Miss Stella Has a Sleep-Over

My son Bly was traveling down the Post Road minding his own business around 8:00 pm this evening. Out of the corner of his eye he spotted this beguiling girl trotting down the side of the road. Of course, being my son, he got out of the car and persuaded her to get into the car. (Actually his friend's car, who was as much into rescue-mode as Bly was.)

And, of course, Bly brought the dog here to our house. His words: "Dad, Mom come out to the driveway - I have something to show you!" Those are never words a parent wants to hear. Trust me. It almost always means you are going to have an additional animal/person living under your roof.
As you can see, my Stella-dog is tolerating this insult with great dignity and aplomb. Good girl! Don't forget mommy loves you!

As much as she is an endearing dog, tomorrow will be a day of trying to find her owners. And if owners aren't found?? Anyone want a loving and adorable basset hound named Edna? Oh, had I mentioned she's been named? That's not a good sign, is it? Welcome to the family, Droopy Edna...O dear!

expect strays every now and again!

10:00am Ed/Edna/Dolly update! Got a call from Officer Smith this morning at 8am. (A bit early to be calling on a Saturday morning don't you think, Officer Smith??) "Is this Mrs. Blystone? Yes? Good. Got your message from last night. That dog's name is Dolly! Did Dolly have a good night with you? Yes? She's a bit of an escape artist. We spend lots of time together." He called Dolly's owner, (who turns out to be a dear friend of Lauren/Mental Mama), she called me and Miss Dolly will be heading home in just a bit! Dolly's mom said Dolly's human siblings came home and left the door ajar for approximately 5 seconds. That's all the time Dolly needed to make her escape. And she can't wear a collar because she's so fleshy and collars cause her to develop sores. Lucky dog this time around!
