Foggy in More Ways that ONE!

 Foggy foggy this morning here.

Fog is often tough for me to capture, but this photo from my phone isn't all bad! 

I took it on my way to the shelter to help in the OR.

So,  one of the bloggers (? can't remember who) wants us to tell a story a day and be observant about our day. 

Here goes: Last week I was so overwhelmed at Spay Nueter. 

I took a dog out to go potty before her surgery and somehow she got loose from the collar.  

We are on a busy busy 4 lane major roadway. 

I was hysterical.  

This little black thing ran straight into the road. 

I called for the vet who was inside and would not have heard me in a million years. We were the only ones there at the time. 

The dog was headed for the woods across the street. 

Cars were coming. 

I stopped.  I tried to recall all my fabulous dog trainer had taught me years ago. 

I called her so cheerfully. 

I ran backwards to see if she would want to chase me. 

I called again.

A big white Yukon truck was barrelling down on the road. 

Suddenly, she stopped, and ran right to me. 

Oh my God.  I was so relieved, overwhelmed by what COULD have happened. 

I went inside and told the Vet I lost 10 years off my life just then. 

She was supportive and wonderful. 

I got to working in the OR and did my job.

BUT, I cried all the way home from the shelter. 

What if? 

Oh dear?

All the what ifs? 

I was so blessed little black dog came running back to me. 

In the nick of time. 

I keep her picture on my lap top to remember how lucky I am. 

OH yeah, here's the hat I'm making.
