dog owners for the day

Our neighbors found a stray dog today and asked us if we could keep her in our backyard. They were on their way to a soccer game and wanted somewhere to put her while they were gone. She had a collar but no tags and the police told them that since it was the weekend, animal control would not come unless she were injured. So she hung out in our backyard all day.

We threw some balls out there along with some food, water and a rawhide...which she immediately buried in our garden. She ran around with a soccer ball in her mouth the majority of the time. Carl and Connor went outside for a little while to play with her. Connor thought this was the coolest thing that could happen today. He spent the whole time in front of the sliding back door window giving us a play-by-play of what the dog was doing. Emily was only slightly impressed, joining Connor at the window only a few times.

Our neighbors came and got her after dinner so that she can spend the night in their home. They're going to put her in our yard again in the morning before they leave for work so that animal control can come get her and take her to the shelter. Hopefully, someone is looking for her.
