My spookilicious Halloween morning :-)
Oct. 31st, 2008 11:17 amYesterday Walk: 45 minutes
Today's Walk: 55 minutes (well it was 60 minutes but 5 minutes trying to get a puppy safely inside his home)
Weird Experience:
I'm on my way back home on my morning walk (little hook - so I'm on Ferryboat Lane) - and one of the streets puppies comes across the road to greet me. He's a black poodle and so adorable. This is a road without a lot of traffic, but this is the time of the morning where people are leaving for work (in big Texas SUV's and trucks) - so he shouldn't have been loose at all.
I picked him up and walked to his house (I see him often - so I know which house is his). I never paid much attention to the house before - but as I walked up to knock on the door I see that it's in quite bad shape. Cigarette butts all over the front yard - and the door bell is broken. I knocked - no answer. I wait a minute to see if someone will come to the door. Nope.
I figure maybe I can put him in his backyard so he will be safe. I walk around the side of the house - and jeez.... it's like a crack house. The backyard is all way overgrown with all kinds of junk in the yard. I noticed that the back gate of the yard is missing, so putting him there won't work.
I go back to the front door and knock again - and wait. I KNOW the people are home because their cars are in the driveway. Then I start to feel uneasy - what if they are criminals or serial killers or whatever. I felt kind of scared like when I saw Texas Chainsaw Massacre. :)
I reluctantly decided to leave the puppy on the porch and hope he will stay there (STAY PUPPY!!). I walked away - once I was almost off the property I glanced back to see if he was following. No puppy - and someone was driving away in one of the cars..... weirdness. They were waiting for me to leave. Gave me chills!!!
