So afterwork was suppose to go like this. Take dog to vet, start dinner, go for a run. It went more like this. Husky runs away and slip out of her collar as I'm leading her to the car. Other dog distracts me so that I do not notice that she is trying to get out of the collar. I take off my heals and put on my running shoes (still in work clothes) and get into car to look for her.

Bystander with dog says, "she is over there!" to which husky sees me and runs in other direction. I continue to run for one mile. Finally more men stop in their car and call her over. she goes over there and they stop her. She does not listen to women. They let me borrow a rope b/c I forgot her leash in the car. They continue to follow me all the while saying they are not creepy stalkers. While I assure them that my intention was not to take their rope.

Nice stalker men wait for me at my car one mile later. Husband calls I give round about location. He drives by to give stalker men a look of deathand to resuce me in case I should be kidnapped and murdered (later I found out he was worried about his dog and not me...sigh) got dog back in car. Drive home to get her water and me a change of clothes (yeah 60's!) b/c I was dripping wet.

Took dog to vet. Now 100 dollars poorer. Although now while I"m cooking dinner I have to go to walmart to pick up dog prescription. Can you believe that one you can get dog prescriptions at walmart (if they can be injested by people) and two at the vet they wanted 47 bucks and at walmart they want 8. Yeah! two pills twice a day. The vet tells me oh you can just wrap it in cheese. Yeah she eats around the cheese. She is 11 years old and has learned  a trick or two.

soon I will be able to eat and shower...So how is your Monday?

Dogs are so much fun sometimes. Loved the story! My son and daughter-in-law have a husky pup. Life is never boring and every day is a party in her world. :)

Wow - that was an entertaining read.

Hope your dog's okay!
