Well, the weekend didn't go quite as planned. We (S13, S16, and I) were watching the new doggie, and after I went to golf Saturday S16 opened the door to let a friend in, and doggie bolted. He tried to catch her, she ran, and, well, despite hours looking, no doggie. GF is obviously upset, but really seems to be not blaming me. She's having more luck at that than I am! I was thinking, if I was just home... but you know, it probably wouldn't have made any difference. And S16 has been living in a house with a small dog for 10 years, so it isn't like I left someone irresponsible in charge. I sure hope someone found her and wanted a pup, I hate to think of the more likely outcomes.
GF gets home this evening, she is stopping by on the way home. Probably will be a bit emotional for both of us.
