Our Little Visitor


Jenn and I had a little visitor at our apartment yesterday. I came home from work to find a cute little dog on our doorstep... What is odd about this is that: 1) the dog made it past our guard. 2) the dog managed to get inside the gate which is normally closed and 3) the dog came into the building, up the stairs two flights and sat in front of our door. I can only assume that she was trying to find a way to stay out of the rain?

At first, she was very cautious about us. It was so cute to see her inch her way forward on her belly as we coaxed her inside with a piece of buff jerky (that's right not beef jerky, it's actually buffalo). I think we won her over pretty quick with the treats. She took to exploring our apartment and after an hour of visiting, she decided to take a nap at our front door. Pretty damn cute. The thought briefly flitted through our heads that we should keep her, but I know she has an owner and we were guessing that she lives at the orphanage down the street. How bad would that be stealing a dog from a group of orphans! After her nap, we sent the dog on her way.

All I can say is that the episode made me miss our dog Angie that much more.
