That was emotional...

Since we became dog owners we've developed a bad habit for finding lost dogs.  Generally we've had a good record of happy endings where it's a dog that's managed to get out of a yard and gone to explore.  Sometimes this ends badly, a dog ran under the car in front of me a few months ago.

Yesterday was hard for other reasons.  I spotted a Weimaraner wandering around near the house.  She was old but very docile and I had no trouble getting her into the car.  But, no collar, no chip, I had no choice but to take her down to the Dog Shelter.  The guess was that she's in her teens, pretty old for a large dog.  Her teeth were in bad shape, and I suspect that there was a tumor growing on her side.

That said, she was a lovely old dog.  Mellow, relaxed and seemed happy.  Leaving her at the shelter was awful, she got distressed when I left, but at least they'll be able to look after her.  Sadly there's no way that an elderly dog can live with two hyper-energetic young labs.

Anyway, that wasn't all that fun.

More stuff...

The story of the lost dog has a happy ending - it turns out it was a neigbour's dog that shouldn't be let out.  She's a sick 12 year old.  Anyway, she's back at home and being pampered.  That's nice to know.  Although we have been accused, on one of the blogs we left messages on about the lost dog of not doing enough to find the owners...

Sheesh, you ask the people where you found it; you go to 2 vets; you take it to the no-kill shelter; you post messages on Craigslist, a blog and pet finder...  I can't quite believe some people.

Anyway, that's good.

Catching up on some Smallville - random thoughts.  If I was Lionel Luthor I'd just buy and island and move there, seriously what is the point of being a billionaire and spending that much time in hospital.

If I believed that Lana would stay dead I'd be celebrating.

 EDIT: Chloe's hair appears to have grown 3 inches between episodes.  SERIOUSLY do you bother with continuity???
