I found a dog running in and out of traffic yesterday and managed to get him. We both got dinged by a city bus when he dashed into the road with me behind him, but we are just bruised. After I wrestled him into the car, I called my WAS. She is literally the only other person I know who would understand. SHe dropped everything to come to the vet. We named the dog and she said she would take him until his owner could be found. She referred to "us" and "our house" while we were at the vet. I checked in periodically to see how he was doing, and last night she was on her way to the OP's with the dog. I didn't get hit by a bus so she could play house with the OP and a new dog. ANyway, at 7:30 this morning I got a text saying that she didn't sleep a wink because the dog wouldn't settle. The OP was clearly not impressed because she said she had to walk the dog from 4:30 until 6:00AM, presumably so the hothouse orchid OP could sleep. If she was here we would have walked the dog together. I guess being gleeful for inadvertantly putting a kink in their romantic evening is childish, but maybe she saw another side of the OP...who knows? She would never tell me... She wants to come and see our dogs this evening at my parents (they'll be dressed up for halloween) but thinks she may be sleeping by then... I keep reading into things. How will I know what is a sign that DB always talks about or if it's just nothing?
