I usually post on the cat side, but I know this should be here! First, I must explain that I am moving in the morning! So you can imagine what my current place looks like! Boxes, boxes, everywhere! I left around noon today to run a couple of errands and then get back to packing, and as soon as I turned out of my apt. complex, I see a cute little pug running in the street! (And this is a busy street!) No collar! So I "park" my car sideways in the road, blocking traffic so the little sweetie doesn't get hit! I got out and tried to coax her into the car.... she kept running around it and out into the street again! Finally, she just jumped into the open car door and sat in the passenger seat!So I hop in again, pull to the curb and think.... "My goodness, what do I do now that I have you?"
She was a sweetie, never growling or barking or anything, she just leaned against me and let me pet her! Off we went to the ASPCA.... which is close by. They couldn't take her as they were full, so they gave me the numbers of 3 rescue groups in the area. I called all 3, and got no answer! I knew that I should be home packing, but I couldn't just let this little girl loose again.... so off we went to the store for some food and water! While on the way, one of the rescue groups called me back! She could take her, but I would have to bring her to her house since she was babysitting some young ones. Yep.... she lives about 30 minutes from where I was! So off we went. She was such a good girl in the car. She let me pet her and layed on the seat and went to sleep! When we got there, the resuce lady thought she might be in heat! She was going to take her to the vet that afternoon (after babysitting duty!) to check for chip and to get her checked out. If no chip, she would post for a found dog in all of the regular places. I felt good about leaving "Puggly" there! I will call in a few days to check on her and see if her owners have been found. Here's hoping she was microchipped and is maybe even back home with her family. She seemed very well behaved and loving, so I am sure she got out by mistake. Okay, I am done rambling.... just wanted to share me adventure today!

There is speculation that she may have been hit by a car. Poor thing. Apparently she is favoring, sort of dragging a little, one of her back legs. So she is on "crate rest", only going out for food and to pee and poo. While she is very friendly to people, she is a little aggressie with the other dogs at the rescue. But overall, she is doing well considering all that she has probably been through. She is going back to the vet tomorrow for another check of the leg. I will keep evryone posted!
