Now how interesting is this?

Last Tuesday after court my friend spotted a pit bull puppy running loose and it just happened to be in my neighbors yard. See blog titled "Dead Dog" Tuesday January 15th.

When the animal control officer went to check it out the neighbor lady--maybe lady isn't the right term--got all riled up swearing it wasn't her dog and threatening harassment charges on my friend and me.

Since then other daycare parents have reported hearing and seeing a puppy next door but when I went to look it was nowhere in sight. Tuesday morning I awoke at 4:00am to what sounded like a puppy crying outside my bedroom door. The only thing that kept me from investigating then was my toasty Tempurpedic bed inside and the sleeting rain outside. Today during naptime I heard the puppy crying again and ran to get my camera but the batteries were dead. I put them on the charger and forgot about it until later in the afternoon when one daycare mother, the animal control officer, was pulling out of my driveway and spotted the little white puppy that definitely did not belong to the people at 911 C. St. tied up in their back yard with their other dog. She called me and of course I immediately grabbed my friend the camera, now with freshly charged batteries, and snapped a dozen or so pictures over my fence. I couldn't actually see either dog so I just aimed all over the yard and look what I found.

Apparently I'm not as stealthy as I'd like to think I am. The woman must have seen the flash once or twice because she came out screaming and hollering the "F" word (and I'm not talking about "flip") and I think she threatened bodily harm a couple of times. At some point she came up to my fence and must have smashed her face up against it trying to see in as she offered yet more obscenities.

Busted!

Aint that sweet. Suppose the woman next door would like a pic of her doggies getting along so well together? Perhaps not.
