Still have an extra dog

It's Day 9 of Trying To Find the Dog's Owner. We went to Animal Control today & had her scanned for a microchip; no dice. It was a longshot at best--I can't imagine that someone who doesn't put a tag on a dog would go to the bother of having the chip put in--but we had to at least try. We entered her photo & info in the Lost & Found book while we were there.

Had a couple nibbles at least. We had a call from a woman who said she'd found the dog earlier & had been taking care of her. The dog had gotten away from her but she said she'd like to have her back. In the hour it took me to get home & call to make arrangements, her fiance had talked her out of it. Grrrr! Ralph talked to some kids who said the dog was theirs, and then backpedaled quickly on it. He told them to have their mom call, which she did. It's not their dog, however she might be interested in taking her as they are looking to get a dog. This was still early on when we thought there was a real chance of finding the owner, so Ralph told her to call back next weekend. Now, of course, we're wishing we'd given her the dog right off. I sure hope she calls again.

Bathed all four of the critters today. The bathroom is SOAKED and there isn't a drop of hot water left for Ralph & me to take our showers. The extra dog had so many fleas that I got Hali & Sadie completely bathed & Zoe halfway done before Ralph had finished washing that little pup. We Frontlined them, too, which should help.

Ordered pizza for dinner tonight. I feel too grubby to cook and in any case about the only thing we have ready to cook is fish. I don't feel like having fish for dinner. And that's about it for today I'm afraid.
