
Super cool, Michelle! I know everyone above has said the same thing, but that is a really cute dog. I hope no one comes looking for her. Hope you have a good vacuum cleaner. Ha.

What?! I’m totally out of the loop these days! Congrats! One of these days R and I will have a nice ceremony, which will feel more official and more romantic than our trip to the courthouse. Wishing you every happiness!
