Machete finds a sweet Spot

Wily Machete escaped from me on Friday night. Having chased him down a few times now, I've figured out that it's best to just grab a leash, give him a wide berth and let him run himself tired. He dashes aimlessly but only within a three-block section of the trail that we regularly walk.

Sometimes, he'll find puddle of water and lay down in it. Sometimes he'll dive under a tree and emerge with a plastic sack looped around his neck and flapping in the breeze like a superhero's cape. (OK, that only happened once, and I desperately wish I had a photo.) On Friday night, I looked up to see him romping through the grass with a fellow bully dog.

Found dog needs a new home

Will you be this pitty puppy's new mama?

Recently, I posted a picture of a Found Dog poster that I spotted on the trail. It looks like whoever took in that wayward pup hasn't had any luck finding her owners, and is now trying to find the pretty girl a forever home. The photo above and a couple of others are on Craigslist.

From the sound of it, the dog is a real sweetheart. I wonder if the good samaritan who took her in will have a hard time letting her go. The last time we found ourselves in a similar situation, I just couldn't bring myself to re-home the dog. I suppose that means I'm not an ideal candidate for fostering...

Spotted on the trail

This is not a wayward dog that I found, but we spotted this poster on a walk. I'm glad other people in the neighborhood are kind enough to help out a list puppy. I hope his owners materialize!
