Sunday I was driving home from picking up the chicken hutch frame
(It's upside down here - fit in the bed exactly!)


 and there were two dogs trotting down FM 725 weaving in and out of traffic.  I slowed down to get past them and felt a pang of worry for them.  I continued on towards my house.  Half way down Zipp I said to myself "If they are still there when I go back - I'll bring them home and find their owner".  I would have wanted someone to do that for me and my dogs (and if someone would have - - - who knows, it might have prevented the disaster that took place).  Well,  they were still there, so I stopped and opened up the cab door to the truck.  In they jumped and I took them home.  

One was a Weimeraner Mix female the other a male Spaniel Mix.  Cute dogs.  I gave them water and fed them - then played with them for awhile.  They were find hanging out in the back yard.




Monday I had jury duty - so I had to leave the house really early.  I didn't get selected, so I went to the library on my way home and made a poster with the digital pictures I took.  I took it to Kinkos to make copies, and the guy there did them for free (nice of him).  My first stop with the posters was the local shelter.  I went in and explained I had these dogs, and I'd take care of them Okay - I just needed them to post the poster and keep their ears open for anyone calling for them.  They said - no need, the owners already were calling about them.  Yay!  The owner came by that afternoon and picked them up.  Cool - I felt really good about the experience.

Tuesday was Pecan day.  My two pecan trees have already dropped half their pecans - and they needed to be picked up before the Squirrels got everything.  I harvested over 20 pounds total between the two trees leaving a bunch for the Squirrels as well.  Good fun.  Shelling them won't be as fun....
