I don’t know how I missed this post, but I did.

As for the dog, Jeff good for you…so many people give in to instinct and put themselves in harm’s way to save it.

Here’s my dog story: 7 months pregnant I was driving a country road in pitch darkness when a dog pops out of nowhere in front of me and an oncoming vehicle.

The other vehicle swerved to the curbside to avoid the dog (because we each couldn’t swing over center or we’d hit each other) and ended up going into the ditch.

I, on the other hand, drove right into it. And congratulated myself for avoiding what instinct told me to do, which would have been to try to avoid the dog by swing right off the road, placing me and baby-to-be in harm’s way.

Now perhaps my self-congratulations is tempered by the fact that the dog I hit was a pitbull who was used to running loose in our neighbourhood. Whatever. I think it was the right move any way you slice it.

So kudos to you for showing that when placed in a tough road situation you will let reason, not instinct, guide your actions.

And for the record, the dog *completely* ran into me too!!!

#1 — Ah-ha! Another reason I can brag about living in this tundra we call Minnesota. Poopy diapers freeze in the garage! Well, for 5 months out of the year anyway.

Oh, poor dog. I hope it wasn’t a family pet…

Darcie, the way you indulge you sweetie on Valentine’s day sounds a lot like the way I indulged mine…poor guys. I did make a fantastic shrimp cocktail, though…that should count for something, right?

In Jeff’s defense, the biker really kinda hit him, it is funny to think back at that, but yea, you are a magnet for things, like that, I should know, I am too.

XOXO

How were those margaritas?
