So, on Monday the manager at Papa John's next to my store, told me that she had to call the Humane Society and that they had sent out Animal Control, because someone had left a litter of puppies behind our dumpster. They had picked up 2, but one remain elusive.
Tuesday, I went into work, took the trash to the dumpster out the back door. The door was open maybe 5 minutes. I came back in, ran to the bank, came back, did some stuff on the computer and came out into the dark store, ready to open for the day. What the ???? There were pink M & M's everywhere. I thought a giant rat had gotten into the store. There under a rack of new dvds, sat a little brown puppy. I said "Bad Dog" and she took off, hiding behind the new release wall.
Long story short, I opened the store, Larcus, local tattoo artist and good customer, got the puppy out of our wall. Bernadette, another good customer with dog experience checked her out - she looks healthy, but exclaimed - "she's ugly". Two other customers picked her up, one thought that she would take her home, to be with the other 4 dogs she had........until......Tim stopped by on his lunch, and held her.
Casey disappeared just about a year ago, and new addition has come into the family, as fate would have it. The boys and I named her Pepper, for her dark but multi colored coat. Max told his teacher today, her name is Salt.....More to come, I'm sure.
