3 legged little dog. That is what I got at the store today. The dog had been out for about four days. Someone was coming to take him for the long nap. I said that maybe we, Guinness and me, could some three legged company. A woman from the rescue agency was on her way to get him, so I had to wait until she got there. Once the nice lady got there, looked at me and Guinness, and said it looked like a good match. So the little thing was set down and he took off headed north as fast as a three legged dog can run, which is was much faster than me. He ran north about four blocks, past the church, then turned, crossed the street, and headed south. About this point people started pulling up asking if I wanted help. One couple, even held up a Chihuahua. I guess they wanted to show they were dog lovers, and thought their little dog may entice this three legged thing into passivity. In the meantime, I was badly winded. The three legged beast turned, like I said, and ran about five blocks south. I am not making any of this up. I was walking back to my car almost ready to give up the chase. Then a kid pulled up in a car and stated that they had the three-beast cornered, and offered me a ride. So I said okay. So I was delivered to where this poor little dog was cornered and surrounded by a flock of people, totally panicked. I reached down to try to pet him. He bit off the tip of my finger. Fortunately my right hand, not my left, so I can still chord, which is fun. Then a kid brought me a leash and said he on Animal Planet how one throw a loop around a dog to capture it. So, said yes, I tossed lariats around a calf or two. The kid was trying to show me how make a loop. Good job, kid. I did take the leash, made a good loop and tossed it over three legs neck. Amazing -- once the leash was on he was settled down. As we walked back to the car, at the store, people commented that they thought he was my dog -- like I would let my dog get that for out of hand, huh-huh. Anyway, I got him back to my car, with people stopping to comment that he sure looked like my dog. I got him to my car, opened the back door, he jumped in with Guinness.
