Summer

We had a dog for an hour. Our girls are dog obsessed. Lilly has always loved dogs and Ella is completely "puppy" infatuated. She looks for puppies everywhere we go and she repeats the word over and over again. She can spot them a mile away. We were actually going to get a dog this spring or summer until we found out we were expecting the boys.

Today we found a stray. She was running down our street so fast as we were on our way home. I called her to come but she ran faster. I actually thought it was our neighbor's dog, "T.O." but saw she had on a pink collar. We got close to her at one point and she just looked at me, circled in front of my car, I opened the door to see if she was nice or not and she hopped right in and laid down on my passenger seat. The girls were squealing from their car seats!

I found out her name is Summer and I called the number on her tag but no one answered so I left a message. Then, we just drove around with her and I fell totally in love. She is the sweetest dog!

I finally figured out where she lived and drove to the house. Someone came to the door and told me he was a contractor and they had accidentally let the dog out and there were search parties out looking for her. He was so appreciative he was crying. It was really sweet.

But the sweetest part was what Lilly said on the way home. She said, "Mommy, we help people, old people, and dogs."
Yes, that's right, we do.
