Dog-gone
Last night at 11:00 we were supposed to be trying to get to sleep. But instead I was asking Scott "How could this happen?" I was sure that the rumours we false about dogs not lasting long in the Williams house. We kept warning the children not to get too attached to Angus because this home has gone through 7 dogs in 6 years (or something like that).
At 9:00 we went to go for a walk, and Scott saw the dog run by him and out the open door. He heard the dog steps jaunting away down the street. We all looked for him for 2 hours. Ben searched the house. We called his name everywhere. The boys were sad. I wondered how to tell Matthew about it in the morning.
As I lay in bed at 7:00 the next morning, tired after a restless Angus-less sleep, I heard excited pitter patter sounds. Scott asked "Do you recognize the footsteps?" It was Angus! At 4:00 am he starting licking a sleeping Nathan, who woke Ben up to show that Angus was safe. Phew, I didn't have to tell Matthew. It all became a humorous story to tell then.
So today Scott prepared everyone for the future by saying..."Don't get too attached to the dog..."
