I was trying to have a "couch day" today, when one of my neighbour's daughters knocked on the door asking if the lost injured dog she found belonged to us. It's obviously not mine, but I couldn't just leave the poor thing to wander, especially not with a main road nearby! So, made a couple of phone calls, drove him to a vet for a microchip scan, as he had no collar. Well, no microchip either. Ahhh!!! Pet owners, do you know how hard this makes things for the person who finds your dog? Not to mention that it's illegal to not microchip. :( I wanted to avoid the pound and to make sure he got any medical attention he might need, so I then took him to another vet, who takes strays. He'll get checked out, stay there a few days, then go to the pound. If nobody claims him in a few weeks, he'll be put up for adoption. Since the Vets and shelters are not in our suburb, I'll try to advertise around the neighbourhood. But really, his chances are not good, with no ID. Hopefully his family will find him though and get him microchipped (and desexed!) Or else, he'll find a new family. I intend to stay updated if I can. Above is a pic of him.
I also made this caramel pecan covered popcorn. The recipe was from Urban Animal Magazine- I also made a bird variety, covered in seed.
