Back before Caleb was born, we decided it was best to give our 3 dogs away to homes that would be able to spend more time with them. Our Molly went to a family that lives two blocks away from us.
Well, today, as I was checking the mail at the end of our road before heading into town, Molly ran across the road right in front of me and headed toward our house! I couldn't believe it! Imagine how hard it is always wondering if your dog is happy in her new home which just so happens to be right down the road! Many a time I have held myself back from driving by just to get a glimpse of her!
Anyway, I jumped out of the car and called to her...she stopped abruptly and came running back to me! Still in shock, I knelt down and started petting her, wondering what I should do. She had no collar on and there was a little bloody spot on her foot. I frantically called Jeffrey, who of course didn't answer because he was working. Then I tried my dad, who was working with Jeffrey. No answer! Tried Jeffrey again...continued to think how crazy this was! Finally, I called my mom and asked her what I should do. She said she didn't know but apparently we were all in a phone triangle talking to each other, or in my case, just trying to get through!!! As we were talking, I looked down at Molly as she proceeded to walk over to a mailbox, hike her leg and use the bathroom! I thought to myself, "Wait, that's not right!"
Turns out, Molly wasn't really Molly but the spitting image of her with different parts!
When I finally did get in touch with Jeffrey, all he could do was laugh, and then ask, "Why didn't you check to begin with?" My feeble response was, "She, I mean HE looked EXACTLY like Molly!" Still, all I received was laughter!
