Didn't have work Friday. Had band practice in the afternoon into the evening, so I didn't see Kelly. But she must have had a slow morning at work... she texted something like... "Random thought, I want a poodle." She has had a poodle most of her life, but had given up her last one about five years ago while selling the house during/after her D. So, she sent some pics from rescue web sites, some ads, I told her it sounded like a good idea, and that I understood, since I had really wanted to have cats.
Anyway, Saturday she was going to go shopping in town (remembering we live an hour apart), and then we were going to meet to hang out and get my car from the shop. So, I was having lunch out with the kids, and she asked if she could stop by and say hi. Sure! So, she sat and talked with us, S13 was especially excited by the puppy talk. By then, she had changed her mind about clothes shopping, and was going to do some other shopping, and possibly stop at Petsmart to see if there were any adoptive poodles. So, we dropped the kids at home, and I went with her.
Before long, she had found a really interesting ad using her phone, and had arranged a visitation. We swung back around and picked up S13, and off we went. Long story short, came back with a new dog!
All of us went down to her house to play with the dog and have pizza, then way too late I drove home with S13 and S17.
Yesterday morning she texted and said I should come over and visit Emma (the dog)... though I don't think that was her actual plan! Spent some time there, went golfing while she rested. Stopped in again late in the afternoon, left before dinner so she could get ready to go to dinner with her D's boyfriend's family.
XW got off work early, so she picked up the boys for Mothers' day.
