I am driving down a road that is under
construction. It has been torn up for months and I drive this road 4 times each
week, up one way and back down the other. I go very slowly due to the rough
road, men working and all the equipment. For the past few weeks there have been
school buses going up and down this same road. You know, school buses, big
yellow buses. Today the lane is narrowed to one side due to the men sawing a
huge chunk out of the other side.
I can see the bus on my side so I slow down
to a crawl and stop so the bus can get by. Mr. Traffic director is waving his
arms in a panic for me to stop. I am already by this time looking at my speedometer
read 2. I can see the bus. Yes traffic dude, there it is, right behind you a
huge yellow bus. He holds his arms out as if he is defending an attacking
against me and I am armed with a sword. I have stopped a good distance away and
still he is in arm waving panic. DUDE!!!!! I CAN SEE THE BUS!!!!!!
He was maybe
a little demented.
I was in the office last week when a
young teenage girl and her dad came into the office where I was working. They
asked if we had some puppies. We do not keep animals. All of our cats and dogs
live in foster homes. She was so disappointed. I gave her the web site address
and told her to get online and check out what we had available and schedule a
visit.
I also told her to check out what might be available at the shelter and
then informed her that we had an adoption event at PetSmart on Saturday.
The
point of this little tale was how sweet the scenario was. Daughter and daddy
must have discussed a pet and talked over size and breed and care and responsibility.
He was beaming like the proverbial Proud Papa and she was just glowing with excitement
and triumph. I absolutely hated to disappoint her. She just crumbled when I
explained the situation.
But as I further explained that the fostered pets were
all vetted and lived in homes where they were taught manners that she would be
getting an already trained dog she just needed to provide the love. Her and her
daddy both perked up again and decided that perhaps adopting was a good idea. I
wonder how it ended.
