On Tuesday, December second, I was heading out to pick up my sister so she could come have dinner with us.
As I was about to back out of the driveway, the garbage truck was blocking the driveway. So I waited for them to leave. And I decided to make sure the garbage had been picked up so I could put the can back into the garage. Well, I lifted the lid on the trash can and i was still full of garbage.
I sped down the road chasing the garbage truck until I finally got the guy to stop. I asked him why he didn't pick up out trash. He explained that he goes down the street and circles back and then does our side of the street. Well, I felt a little silly, but I can handle some silliness.
Next thing, I notice a dog in the road eating trash. A big dog- maybe a yellow lab? I called to the dog and it ran up to my car and them acted spooked and ran off. I noticed an older woman (probably younger than me) wearing native dress (common in out neighborhood) calling to the dog with little success. I found a dog leash in the consul of my car and offered it to the woman to use. Between us we were able to corral the dog and get the leash onto it.
(this is NOT the dog I am writing about, but looks like it)
The dog was too strong for the woman to manage and guide where she wanted to go. I offered the woman and the dog a ride home. She spoke very little English but was able to point the way.
I am so glad I did offer a ride because her house was the farthest from where we were of any house in the neighborhood. Delivered the lady and the dog- who did not want to get out of the car. The woman got her daughter on the phone/ tablet who's English was prefect. She was very thankful. I am just so glad I was able to help. That poor scared dog could have gotten hit by a car or even the garbage truck.
Oh, and did I mention it was pouring down rain!
I picked up my sister and brought her to our house. We got to visit with Darcy and Jody and baby Galileo. I made lasagna and we had a very pleasant day
