My Good Deed

Things happen for a reason. I have always believed that to be true. This morning proved that to me. I got up at 4:30 and didn't really feel like running and thought about just going back to bed but i thought..no i'll just get up lift weights and see how i feel after that.. so i lifted weights. That took about 45 minutes ..afterwards i started feeling better and decided to go for my run. I was about 2 miles into my run around my neighorhood when i saw the cutest little dog go running by me. He had on tags so i knew he belonged to someone. He was running right for the road that is just outside the neighborhood. I called to him..he looked back but kept on running..so i went after him. He ran across the road and a truck had to slam on brakes not to hit him. The poor thing was scared to death after that..so i ran across the road and picked him up. I didn't have my glasses on so i really could read the small tag he had on so i was just going to take him back to my house and call from there...he was the sweetest thing..giving me kisses the whole time i was walking down the road. Then i saw this car driving very slow down the road..thankfully yes it was the owner. Poor thing she looked like she had been crying ..she jumped out of her car and ran to me. She thanked me over and over...talking about how the dog was her little baby and how she had just opened the door to go get the paper and she just ran out before she could get her.

I hate to think what would have happened to that little dog if i had decided to go back to sleep.

So after that i finshed my run. Muffin was none to happy to smell the other dog on me. Great now my dog thinks i'm cheating on her...lol
