All in a days work for DH and I.
I took Friday off work so we could go back to his home town to buy a mini-van. My poor car was on it's last leg and being almost 8 months pregnant wasn't really safe for me to be driving. So, Instead of sinking more money into fixing it DH decided it was time we got a new (to us) vehicle. We looked at it over Easter weekend but the dealership was closed... so we went back Friday. It's a 2005 Chrysler Town and Country. It has 70,000 miles, stow-n-go seat and is pretty loaded. It's exactly what I was wanting... and we paid about 4,000 less than book retail value for it! Plus, when we go back in a few months the dealer is putting new tires on it too!
So, we closed the deal and went to his brother studio to visit with them. As we were leaving this super friendly, wiggly butt, brendel pit came up the sidewalk. I saw her following someone else just before but we figured she must have gotten away from her home. She had a 24petwatch tag so we called with her # and they connected us to her "owner". We took her into the studio in the mean time because we were on a pretty major street in town and didn't want her getting hit. She knew basic commands and was in really good shape so we knew she belonged to someone. Well, DH was getting the run around trying to find out where she came from. So, while he did more calling we took her to his parents and tied her up outside with water & kibble. We knew she was an indoor dog because she freaked out when we tried to leave her to get a bite to eat. So, I left DH with her while my FIL and I went to get lunch. By the time I got back, he had found her home which was only a few blocks from where we found her. Her daddy was very happy to have her back and I don't blame him. She was such a sweet heart. Said he went out looking for her as soon as he realized she had gotten out.
All in all it was a very good weekend.
