Sitting in my "home office" (spare bedroom) filing paperwork, I glanced out the window on Monday and saw a doggie happily trotting around, heading up the street. Naturally I had to run out and get him safely in my back yard.

Tasha was crazy excited and kept trying to get him to play, lol. He was ALL BOY, and I swear he marked every square inch of my back yard in minutes. :blink:

First I thought he was Fluffy, who lives 2 houses down. But when I went over and rang the bell, I heard Fluffy barking (no one was home). So then I thought maybe he lives in the house 4 doors UP and went there and knocked. Again no one home, and only 1 dog barked (they have 2). Those folks work all day, so I guessed I had him for the day. Dad and I had to go out, so I left him inside with all of mine. He was fine with the cats, too.
We returned home 2 hours later, and the darn dog had marked EVERYWHERE with Willy right behind him. :doh: Worse, Marlin was sitting in his bed shaking, and totally soaked. I put the guest outside with Willy and Tasha, proceeded to calm Marlin and start clean up. Went out in the back yard to check and . . . the visitor was GONE! :shutup2:
I was planning on doing dog baths yesterday anyway, got Marlin cleaned up first. Then took a break and tried to find how the dog got out. I think / hope I found the spot! Sure hope he got home OK.
Update: He is back! Just let him in the gate to the back yard again! Looks like he was out all night, he is very dirty now.
