Lost and FOUND!

I quick but very happy post! I thought it was gone, I thought it was destroyed – but no! My stolen piece of leather was rescued from the dog unharmed. You see, our dog is a thief. He is as sweet as can be, a beautiful golden retriever, but a terrible thief! With our doggie door he can come and go as he pleases and we have an invisible fence to keep him in the yard. But he likes to have something with him when he goes out. Sometimes a towel, often a shoe, Mollies pocket book is a favorite, sweaters, toys, you name it. The good thing is he rarely chews on anything, he just takes it out in the dirt. Sweet dog.

I don’t carry a pocket book but I have one. I usually keep it in the car and I have the usual stuff in but don’t carry it around. When Eva and I got back to the car with our contraband leather I stuffed it in the bag. When every thing got unpacked when we got home the bag got brought in. As I left for work Monday morning I spotted the bag outside and the beautiful piece of leather was missing. I just assumed he couldn’t resist chewing on it.

But yesterday it turned up! Well actually I was the one turned up at the time. I was being spanked and couldn’t identify with what (I was blindfolded at the time) Nick kept having me guess but I couldn’t figure it out. Finally he put it in my hand and I was so happy! He had found it that morning before it was damaged. He tucked it in the toy box to bring out at a special time. And boy was yesterday special!
